This is my go to recipe for cornbread.
I box Jiffy cornbread mix
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
8 oz (1/2 can) sweet canned corn
1/3 cup sugar (or less)
Optional – canned sliced jalepenos, diced
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease 8 inch pan, muffin pan, mini muffin pan.
Blend egg, milk, and cornbread mix. Add corn and sugar (and jalepenos if using). Pour cornbread mixture into greased pan.
Bake until golden brown 10 minutes for mini muffins, 15-20 minutes for muffins, 20 – 25 minutes for cornbread pan.
Enjoy!
Truly one of my all time favorite meals hands down. The homemade dough makes a world of difference and takes very little time to make. The kids love making their own versions of pizza and I appreciate the help in the kitchen. Best part is everyone ends up happy.
I use two different pizza dough recipes depending on how much lead time I have. My first choice is to make the dough in the morning and throw it in the refrigerator.
Slow-Rise Pizza Dough
Recipe by Mel’s Kitchen
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 1/3 cup water (cold)
3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix and place in a greased bowl covered in the refrigerator.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator a few hours before you make the pizza. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. (If using a pizza stone, let stone heat for at least 30 minutes in the oven before baking pizza.)
I cut dough into 4-5 balls then I place each one on parchment paper. Everyone makes their individual pizzas. I use a pizza paddle to transfer the pizza with the parchment paper to the oven. I use a preheated pizza stone. Slide pizza onto stone and bake for about 8 minutes.
If baking in a sheet pan, press dough onto sheet pan and top with sauce and toppings. Bake for about 12 minutes (checking often) until crust is browned and cheese is golden and bubbly.
If I don’t have time or forget to plan ahead, don’t worry. Here is a great quick and easy recipe.
Fast and Easy Pizza Dough
Recipe by Mel’s Kitchen
3 cups flour, more or less
1 tablespoon honey, heaping
1 tablespoon oil, heaping
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. (If using a pizza stone, let stone heat for at least 30 minutes in the oven before baking pizza.) Mix all pizza dough ingredients together, except the flour. Add flour and knead for a bit then put into pan (or use a pizza peel and pizza stone). If baking in a sheet pan, bake for about 12 minutes (checking often) until crust is browned and cheese is golden and bubbly. If baking on the preheated pizza stone, slide pizza onto stone and bake for about 8 minutes.
Enjoy!
This is one of our quick weeknight meals. I serve it up with a salad and garlic bread. Everyone loves it.
