Southern Broccoli Cornbread

One of the great perks of my job is getting sent cookbooks to review.
 I have shelves and shelves of cookbooks of all kinds but I seriously never get tired of them and add to my collection often.
When I received Nicki Pendleton Wood’s new cookbook, Southern Cooking for Company, I was intrigued by the description: “More than 200 Southern Hospitality secrets and show off recipes.”. After reading it over and marking recipes I wanted to try, I was chomping at the bit to get in the kitchen and start cookin’ some good ol’ Southern food! 
 
 
Here are the recipes I have made so far: 
Frozen Pink Lemonade Pie
Summer Squash Souffle Casserole
Sweet Corn and Chorizo Sausage Pudding
Chocolate Whiskey Buttermilk Cake with Praline Topping
 
“Of all the great ideas in Southern Cooking for Company, the best bit of advice is, don’t wait to entertain- have people over whenever you can, however you can.” – Nicki P. Wood
 
Nicki is a blogger, food write, and restaurant review and for Southern Cooking for Company, she has complied 200+ Southern inspired recipes that go from traditional to out there {but in a good way}! I made five of her recipes in one week and this Broccoli Cornbread was the first. Cottage cheese adds a fluffy, moist texture and loads of broccoli and Cheddar make it a tasty and filling side dish!
Come back all week for more recipes from Southern Cooking for Company and scroll down for the Broccoli Cornbread recipe and to enter to win a copy of Southern Cooking for Company for yourself!

Notes

Recipe from Southern Cooking for Company by Nicki Pendleton Wood
Did you make this Recipe?Tag @flchefnicole or hashtag #fortheloveoffoodblog
I used one head of Broccoli for this recipe. Cut off the stem and cut into florets. 
The original recipe calls for frozen broccoli which works well too.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl.
Add the broccoli, cheese, and melted butter to the bowl and mix well.
I like to use Vadallia onions. 1/2 of one large Vadilla is plenty. 
Stir in the cottage cheese and onion.
The recipe calls for a small pkg of cornbread mix. 
I chose traditional yellow cornbread.
Sprinkle the cornbread mix over the ingredients 
and mix until no pockets of dry mix remain.
Pour the mixture into the pan.
Smooth down the top and bake at 400 degrees for approx 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. 
Cut into squares and serve. 
Cornbread goes well with anything in the South!
Ashton grilled ribs (and hot dogs for Ava) and corn to go with ours!
Oh boy, you better believe we ate every bit of our dinner!
The next night it was Paula Deen’s Peanut Butter Ham
 and Squash Casserole with more Broccoli Cornbread. 
I could eat this cornbread every day!

    Awesome recipe! Going to be making this a lot! I didn’t have cottage cheese or sour cream, so I used cream cheese with dash of milk and sprinkle of lemon juice. I made with “Homesteader” recipe for Black-Eyed peas with Rotel tomatoes for New Years 2022 and omg, so delicious! Thank you! Shared pics of it on FB with link, too!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
