"This Week's Menu (Nov. 26th - Nov. 30th) and a Simple Sour Cream ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 12:06:32

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I can't believe that November is almost over! I hope the holiday was relaxing for you and you enjoyed the food and the company you were with! I love holidays and I love the anticipation that builds up weeks before. It seems like for several weeks before Thanksgiving my adrenaline just runs on the wonderful anticipation of the joy that big day brings!I also love the downtime after the holiday. The time when my body slowly adjusts back to "life as normal" which seems miraculously quiet and uneventful. The time I can indulge in a good book or two and not feel guilty about it. The time when cleaning the bathroom can wait while you and your better half snuggle under warm blankets on the couch with a good movie. I haven't always found joy in the "everyday-ness" of life. But this week I choose too! I hope you will too. Natalie at is hosting this. The ingredient of the week is ginger! As you already know.. ginger is one of !! Now. I will have a good excuse to add ginger to several of the meals I'll be making this week! Thanks Nat! This Week's MenuMondayWild Rice and (Leftover) Turkey CasseroleBroccoli with Cheesy Mustard Sauce TuesdaySimple Baked Potatoes with Carol's ChiliMixed SaladWednesdayMichael's Favorite with BeefFried Brown RiceThursdayGypsy Sweet Potato SoupToasted GF Cheese BreadFridayGreen Beans with AlmondsMashed Sweet PotatoesBaked GoodiesEric B's Preacher CookiesSpicy Ginger Lemon Shortbread Since I was traveling at Thanksgiving I decided that for several of my recipes I would go ahead and place all the dry ingredients in zip lock bags. That way all I would have to do at Grandma's was add the wet ingredients and bake. This worked really well. It worked so well that I forgot about some of the items I was going to make!Last night I prepared a simple ground beef and fresh vegetable soup for dinner. At the last minute. I remembered I had a zip-lock bag of dry ingredients for Sour Cream Cornbread. I thought it would be a perfect accompaniment to the soup!Michael (who normally is very portion-conscious) ate four. YES four pieces of this awesome corn bread! This recipe was so easy to prepare since I had already packaged the dry ingredients that I think in the future I will do this on a regular basis. I also think this would be a GREAT gift for any gluten-free friends you have! Pre-package the dry ingredients of a favorite recipe place it in layers in a pretty jar and add the recipe as a label. I love fast easy gift ideas! Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease an oven-safe skillet (my worked wonderfully!) with butter or GF baking spray. In a medium-sized bowl mix together flours cornmeal xanthan gum salt and baking powder. In another medium-sized bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs sour cream and milk. Mix thoroughly. Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients. Pour into greased oven safe skillet or muffin tin (will probably make around 10-12 muffins). Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. This makes a very light moist and fluffy cornbread!!For a printer friendly version of this recipe click. Hi thanks for your comments on my blog. I have a question about your cornbread. I've only ever had cornbread once which I made recently from a recipe off the net. The main thing that hit me was it was sweeter than most cakes I make. We don't have many sweet savoury dishes over here in the UK so it's a bit of a culture shock. How sweet is your recipe? Are all cornbreads sweet? Hi Esther! Thank you for commenting! To answer your question: NO not all cornbreads are sweet! I live in North Carolina which is considered a southern state in the US and we like things sweet! YOU CAN make this cornbread without the sugar if you prefer a non-sweet cornbread! I've always eaten it sweet so that is what I prefer! But I would love to hear how it turned out for you if you decide to make this without the sugar! I think it would still be tasty!I think the reason "southerners"make cornbread sweet is to balance out the "savory-ness" of the main dish. I know the soup I made last night was very savory not sweet at all so the sweet cornbread was a nice addition to the meal! Of course this may be the reason "southerner's" such as myself have such a hard time losing weight!! ;-) Tamara! You can try this recipe with whatever milk substitute you have!! ANY should work! And instead of using sour cream or yogurt