Side Items Recipes (Most Popular)
Really delicious way to get in your beans. The amount of chips and cream cheese can be lowered or raised, depending on if you're eating at home or making it for a potluck. It takes longer to preheat the oven than to mix everything together!
Plenty of protein and flavor, tasty hot or cold, good for a light dinner or as a side dish.
We love this cornbread with any kind of soup. If you have the calories to spare it's heaven on earth in my opinion to spread some honey butter over one of them.... MMMMM!
I do a lot of gluten-free baking as I have an intolerance; sometimes I prefer not to use yeast as well. This recipe, which I found in "125 Best Gluten-Free Recipes" by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt is quick and easy with no yeast. The bread is a tiny bit sweet as well, which makes it nice with chicken and turkey for sandwiches. I didn't add 1/3 cup sunflower seeds or 2 tbsp sesame seeds because I didn't have them, but they would add 276 calories and 70.17 calories respectively to the recipe. Still very yummy without the extra cals!
I don't drink caffeine, but I used to be a real Chai drinker when I did. Chai is an Indian/Pakistani milk tea in which the milk and water are cooked together with spices like cloves, cardamom and cinnamon until it all boils and then you add black tea, cook it up to the strength you want and drink it with a sweetener (or not) of your choice. Mmmmm - yummy!
Having gone caffeine-free, I've had to change the recipe around. At home, I use soy milk and decaf tea with similiar results.
Out shopping this week, I found Tetley's Warmth Cinnamon Spice tea which cuts my work in half and makes this winter warmer microwavable too! If you're making enough for 4 people, use the stovetop method and cook with just 2 teabags for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
An easy bread recipe - relatively quick, compared to some that take a long time in the rising. A little on the bland side - I would maybe add some rosemary or oregano in my next go.
