Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread

I fooled around with cornbread for many years and I never could get it just right. It was either too dry, too wet, lacking flavor, blah, blah, blah.

On the day I was over it, I made a 9-1-1 call to my cousin, Loretta, to ask for some much needed help. Loretta "don't make no bad food" - never, ever. She can do it all.

She kindly wrote out her recipe for me because, hmmm, those who really know how to cook "real food" normally don't need their own recipes written out. It just magically works for them every time.