use a soy based yogurt or a rice or almond yogurt! IF you try it with those things. I'll try it with those alternatives and see how it works! We can compare our results! I think it would work out great with soy milk or a nut or rice milk and a soy based yogurt product! Yummy! Yes. I use corn tortillas but I use the sprouted grain tortillas and a bottled gf/additive free enchilada red sauce plus plain fat free yogurt for the sauce. I also add pepper jack cheese and chopped onions. Rather than roll them since the sprouted tortillas get soggy when wet. I just layer it in a casserole dish. It tastes the same. Thanks for visiting miller manor today!TM Ornery's Wife -- do the sprouted grains bother you? I know they technically still contain gluten if they are sprouted spelt or wheat... What kind do you use? This is a great enchilada recipe! i get tired of the taste of corn tortillas so I'm interested in trying the sprouted grain tortillas!! Thanks so much for letting me know how you make them! Tamara -- Actually I'm just guessing on the rice yogurt. I KNOW they make soy based yogurt -- (there are several brands at the Food Lion I shop at!) and I'm just guessing that maybe there is a rice based yogurt but I'm not totally sure about that! That's funny; in Georgia people who have lived here a long time say. "Real Southern cornbread is NOT SWEET--only Jiffy is!" My grandfather's cornbread (his family having been in GA since the 1700s) was definitely a savory crackling cornbread. (It may be a state-by-state thing.) But I love sweet cornbread and usually prefer it with savory dishes. Esther with some honey and butter sweet cornbread can make a nice little dessert!I too just made cornbread but mine has no eggs. If I could eat eggs. I'd definitely give yours a go! Sally -- You are right! It probably does vary from region to region/ state to state! Here in eastern NC the only kind of non-sweet cornbread they have are cornsticks or hoecakes. Cornsticks are long thin molded deep fried sticks of basically cornmeal and water served mostly with pork barbecue. Hoecakes which my mom-in-law lovingly makes for me are pats of cornmeal dough flattened and cooked on the stovetop not really fried just sort of "baked" on the stovetop in an iron skillet. Yum! I don't have to tell you how much I like cornbread! And my grandmother always put sour cream in hers too. (I have a recipe for it on my blog.) YUM. And cast-iron skillets rock. And actually. I don't like sweet cornbread all that much. I didn't grow up eating it that way and I'm from N. C. too! I think it all depends on your family's traditions. Esther -- I had no idea this would turn into such an interesting cornbread conversation! Creamed corn is corn that has been partially pureed which releases the liquid content of the kernals (according to wikipedia!)many people add sugar and starch and even cream to it as well. In the US you can buy canned creamed corn in the vegetable aisle at many grocery stores. Carrie. Sunday night I made your corn pudding and the cranberry cobbler and they were both big hits. My very picky gluten free daughter loved the corn pudding. She wasn't going to try it but I put some on her plate anyway. She loved it and ate it again on Monday night! The cranberries went very quickly and were so easy to make. I think my husband ate half of it at one sitting! GLUTI GIRL -- You have NO idea how awesome that is to me! I'm so glad you and your family tried the recipes and you liked them!! That's so cool!!! I LLLLOOOOVVVEEEE that cranberry cobbler AND the corn pudding is such a old-fashioned yummy dish! I just love it! Thank you SO much for letting me know how much you liked it!! Here's another Southerner chiming in.. cornbread should not be sweet!!! But it definitely should be made in the oldest cast iron skillet you can find =) Crumble a wedge into a glass of milk and you have a lovely dessert. Carrie. I've been taking it easy and reading a few books too. It's so nice to just sit and read an entire book in one sitting and ignore the laundry and incredibly messy kitchen =) Mary Frances -- LOL... I guess I'm one of the FEW???? southern folks who LIKES my cornbread sweet?? Where's Ginger at.. I know Ginger must be with me on the sweet cornbread! If you're reading Ginger you've gotta speak up for me gal! Well it just goes to show Abby's point! Everybody's family likes it differently! I was raised on the homemade sweet stuff! I didn't even know what "Jiffy" was until I was in college! Sweet or not it's good stuff! Another vote here for sweet cornbread! I love sweet cornbread. I