JALAPENO ZUCCHINI CORNBREAD
This is a versatile recipe. With its totally green color (from the zucchini), you'll want to remember it on St. Patrick's Day. With its hint of sweetness, (from the honey), you'll want to serve it at breakfast. With its moistness (from the buttermilk and of course the zucchini) you'll enjoy slice after slice. And with its nip of heat (from the jalapenos) you'll want to make this over and over. The recipe comes from our local foodie, Jan D'Atri, who says the 2 jalapenos in the recipe are exactly the right amount. Nevertheless, you'll want to use your judgment!

- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
