Thank you for sharing!

(Inside: This is insane. I am in love with this Mexican Cornbread Skillet. How did I not know that this existed?! It’s magic in a pan and my mom just told me how to make it and…HOW DID SHE NOT MAKE THIS MY WHOLE LIFE?! She is evil.)

Don’t you just love a parent that hides recipes from you your whole life?

Yeah, me too.

Particularly when they’re deliciously brilliant recipes.

Like Mexican Cornbread Skillet.

Yeah. Not only particularly tasty, but also ridiculously easy to make.

Gotta love a parent who hid that recipe from you.

She’s defended her actions with a “well, I’d forgotten it, “and “how was I to know you were going to love it so much?!”

But we all know she was intentionally keeping all the Mexican Cornbread Skillet for herself all this time.

She was probably making batch after batch, then hiding it to eat after I went to bed–you know, when I was like five.

Yeah, you probably don’t think that’s the truth, but I’m the only one that knows that woman.

Eeeevil mom. Heh.
