cornbread

By


i love cornbread.  i'm sure that's no surprise since i've already declared my love for all things bread and bread related.  i just can't eat chili without a good piece of cornbread with honey and butter.  i love this recipe and i've been using it a lot lately.  i used to buy the bag of dry cornbread mix and that tastes okay, but nothing beats scratch recipes!  this recipe doesn't take much longer to make and it's completely worth the extra minute or two!  it's deliciously moist and tender and squishes perfectly under your fork...i love squishing cornbread with my fork, do you?  Just make sure you warm your honey and drizzle over the top.  mmm...
recipe adapted slightly from melskitchencafe.com


½ cup + 2 Tbsp. cornmeal
1 ½ cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 ¼ cup milk
1/3 cup frozen white corn (thawed)

top with:
warmed honey
a pat of butter
(or mix the two together to make honey butter, whatever floats your cornbread boat.)

Mix dry ingredients.  Add oil, butter, eggs and milk and stir to blend.  Batter will be thin.  Add thawed corn and stir to blend.  Pour into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of cornbread comes out clean.

Lime Sugar Cookies (from America's Test Kitchen)

By
Once again, no picture yet. I'll post one when I get a chance. This is a great alternative to just the ordinary sugar cookie with frosting. I made the whole batch and froze half of it for later. The cookies taste great just out of the freezer! (makes about 2 dozen cookies) 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon grated lime zest 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 (additional) teaspoons grated lime zest Place oven rack in the middle and heat oven to 350 F. Process 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon grated lime zest until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Put this on a shallow dish for coating and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside. Beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, 3-6 minutes. Beat in vanilla and, then, the eggs and lime zest. Add eggs on...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

By
in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...

Marinara with butter and onion

By
did I tell you that I love butter? well, I do. (see here ) so when i came across this recipe on the smitten kitchen , i was in awe. although wisdom tells you that a good marinara sauce comes from hours of simmering vine ripened tomatoes in delicious spices and mouth watering aromatics, this recipe sort of defies that wisdom. it's three ingredients...that's it. while the quality of the tomatoes does add value to this sauce, it's also ok to substitute with the can of tomatoes you've got on hand. if that's san marzano tomatoes, it's going to be delicious, if it's just a can of hunts, it will still be fantastic (i don't recommend a store brand of tomatoes for this recipe, however). for me, it's the go to recipe when i'm swamped and cannot find time to spend in the kitchen. let me tell you something about myself. i'm a people pleaser. so i have a hard time saying no. "can you help coach knowledge bowl?" yes. "would you b...
