This One-pot Cornbread is an easy and wholesome meal! I take my favorite cornbread recipe…and then add a bunch of goodies from different food groups to make it a complete meal…black beans for protein, red bells, zuchinni, corn, cilantro, jalapenos and tomatoes for my veggies and cheese for my dairy :)….I just add all the extras to the batter and then bake it like normal…and it turns out de-lish!
This cornbread is great for picnics, travel days, and days when you want to have something ready beforehand so that you can come home to meal that’s already cooked. It pairs great with salad, soup or by itself…and tastes great toasted the day after for breakfast or lunch :).

YOGIC COOKING NOTES
- Add 1 tsp ground jalapeno to enkindle your agni (your digestion fire) and help you with your digestion.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric to the batter for a vibrant yellow color, as well as to help with digestion and balancing of blood sugar. Turmeric is an amazing spice that has a tremendous amount of medicinal healing properties to it. My motto is, the more turmeric you can get in your diet the better!
