Cornbread Recipe

I’ve been making this cornbread recipe for the past few months and people seem to LOVE it! So here it is for you to try out yourself.

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk (Soy milk also works)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 can corn niblets (about 1 cup)

Directions

1. Combine the milk and cornmeal in a bowl. Stir it up and let it soak for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan.
3. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir in egg, milk, vegetable oil, corn niblets, cornmeal and milk mixture until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean.
5. Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes and then flip it onto a cooling rack.

Souvlaki Recipe – Tyler & Maisie Approved!

A few people have requested this recipe so I figured I would toss it up for everyone to try out.

Ingredients:

8-10 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp salt (Kosher if you have it)
2 tsp pepper
1 cup vegetable oil (You can use part olive oil, but it’ll harden in the fridge. You’ll need to let it warm up before BBQing)
2 lemons juiced
5 chicken breasts (or 2 lbs of whatever meat you want) cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup oregano
2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Optional : We like to throw a few veggies chopped into bite size chunks into the container to marinade as well so that they’re super yummy as well. 1 each of an onion, red and green peppers.

Directions:

Chop the chicken and veggies into 1 inch pieces and toss them into a large sealable container or at least something that you can plastic wrap tightly cause you’re going to be shaking this mixture up.

Toss the rest of the ingredients into the container with the chicken, seal it up and give it a shake.

Place the sealed container in the fridge and toss and shake it every few hours letting it marinate for at least 8 hours, though overnight is best.

When you can’t handle the wait anymore, skewer them up and pop them on the BBQ med-high heat 2.5 minutes a side (or until they appear done). Watch for flare-ups in the beginning as the marinade drips off of the chicken. The smoke just adds flavor.

Good luck!
