So I started with simple ingredients that I use in my original recipe, but swapped the regular milk for almond milk....
Origins of Cornbread Cornbread is a hotly debated topic and we don’t claim to be experts on its origin! But based on our research, it seems that the concept may have originated from a Native American dish called cornpone that was made with simple ingredients like cornmeal, water, and salt (source).

What is Iftar? Iftar is what Muslims eat to break their fast at sunset during the month of Ramadan. The word “iftar” does not imply a dinner or main dish, but a variety of snacks, fruit, and foods you could consider appetizers. That said, Iftar can be as simple as a date and a glass of water. Typically, the heavier the Iftar, the lighter the dinner. Many families (around 40-50% from an Instagram poll), combine Iftar and dinner into one meal....
