Mom's Holiday Cornbread

Mom's Holiday Cornbread

This is my mother's signature cornbread recipe, which she always doubles to prepare her famous holiday cornbread dressing. Just take a look at this beautifully baked pan of cornbread—isn't it a sight to behold?

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of self-rising corn meal mix

  • 1 3/4 cups of milk, you can use, just water, buttermilk, or any type of non-dairy milk

  • 1/4 cups of oil


Notes: To make self-rising cornmeal mix, add 1 cup of cornmeal to 1 cup of self-rising flour. Stir well.


Mom always doubles the recipe to make a big pan of cornbread for her Thanksgiving dressing.


You can also add eggs to your cornbread batter if you desire.

Instructions:

First, grease an 8x8 square pan, unless you're doubling the recipe. If you're doubling it, use a 9x13 pan. You can also use a non-stick pan or parchment paper if you don't want to grease it.


In a bowl, mix together the self-rising cornmeal mix, milk, and 1/4 cup of oil. Stir until just combined; don't overmix.


Pop it in a 400-degree oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Enjoy!

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out There's one lady on this earth (besides mom) that I have always simply adored; Martha Stewart.

While some people may think that is too long to ...

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
