Pancakes for dinner! Looks like, but no: these are cornbread cakes, sweet and fluffy and amazingly easy to make for the flavors they contain. And that's not Mrs. Butterworth offering sweet salutations in syrup form: that's a blueberry BBQ sauce that brings new flavor heights to the chicken. And that's not green beans!... Ok, ok, those are green beans. Guess you won't get fooled again. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
