Last Saturday, my brother, Dick, joined us for dinner. We had Mass before he was scheduled to arrive so I decided to make Crockpot Meatloaf so it would be ready when we got home. I made a batch and a half because Rae had said she would make Meatloaf Sandwiches for dinner on Sunday.

Cornbread Cupcakes #BreadBakers
These cupcakes contain cornmeal along with the flour. They are not corn muffins as they are lighter and fluffier than a muffin would be. They do contain leavening and if you put them into a loaf pan you could call it sweet bread.
