    Good
    It's ok, I would recommend using corn flour or Mesa instead of corn meal to get a less gritty texture. I would also bake it for less, I did the full 70 minutes and it was a little over baked. But that said it tasts good and is pretty easy to make and is a nice healthy treat when dieting! - 7/3/12

    This didn't make as much as I first imagined. I only got one loaf from it. And the carb count was pretty high. It has a good flavor though and easy to prepare - 9/12/11
