cornbread and chowder

a yummy milchig supper!

chowder (inspired by a recipe @ naturalmammas.com):

4 tbsp butter, heated

1 large onion sauteed in the butter

4 nice size garlic cloves, chopped fine, also sauteed

32oz  container imagine foods veggie broth

32oz container imagine foods butternut squash (love my imagine broths)

1 8oz can creamed corn

5 medium-large potatoes, chopped (not too small, not too big) 

let chowder softly bubble (doesn't that sound lovely?) until the potatoes are cooked. then add 2c shredded cheddar, stir stir stir! i seasoned mine with salt, pepper, and tamari. the tamari is essential! hubby and i added feta as a garnish for ours, a nice tangy touch. this is a large recipe, we feed a lot of folks in my house. scale it up or down to feed your gang.

cornbread:  (inspired by "best cornbread" from easybakingtips.com):

1c pastry flour (i used unbleached white, but i think any light grain flour would work nicely)

1c cornmeal

1 tbsp baking powder

1/4c honey 

1 egg

1/4 olive oil

1c milk

mix well and pour into a sprayed 9x13. bake until golden. i never made a milchig cornbread before and i was NOT disappointed!
