We have all been there.  At a fancy party where there is nothing you can eat and everyone is RAVING about a certain dish.  This was one of those dishes.

I can see why everyone loved it.  It is very indulgent and makes boring old cornbread something to celebrate.

Of course my favorite thing to serve it with is Quinoa Black Bean Soup topped with copious amounts of cilantro.
