Too much of any one thing…even if it’s your favorite…can ruin a dish! ~Bertha
Once upon a time…when Mama was a young girl…she wanted to make cornbread…Granny told her how to make it…including how much baking soda to put in…but…Mama…being…Mama…and…a child…thought that there was no way that tiny amount of soda would be enough…besides…if a little bit was good…more was better…so…she added more…a lot more…
The result…green cornbread…that was barely edible…well honestly…it probably wasn’t edible…but she has always been grateful for a guest in their home who actually ate it that night and didn’t complain or make fun of her…
Now…just let me say for the record…Mama makes the best cornbread around now…never green…not even on St. Patrick’s Day…
But…Bertha…says it proves her point completely…recipes…like lives…need to be balanced…she reminds me that…I need to play…but not all the time…I need to sleep…but not all the time…I need to work…but not all the time…I need to clean house…well…you get the point…
Of course…Bertha…says finding that balance is part of living my truth… knowing what I need…and in what amounts…and doing it…

Coaching with Jane Carroll and Bertha can help you find that balance in your life…and maybe give you the secret of how much baking soda to use in your cornbread. Click Here for More Information
But MORE slices of good hot cornbread is always better!
Of course…and with butter…even better!!!! Yummo!
I love this comparison of recipes to life, with both requiring balance. Too much salt can throw off even the best chef!
Thanks Christy…and you are so right about the salt…which makes me think of a funny story about my grandparents…another blog perhaps. 😉
