Cornbread. This one beats all. Period.

What to say about this. It's good. But good is an understatement. More like heavenly, as far as bread goes. It's buttery, sweet, dense and just plain addicting. So let's get to the good stuff, shall we?

JANELL'S BUTTERY CORN BREAD

2/3 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 2/3 c. milk
2 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. cornmeal
4 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Combine eggs and milk.
Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with the egg mixture.
Pour into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 22-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cut into squares; serve warm.

Peanut butter, bananas and chocolate: A powerful combo

As good as they are for you, drinks made with protein powder often taste kind of funky. The other ingredients in this protein shake cover up the off taste of the powder. This shake is great to have at the end of a workout. It's packed with protein - 40 grams, if you use milk - for muscle recovery, as well as a multitude of vitamins and minerals to keep your body functioning at its highest level. And the best part? It tastes exactly like a chocolate milkshake.
