Jennifer Garner's 10-minute Thanksgiving cornbread recipe she can make in her 'sleep'

Jennifer Garner is definitely the hostess with the mostess. The 13 Going On 30 loves to welcome guests into her $7.4m home in Los Angeles and Thanksgiving is no exception.

While this holiday season will look a little different following the tragic death of her father, one thing will certainly be on the menu - her go-to cornbread recipe. The quick and easy side dish is a staple that brings the whole family together - and Jennifer previously revealed she's so good at making it that she could do it "in my sleep." 

Jennifer previously shared her recipe, which was passed down from her mother, and revealed she chats with Patricia throughout the baking process. 

On her Instagram page, the movie star previously wrote: "I call my mom every time I make cornbread — even though I’ve written the recipe in every notebook, even though I am sure I could toss it together in my sleep.

"Maybe watching this will show you why, perhaps, I just like to call my mom."

She added: "This cornbread takes no time at all, is incredibly forgiving, and is an every other day staple at my house: perfect to fill in a dinner, perfect for a snack, perfect for breakfast. Plus, it tastes like home. I hope you love it as much as I do."
