Quick Corn Bread

Quick Corn Bread
1 c. flour
1 c. yellow cornmeal
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten.


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a 9" square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In a smaller bowl whisk the milk, oil and eggs together.  Pour the milk mix over the dry and using a fork stir just until combined.  Don't over mix!  Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake 20-25 min. or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Fabulous served warm!


This recipe easily adapts for muffins or bread made in a skillet.  Just watch the cooking time by checking for the done-ness with the toothpick.

Cheesy Bacon Crescents

Hoosier Homemade is one blog I follow almost religiously! Liz is at the top of the blogging world with her hard work, drive, creativity, and organization! I basically worship the ground she blogs on! This is just one of the 1000+ recipes she has shared with me, and they were divine.
 And really, who doesn't LOVE a recipe with only 4 ingredients? 
Seriously! 
Yippee!



Cheesy Bacon Crescent Recipe…
  • 1-2 tubes of Crescent Rolls (depending on how many you need to serve)
  • 10-15 slices of bacon (I cook bacon in the oven)
  • 1 cup cheese, grated (any kind)
  • 3-5 tablespoons Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise

Directions:
Cook bacon, cool and crumble into small pieces. Mix with cheese and Hellmann’s® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise. Open crescent rolls and place on greased cookie sheet. Spoon a heaping teaspoonful of bacon mixture onto large end of crescent roll, and roll up.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
