I can honestly say that my husband came up with this recipe for cornbread on his own. It is so good and it has become a new family favorite. The kids will eat this on its own...like they're eating a cookie.
What you'll need:
*2 cups all-purpose flour
*2 cups cornmeal
*2/3 cup sugar
*2/3 cup brown sugar
*2 tsp. salt
*7 tsp. baking powder
*2 eggs
*2 cups milk
*2/3 cup canola oil (or veg oil...whichever you have)
What you do:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
2. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix really well.
3. Pour batter into a well-greased and floured 9x13 baking dish.
4. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.

Homemade Corn Tortillas
I actually got this recipe off my bag of Masa de Maiz (Corn Masa Flour). These are pretty darn tasty.
What you need:
*2 cups instant corn masa flour
*1/4 tsp. salt
*1 3/4 cups warm water
(This amount will make approximately 16 corn tortillas)
What you do:
1. Combine the masa, salt, and warm water in a bowl and mix with your hands. Add extra water by the Tbsp. to reach a soft dough (mashed potato consistency). Mix for about 4 minutes. Allow masa to sit for 10 minutes.
2. Cut 2 squares of wax paper for each tortilla being prepared. Form masa into 2 Tbsp. size balls. Place a sheet of wax paper on both sides of the masa ball and place in a tortilla press. Lightly press the tortilla to the desired thickness; set aside with the wax paper. Finish making the rest of the tortillas in the same manner.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet, ungreased griddle or comal over high heat for about 3 minutes. Remove the wax paper from the tortilla and cook for 1 minute per side. Store in a tortilla warmer (if you have one) or a gallon size Ziploc bag.

Homemade Flour Tortillas
This is a really easy recipe for flour tortillas. It took me a few times to get the tortillas rolled into a shape reminiscent of circles, but it honestly doesn't matter what they look like...they will still taste fabulous!
What you need:
*4 cups all-purpose flour
*1 tsp. salt
*2 tsps. baking powder
*2 Tbsps. lard (Crisco...actual LARD)
*1 1/2 cups water
What you do:
1. Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet and cook until bubbly and golden (about 30 seconds); flip and continue cooking on the other side (about 20 seconds). Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer (if you have one) or a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.

Cranberry Muffins
I'm not quite sure who to give the credit for these delicious muffins. I found this recipe in a McGhie Family Cookbook...which was given to us by my mother-in-law's 4th ex-husband. There are many names listed at the beginning of the book as contributors, but no names for each individual recipe.
These muffins are fabulous...if you love cranberries and pecans, which I do!
