Have I mentioned that I puffy heart cast iron skillets? My cast iron skillet is quickly becoming my go to cooking skillet. I’m sorry, stainless steel. I’ve found another one to love. We’re going to have to part ways. I hope you understand.
My love affair with cast iron started a couple years ago after I made this Cast Iron Buttermilk Corn Bread. Best cornbread ever, yo. After that, I became a little obsessed. I made this Cajun Shrimp and Quinoa Casserole that will make you shout from rooftops. Can’t forget dessert. I also made this healthy Blueberry Peach Coconut Crisp that won’t make you hate yourself for eating it.
