Give us this Day Our Daily Bread

The Lord's Prayer asks for our daily bread, representing our basic needs, including spirtual needs. The concept of bread and grain is central to the Bible, symbolizing life, provision and faith.

This cornbread recipe actually contains NO cornmeal, but almond meal. The additiion of cheese and cream cheese makes it creamy, and the addition of pickled jalapenos gives it a little kick.
