There’s now a new thing happening here on Tuesday nights and it’s called The Tuesday Night Supper Club.
Basically, TTNSC is a group I formed with ten girlfriends from church where we meet on Tuesday evenings to share a potluck dinner, drink wine and read the book Captivating. If you’re thinking that sounds like something out of a Judy Blume novel then….you might be right. It’s sort of an excuse to just drink wine and trash talk celebrities talk about Jesus .
And guess who hosts said club every Tuesday? Let’s just say that at the end of the evening we were drinking wine from jam jars and eating cobbler straight out of the pan.
I figured since I was going whole hog (heh heh) I might as well make cornbread to go along with it. And then I realized I don’t even have a cornbread recipe on the blog to begin with! The horror! The agony!
I’m in love with this cornbread recipe. Not only does it contain a liiiiiitle bit of sugar for mandatory cornbread sweetness, but it also contains a full heaping cup of sharp cheddar cheese.
Cheese + cornbread + chilies + honey = I die.
Unfortunately photos just don’t do this cornbread any justice at all. It’s dense, it’s cheesy and it’s packed with green chilies. I love it with pulled pork, white chicken chili and pretty much anything else that exists in this world.
Totally off topic, but I made these enchiladas the other night and God help me….they were hands down, the best enchiladas I’ve ever tasted. Sort of like Mexican macaroni & cheese?
When I’m old, saggy and gray, my biggest regret will be that I gave the leftovers to Adam to take to work for lunch.
If you’re like me, the only thing better than cornbread is cornbread with honey.
Amen.

May 19, 2011 at 4:48 amGood call with the cornbread — although I could eat a piece of cornbread with any meal and be happy!
Lindsay @ Pinch of Yum
May 19, 2011 at 4:49 amA little butter, a little honey… cornbread should be a dessert, really.
Jessica @ How Sweet
May 19, 2011 at 4:54 amLooove me some cornbread.
Estela @ Weekly Bite

Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
May 19, 2011 at 5:07 amOoh this does sound good! I had my first cornbread about 2 weeks ago and I loved how fluffy and light it was! I used Bob’s Red Mill cornbread mix (I know, you’d probably shudder at the thought of using a mix!) but next time I’m totally making your recipe!
Ellen
May 19, 2011 at 5:07 amJenna! Thanks so much for sharing the cornbread recipe! It looks awesome! I would totally recommend the book Captivating. I read it about a year ago and its SO insightful!
Emily
May 19, 2011 at 5:12 amLove the corn bread recipe! Its the spice of the chilies that get me! I want to check out the enchiladas too… if you have leftover regrets they must be good!!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
May 19, 2011 at 5:20 amlove cornbread, especially if it involves chilis.
katie @KatieDid
May 19, 2011 at 5:34 ami’m in love with cornbread, i like mine sweet though so i’d had to douse this in honey, but nonetheless it looks amazing!
amy walters, aDESIGNdock
May 19, 2011 at 5:35 amI love cornbread! I never make it, but whenever I eat it….yum 😉 I love it with apricot jam. So good.
Amanda
May 19, 2011 at 5:36 amI may go to hell for saying this but to date, I’ve never liked cornbread 😉 Maybe I should give it another chance…
Charise
May 19, 2011 at 5:45 amI make almost this exact same recipe, but I turn it into mini-muffins for parties so it lasts longer.

May 19, 2011 at 5:52 amThis must be one of nature’s most perfect foods! 🙂

Lauren at Keep It Sweet
May 19, 2011 at 5:54 amI love the idea of a Supper Club! That cornbread looks delicious.
Beth
May 19, 2011 at 5:58 amOh my. Cornbread is one of my favorite things in the world. I will likely be making a meal out of this very soon. YUM!
jenna
May 19, 2011 at 6:11 ami love cornbread! Also, did you like your savahanna honey? I”ve been dying to try some!
jenna

Rachel @ Rachel's Recipe Reviews
May 19, 2011 at 6:17 amAt first, from the second picture, I thought this had shredded carrots in it (I obviously didn’t read the title of your blog post too carefully). Cheddar is much better than carrots…although that might be an interesting twist on cornbread! This look delish–perfect to go with pulled pork.
I have that book sititng on my bookshelf but haven’t read it. Is it good?
Krystina (Organically Me)
May 19, 2011 at 6:17 amI LOVE me some cornbread. Fantastic.