am originally from the piedmont area of North Carolina and that is all I ate growing up. Although I have to confess it was MAINLY Jiffy and I still like Jiffy today. (or I would if I could eat it) :-) Carrie - I will have to try your recipe. When I tried making cornbread it just didn't have much flavor. I like the sweet kind too (and I'm from the north!)My boss on the other hand grew up here in TN and swears by HIS recipes which is not sweet but has shortening and buttermilk in it. Maybe I'll try making both at some point and posting a comparison. Karen -- I was really impressed with this recipe. It was So light and fluffy (a true compliment on a GF baked good as you know!) and MOIST! This will definitely become a staple in our house!I think you're right! You should do a sweet vs non-sweet comparison of cornbreads and post it on your site! That would be an awesome post girl! NO SUGAR IN CORNBREAD. Sorry dear Carrie. I wouldn't even use sorgham flour either since it's too sweet. Southern cornbread is not sweet. Esther go to my blog (gfingf blogspot com) for an UNsweet cornbread (and post) and try it a different way. No worries. Carrie. I still love ya! . and P. S. Jiffy is not cornbread. :-) Jiffy is a corn cupcake mix. (and I did used to eat that in one incarnation pre GF -- on my corned beef and cabbage casserole). You're right. Carrie this is really a hot button issue here today! Tamara we're on our own girl! I'm so sad all these other southern gals don't like sweet cornbread!! ;-) Ginger -- LOL you are funny.. well All the SOUTHERN cornbread I have eaten here in eastern NC has always been sweet! It's amazing what a variation it is among families and the different states! Ginger -- Well. I still enjoyed Jiffy and I have always liked sweet cornbread (AND I like unsweet versions too like hoecakes and cornsticks) but sweet will always be my favorite and I don't consider it a cupcake! (There's not THAT much sugar in it!) Esther -- I think it's really up to you gal.. if you enjoy non-sweet breads simply try this recipe without the sugar if you like sweet cornbread try it with the sugar. Apparently it's not just a "southern" thing as I thought it was. Basically it's up to your tastebuds. If you like sweet than you'll like it if you don't.. than you won't! And I think that's all we need to say about that! Carrie - I have another vote for sweet cornbread here! My husband is also from NC and he is a strong supporter of sweet cornbread. I would not say that Jiffy is sweet like a cupcake though. More like banana bread or some other breakfast treat. Not sweet as dessert. I don't like an overly sweet cornbread either. I guess all our tastebuds are different! carrie - this was really yummy! I made it last night and it turned out great - almost as good as Jiffy! lol! (okay maybe even better than Jiffy.) After all the discussion. I thought it was going to taste really sweet but it didn't - it just tasted like normal corn bread to me. I guess I'm used to the sweet stuff. Thanks again for the recipe! KAREN!! You rock chic! I'm SO glad you and your hubby liked this! I didn't think it was THAT sweet either!! (HEY! It's better than Jiffy! LOL) But seriously. I appreciate you trying it and I'm glad you liked it so much! Thank you!!! OK so I'm not a Southerner (a New Mexican by birth) but I love my cornbread sweet. With whole kernels of corn in it. I actually made an amazing cornbread this week (that I still need to post about) that had both white and brown sugar in it. It was sweet and delicious!! I really need to make this recipe with some goat yogurt in lieu of sour cream and a milk alternative in it. As for the chili with chocolate--you don't go. "Wow that's chocolatey" when you eat it but you do note that it has a richer deeper slightly sweet flavor. You should try it out! Kelly! Isn't that cool! To be honest with you I've used applesauce in a pinch too!! I just LOVE how well it works in things like this! And this is a great tip for making the cornbread casein free as well! Thanks for letting me know it worked so well!!

The study also showed that "Fifty-seven percent of all adults believe it gave them important religious knowledge; 50 percent accept it helped them change spiritually; 47 percent feel it helped them prepare for life as an adult; and 44 percent say it deepened their spiritual faith." Although there is an alarming trend toward less children attending perform services than in the past the study confirms that the vast majority of Americans have attended religious worship services regularly at some point in their lives.
