This Gluten Free Cornbread is moist and delicious

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus butter for baking dish
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup Gluten Free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease an 9-inch round baking pan.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold together until there are no dry spots (the batter will still be lumpy). Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

4. Bake until the top is golden brown and tester inserted into the middle of the corn bread comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes before serving.

by

If eating more vegetables is your goal, this one makes veggies a meal. Updated to a healthier, Mediterranean Style recipe, it’s both healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

1 wide eggplant
5 ounces shredded Kaseri Cheese or Caciocavallo or Mozzarella (used mozzarella)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan
Basil or pesto
Olive Oil
For the tomato sauce:
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 medium onion chopped
1 to 2 mushrooms chopped
2 to 4 cloves garlic minced
Salt/Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cut eggplant slices about 1/2 inch thick. Cutting the eggplant lengthwise works too.
2. Place eggplant slices in a colander, salt and let the eggplant sit for about an hour, this helps remove the excess moisture.
3. Prepare sauce by sautéing onion until translucent in 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add garlic and mushrooms and continue sautéing for another minute. Add the tomatoes and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven at 350 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).
5. Dust each side of eggplant slices with grated Parmesan.
6. Now either dry fry slices for about 6 minutes, or bake in preheated oven of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 Celsius) and and for 15-20 minutes.
7. Once your eggplant slices have been dry fried or baked begin assembling.
Brush a 13×9 pan with olive oil or you can spread tomato sauce. Place the eggplant, then basil or pesto, then tomato sauce,  and then cheese on each piece.
8. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, until eggplant is soft.
9. Serve.
