MEXICAN CORN AND JALEPNO LOAF

There’s something familiar and comforting about a freshly baked loaf, whether it be sweet or savory. Mexican Corn and Jalapeno Loaf is no exception. Loaded with sweet corn, cheese, vibrant bell pepper, corn meal and with a little heat from slices of fresh jalapeno. I like to cut thick slices of it and slather them with butter; but it’s, equally as delish served with sliced avocado or guacamole.

Mexican Corn and Jalapeno Loaf

A loaf – part of the quick bread family, is easy to throw together requiring very in the way of cookery prowess. If you can stir, you can make a loaf whether it be sweet – such as this Raspberry Almond Lemon Drizzle Loaf , or savory, like this loaf. Hopefully you have most of these ingredients lurking in your pantry, fridge or freezer. If not send me a note and I will help you with any substitutions.

Mexican Corn and Jalapeno Loaf

If you want to serve this to the kids, simply omit the jalapeno peppers, depending on their heat tolerance. I’ve like spicy food since I was a child. I know I’m not alone. I’m sure there’s many parents out there whose kiddos also like a little heat in their food.

Mexican Corn and Jalapeno Loaf might not win any prizes in a beauty contest but it would win a prize or two for flavor. Equally as good toasted the next day, try dunking slices of it into Hearty Ham and Lentil Soup or serve as a side to Slow Cooker Green Chili Pork. The weather is slowly starting to warm here in central Indiana but there’s still a nip in the air mornings and nights. So, until such time I’m contemplating whether or not to turn the air con on, I’m happy to bake and ladle steaming hot soup into bowls to slurp. What’s everyone cooking while you’re stuck at home? I definitely think you need to try this loaf recipe. Let me know if you do. Toodles, Lovoni xo
