People have so many different preferences as to format (font, margins, etc.) that I'm hesitant to try preparing a book.

Thanks for reminding me! I haven't made that in much too long. I plan on polish sausage and cabbage for dinner, and yum yum yum it would go good with the cornbread casserole!

Heat your oven to about 350 degrees
  1. Spray a deep casserole dish
  2. Dump a box of Jiffy cornbread mix into the dish
  3. Dump in a cup of sour cream
  4. Stir in 2 eggs
  5. Dump in a can of creamed corn
  6. Dump in a DRAINED can of whole kernal corn
  7. Stir it all up and sort of smooth it down in the dish
  8. Pour a stick of melted butter over the mixture
  9. Bake about an hour, until it is a little brown on top and pulls away from the edges of the dish a little
I will be very moist but will firm up a bit as it cools.

That's the whole point of creating a book yourself - you can create it the way that YOU want it, not the way that someone else thinks is "right".
