With a cold rain falling outside, I decided it was the perfect time for some true comfort food.\u00a0 Immediately I thought of Kentucky spoon bread, a popular southern side dish that is between corn bread and a souffle.\u00a0 I looked up the recipe on line and found several variations – some simple and some not so much.\u00a0 For those of you who are unfamiliar with spoon bread, it is perfect served as a side with a big bowl of soup, great as a vessel for gravy or sauces, or can become a sweet with a drizzle of honey and butter.\u00a0 It is spooned out of the pan onto a plate, and you eat it with a fork or spoon and not your fingers.<\/h3>\n
