I made this before discovering the site and had prepared only 3 bowls of chili and cornbread. I had baked for 20 minutes so you may want to check the cornbread after 10 or 15 minutes for 4 portions. 1/3 of this recipe is almost 100 calories more than is recommended on the Flat Belly Diet for a woman of average height.
