Corn and Quinoa Cornbread, AKA Quinoa Cornbread

Hi. It's Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop. I first tried this recipe when visiting my daughter Erin several years ago. I absolutely loved it and have made it many times since then. When I take it to potluck suppers, everyone loves it, too.

 You can substitute Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour (1:1) for the wheat flour and it will be gluten free. I cannot remember where I got the original recipe from. I thought it might be a Moosewood recipe, but I haven't been able to find it in any of my cookbooks!
