Oh most excellent cornbread. The secret is soaking the cornmeal and an extra egg (Southern-style). If you prefer a sweeter bread, use the apple. Otherwise, the squash is good. This is delicious with soup, toasted with cheese, or reheated with butter and honey.

You can buy whole grain cornmeal if you look hard. Be sure to store it in the fridge or freezer, though, as it spoils quickly.
