Southwestern Corn Bread

I found this recipe in a cookbook and lightened it up by using skim milk, less oil, egg whites and reduced-fat cheese. It's moist and mildly flavored with canned chilies. —Tena Edyvean of Rapid City, South Dakota

    Followed the recipe. Recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon off baking soda. I did not get a rise. Cornbread thick and heavy. Waste of ingredients. Most recipes for cornbread call for the of more teaspoons of baking powder.

    This was a great cornbread. It wasn't dry and I loved the addition of the green chilies and chopped up corn to give it some interesting texture. I will be keeping this recipe!
