It's not secret that I love to bake. In fact, I'm sure I can only attempt to make every version of banana muffins or quick bread before I (finally) run out of ideas. Luckily, today I was craving something totally different in baked form...
Cornbread.
I don't know where the craving came from. I had tofu and falafel on the menu for dinner tonight, and obviously the first thing you think of as an accompaniment is delicious, fluffy cornbread. Right??
No matter, I found an outstanding recipe on Daily Garnish for White Cheddar Yogurt Cornbread. With a few tweaks (hello goat cheese, parmesan, and nutritional yeast!) I give you...

Delicious cornbread made fluffy with greek yogurt, hints of parmesan,
