It’s a new year, and I have resolved to use up pantry ingredients; before I buy groceries, needlessly. I usually make a chili “taco salad”, using canned chili. Tonight, I wanted cornbread. It just so happened, that I had buttermilk that needed to be used as well. I love it when everything falls into place.

I love how quick this recipe comes together. It’s perfect for those nights when you don’t want to put a lot of effort into making dinner.
