Cornbread and Haluski - Pittsburgh Staple

Cornbread and Haluski - Pittsburgh Staple

Submitted by Desarae

I wanted to make my first meal for this challenge something extremely affordable and accessible in my community. Something delicious, easy and close to home. As soon as I saw my list, I immediately knew I would be using the cabbage and onions for a version of the classic Pittsburgh style Haluski. 
I wasn't given noodles in my package so I opted for a carbohydrate that relies on minimal pantry essentials and also makes you feel right at home. So I went with cornbread.

I found my recipe for the cornbread on the food52 blog and I can say, it was absolutely delicious! So moist and the perfect balance between sweet and salty. My family didn't notice a difference from my normal recipe. And the best part - it can easily be made vegan by using almond or soy milk!!
