Maple Syrup Corn Bread and Taco Soup...

Monday's are always busy days trying to get caught up from the weekend...With this in mind, I decided yesterday was a good day to put the crock pot to use and made my TACO SOUP that I posted about back in the fall.  To accompany the soup, I made...

Maple Syrup Corn Bread...

This is a very good corn bread recipe that is lower in fat (but you'd never know by tasting it).  A lot of the flavor comes from REAL maple syrup...which does tend to be a little pricey, but I don't make it that often and I think it's worth the splurge...