May 19, 2011 at 6:31 amYes, cornbread goes with ANYTHING!
Ricki
May 19, 2011 at 6:31 amHaha! My friends and I have the same type of “book club.” Maybe I will take some of this cornbread next time. It looks yummy!
Lori
May 19, 2011 at 6:41 amWhen does the cheese go in?
Melissa @ Journey to Marvelous
May 19, 2011 at 7:21 amLooks delicious!!
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food
May 19, 2011 at 7:31 amcheddar in cornbread is sooo necessary. I also love to some fresh cut corn right off the cob and drizzle a hot piece with honey. mmm mmmm!
It’s so lovely that you have a ladies night. I really need to get some more lady time into my life. I’m apparently already an old married lady at 28! 😛
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen
May 19, 2011 at 7:35 amLoveee cornbread – never had it with honey though…gotta get on that.
Natalia - a side of simple
May 19, 2011 at 7:52 amAh! I absolutely LOVE the book Captivating! Right now I’m in the middle of Wild at Heart and enjoying it so much. Wish I could really be a party of your dinner party. I’ll just have to pretend I’m there as I drink some wine and read my book 🙂
Just a quick note, when I go to leave a comment on your page the Name, Email, and Website information is already filled out with someone else’s information. This keeps happening and I think it’s happening with others, too, from some of the comments I’ve read. It’s only happening on your page 🙁
Liz @ Tip Top Shape
May 19, 2011 at 8:05 amAaww, that’s so cute that you have a supper club!!! Such a fun idea! I think I might copy and start my own!
Kimberly
May 19, 2011 at 8:05 amI love your comment on regretting that you gave the leftovers away. I am still regretting my gift of homemade cheesecake to my highschool boyfriend for his birthday. I had one slice, and it was the best cheesecake I had ever baked/tasted!
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga)
May 19, 2011 at 8:07 amThe cornbread looks awesome, and even better with honey. I LOVE honey! And it looks like you scored some local (to you at the time) Savannah honey. Oh, I bet it’s divine!
Great eats, Jenna 🙂
Molly @ RDexposed
May 19, 2011 at 8:14 amI may be counting down the days now till winter when this will be perfect with chili!
Erin
May 19, 2011 at 8:21 amI wish I could get my friends to do something like that! I used to do something similar in undergrad with a couple friends, but apparently in the real world it’s harder to pin people down.
Andrea @ The Skinny Chronicles
May 19, 2011 at 8:31 amI love groups of friends that get together regularly–knitting club, book club, cooking club, whatever. I’d join ’em all if I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere. Nothing better. Corn bread looks good too.
Melanie
May 19, 2011 at 8:38 amThat sounds like so much fun! Friends, a potluck, a book… I need to do this too!
nichole (eat & be pretty)
May 19, 2011 at 9:07 amI’m always on the lookout for a good cornbread recipe that doesn’t turn out too dry or bland. I’ll have to give this one a shot! BTW I have that honey from Savannah Bee Company! Lovee it. I love going in there and sampling all 20 of their different flavors of honey like a little child 🙂
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf
May 19, 2011 at 9:07 am1) I LOVE Captivating!!!!! One of my very, very favorite books!!!!
2) That’s basically kinda sorta what I do on Saturday nights! I cook dinner for a group of friends and we get together at my house and… fellowship. 😉

