Caregiver in Roseville CA
As a family caregiver for your elderly loved ones, time is often of the essence when it comes to handling everything in your schedule, and this includes preparing for your holiday feast. One way to
help you make the most of the time that you do have is to find ingredients that can do double or even triple duty in your meal. This lets you cut down on your preparation and feel confident in the consistent quality of what you serve your loved ones.
This recipe is for a delicious traditional cornbread that you can use for several different dishes in your Thanksgiving feast. Make up a few batches in the week leading up to the meal, freeze them, and then thaw them out the night before so that you are ready to add the bread into your dishes. It is also tasty and satisfying when served just as it is with butter alongside a bowl of chili or other weeknight meal, or cold with a drizzle of honey for breakfast.
