Corn Bread Bites

Like Pam, I am excited for Autumn to arrive. Last week we made my chili recipe which I posted last year, but needed something new to go with it.  We usually make Buttermilk Corn Bread, but I happened to find this recipe not long ago and needed a dish to try it out with, so that is what I did.
I use a mini muffin pan for this recipe which turned out perfect.  The kids thought these were great and had fun with the bite size portions!  A quick and easy side dish for chili or whatever you are having for dinner.

Corn Bread Bites

 from bakeorbreak.com

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar (I added 2 tbsp)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (I omitted this)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 (8 & 3/4 ounce) can cream-stlye corn
  • 1 large egg
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray mini muffins pans (recipe makes 36 muffins) and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chili powder. In a separate bowl, combine cheese, sour cream, onions, corn, and egg. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
Spoon batter into muffin pans. Bake for about 10 minutes or until browned. Cool in pan for about 2 minutes. Then, remove from pans and cool muffins on wire rack.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Pumpkin Spice Donuts

I love this time of year when the temperature drops and it's perfectly acceptable to make and eat all kinds of pumpkin things! I've been meaning to try my hand at cake donuts for sometime now and these pumpkin ones were calling my name.  Unlike yeast donuts that require a few rises and fry up nice and fluffy, these cake donuts come together pretty quickly (with a small chilling period) and are more dense and moist in texture. The outside gets all craggy and crispy which is perfect for collecting all the sugary glaze.  Such a delicious combo of textures and perfectly flavored with pumpkin and spices.  We loved these!! Note: I tried making a few of these in the air fryer as an experiment and was amazed at the difference in texture.  Not in a good way.  The air fryer ones were much tougher and not craggy and crispy.  So stick with frying these in oil and you won't be disappointed.
