Double Corn Spoon Bread

The other evening, we were having friends over for dinner.

I wanted to make bread to serve with dinner.

But we were having corn as a veggie and I didn't think we needed bread and corn.

Oh, don't get confused . . . I didn't say we didn't want bread and corn . . .

just that we didn't need both!

I thought just a moment and decided I would combine the bread and corn and make a spoon bread.

Now, in case you're wondering what "spoon bread" is, I'll tell you.

"Spoon bread" is a Southern dish and could be considered a savory pudding.

But spoon bread isn't "smooth" like a dessert pudding, as it is usually made with cornmeal.

So, with the idea to combine the want of bread and the need of a veggie, we had spoon bread with our grilled chicken dinner.

It was so yummy! The cherubs really liked it and the girl cherub went back for seconds.

Which is unheard of for her!

Double Corn Spoon Bread

1 15oz can corn, drained
1 15 oz can cream corn
1 7oz-8.5 oz package cornbread mix**
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup shredded cheese (or more if you'd like it)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For a "thin" spoon bread, spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray.
For a "thick" spoon bread, spray a 2 quart pan with cooking spray. I wanted a "thick" spoon bread.

In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Pour into your desired size pan and place in the oven.

Bake for 35-45 minutes for a 9X13 pan, or until set in the middle and golden on the top.

If using a 2 quart casserole dish, bake for 5--60 minutes, or until set in the middle and golden on top.

Serve warm.

**Martha White Gluten Free cornbread mix worked great. You can use Jiffy Cornbread mix if you can have gluten.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
