Cornbread Recipe:
So, I tweaked (a lot) the cornbread recipe in HH
Here’s the recipe for the bread pictured above:
1 c cornmeal
.5 c corn flour
.25 c whole wheat pastry flour
.25 c whole grain rye flour
1T baking powder
.5 t salt
1 c Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (Trader Joe’s) w/1 tsp lemon juice
.25 c butternut squash puree
.25 c maple syrup
Raw sugar for the top.
Instructions:
Mix the dry in one bowl, mix the wet in another bowl (make sure you mix the milk and juice ahead of time and let sit for a couple of minutes). Mix it all together - but not too much, if you beat your batter too much, you’re gonna get a brick. No brick! Anyways, put in a pie dish (or anything else you want) and put in a 400degree F oven for 20 min.
The end. Yum!
Farmer Market Saturday - yay!
My son and I walked to the local FM today. A mommy note: I am happy that he still grabs for my hand when we take walks. I know precious moments like these won’t happen much longer. Anyways, it was a gorgeous day. The hills are still green and the weather is perfect. We bought lots at the market: carrots, kale, green onions, strawberries, spinach and lettuce. I handed my son a bag to carry (he is very helpful) and I asked him, “oh, what did I give you, what’s in you bag?” He looked down into the bag, “kale.” Lol - Yep, you know your raising a healthy herbivore when he can recognize kale by sight.
My brother, who has been eating more vegetarian fare lately, messaged this pic to me of his dinner: vegetarian chili w/ polenta rounds, and veggies. Go brother!
Dinner!