May 19, 2011 at 9:25 amoh i wanna join this supper club!! your recipe looks delish 😉
Moni'sMeals
May 19, 2011 at 9:34 amThis is fantastic…who want just plain ol cornbread! NOT me. 😉
BTW~
I loved your last post! way to call it like you see it. I think you are great no matter what you post, I am always interested. 🙂
Veronica (Run Write Repeat)
May 19, 2011 at 9:53 ami read Captivating once and hated it. Read it again with a friend and did the workbook, and I got A LOT more out of it. I think the discussions with friends really help with this book.
SOOO making this cornbread! Thanks!
Katie @ cooklaughmove
May 19, 2011 at 10:28 amCaptivating is such a great book!!
Carrie
May 19, 2011 at 11:00 amWhoa – I’m so shocked a southern girl eats her cornbread sweet. Didn’t your momma ever tell you that’s what we southerners call yankee cornbread!?!? No sugar or honey allowed. Just kidding. Um, not really. 🙂
Greta
May 19, 2011 at 11:11 amOhh My Gosh. Already starting to drool over this recipe. I love the addition of honey! Did the chilis make it spicey at all? Or did they just add to the savory-ness?
Molly
May 19, 2011 at 12:56 pmI have that honey and it’s best honey ever. I got it at the Savannah Bee store in Savannah on vacation. I think it might be one of the most memorable part of the trip. Sounds perfect with your cornbread recipe!
Emma (Namaste Everyday)
May 19, 2011 at 1:20 pmholy moly I must try these! I can only slightly imagine the bliss that will ensue!
Kelly
May 19, 2011 at 2:32 pmSold. This looks amazing! Cornbread and honey are awesome! Although my husband thought that was a weird combination (the horror) How he grew up in South and thought that was odd is stil baffling to me.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
May 19, 2011 at 4:23 pmCornbread + honey are a match made in heaven! Mmm! 🙂

May 19, 2011 at 7:07 pmAnna just licked the last drop of Tupelo honey from Savannah Bee Co. with a bagel! So glad you have a good group of friends! And cornbread made with butter and buttermilk? Oh, goodness. Who can resist! 🙂
Annie-Rose
May 19, 2011 at 10:17 pmMmmmmm dying for some right now! I have a pot luck style dinner club with 10 other girls as well and it’s so much fun! 🙂
jenna k
May 20, 2011 at 4:03 amyou forgot the most important part of cornbread (well, besides the butter!)- heating the pan up before you pour the batter in. 🙂
this looks tasty! i’m all for putting cheese in everything possible.
Rachel Wilkerson
May 20, 2011 at 9:47 amI just bought that winter white honey on vacation in Savannah last week and have been wondering what to put it on…I think this is a sign!
Anne
May 20, 2011 at 10:15 amI love cornbread! You’re right – to make cornbread even more incredible, just add honey (especially raw honey). Mmm, this is making me want some cornbread right about now!
Mellie
May 20, 2011 at 3:52 pmI don’t like sweet cornbread, but I love the idea of adding chiles and cheese.
Adrianna from A Cozy Kitchen
May 20, 2011 at 8:54 pmBest part of summer is cornbread. Love the addition of cheddar and chilies. And I, too, love cornbread thats a little sweet!
Cindy
May 21, 2011 at 9:28 amMan…why didn’t this potluck Tuesday start when I was still in SR? haha Yum this cornbread recipe sounds delicious! I’ll have to try it out soon.

I tried your turkey chili recipe and cornbread a couple weeks ago and i’ve made it three times already. My stepsons already asked if it could be added to the weekly dish rotation!
An interesting twist yesterday, I used the “five chili bean” from Whole foods instead of canned beans and it worked wonders! Thank you!!!!

February 5, 2012 at 8:56 amI made this last night and followed the recipes as is. The best and most moist cornbread we ever had.
Tarin
February 5, 2012 at 11:14 amI would make and eat a mudpie if the recipe called for green chiles. And cornbread?! Yes please. This was a super easy recipe to follow and the results came out great. I turned these into muffins (so that no one would judge the pan that was missing the few pieces in my tummy). I baked them for about 16 minutes. Next time I might try jalapenos for some heat!

February 5, 2012 at 12:29 pmLove these, but found them on the salty side.

January 3, 2013 at 6:11 pmThis was good – I substituted 4 chopped serrano chiles for the can. I’m not sure whether that would make it more or less spicy, but it turned out to be a good level for me anyway. The baking time was a little too long for me – it was done at 25 minutes. Good thing I checked! Thanks for a new yummy cornbread recipe!
