Easy Cornbread

Corn bread is one of those things that you gotta make just right or it's not gonna taste very good. If it's all dry then it will fall apart and crumble when you try to put butter on it. Plus who likes dry crumbly corn bread in their mouth? I really like this version of corn bread because it's super easy and not all dry-like. It uses mixes and is a snap to put together. I love homemade corn bread, but this is a tasty version as well.

Ingredients

2 boxes Jiffy Cornbread mix

1 box Duncan Hines Butter Golden cake mix (without pudding in the mix)

Directions

• Mix both boxes separately according to package directions or you can put it all into one large bowl and mix together.
• Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350 degrees until done, about 30 45 minutes depending on your oven. 
• Serve with honey butter, if desired.

Gluten-Free Raspberry Coconut-Almond Bars

Gluten-free almond raspberry bars with coconut are sweet temptation.

Let's Party

Let's be honest. I am here today to tempt you. To coax you. To seduce you with a (gluten-free vegan!) dessert worthy of every single luscious calorie. In full transparency, I am admitting up front these are not fat-free. Or sugar-free. These aren't diet food. They're not proper for breakfast (unless you serve them with Champagne).

And you won't be able to sigh ever-so-wistfully at parties and mention, off hand, how hard it is to eat gluten-free at family gatherings and parties. Because, Darling Reader, you'll score zero sympathy points once people sink their teeth into the luscious raspberry jam filling nestled between buttery toasted coconut-almond crunch topping and tender hazelnut cookie crust. Nope.

In fact, these decadent raspberry coconut-almond bars should come with a warning:

Be careful who you share these with.

{Because they are sure to fall madly in love with you.}

Noi-Nar Ka Ti (Custard Apple in Coconut Cream)

A custard apple is ripe when you gently squeeze it and it gives slightly under your hand. Much the same as an avocado. You can buy custard apples ready to eat, or still hard to the touch and let it ripen over the next few days after purchase.

If you want to hasten the ripening process then simply put the fruit into a brown paper bag with a banana and leave it on the kitchen bench. The banana will accelerate the ripening of the custard apple.

Custard Apples are only eaten when soft, and only the flesh is eaten. To eat, simply cut in half and scoop out the white flesh. The Custard Apple should be moist with a pleasant sweet aroma. Once ripe, custard apples can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Once the skin has gone purple or black, they have passed their best eating quality.

Ingredients:  

• 2 Custard  apples
• 1 cup of coconut milk
• 1 ½  cups of white sugar
• 1 cup of Pandan  leaves  juice
• A pin of salt

How to cook:

1. Wash and clean well custard apples and cut for half.  
2. Peeled, seeds removed and set aside. 
3. Boil Pandan leaves with sugar. Keep boiling until sugar is melted 
4. Add coconut milk into the pot and put custard apples  into the pot too.  Continue boiling for 3-5 minutes, turn off the stove,  leave  it cool.
5. You can served warm or with ice.

Enjoy!! ^^

Steak Kabobs

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TUMS. All opinions are 100% mine.
Grilling season is finally here! Along with picnics and family cookouts. All that good food surely has some spicy seasoning to go along with it. Thank goodness for Tums. When I am pregnant, I live on the stuff. I keep it in my medicine cabinet and also in my night stand. I actually like the taste of them. The tropical is my favorite. Now you can get a TUMS Free Roll at Walmart when you buy Tums, while supplies last. Walmart is the best place to stock up on Tums.
I made some Steak Kabobs and they were spicy! My husband loves spicy food, but me... not so much. I can only handle a little kick. Tums were there to save the day.

Ingredients
2 lbs Sirloin steak, cut into bite sized pieces
1 bell pepper
8 oz. whole mushrooms
1 onion
1 pkg. Grill Mates Montreal Steak Marinade plus ingredients called for on package
wooden skewers (soak in water for 30 minutes so they don't burn)
Directions

• Mix together the marinade ingredients.
• Place meat in a large resealable bag.
• Pour marinade over meat and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Assemble shish kabobs by sliding on steak veggies.
• Place on a grill and cook until done, turning every so often.

And these were spicy to me! Good thing I had my Tums nearby.

I get an upset stomach if I eat too much greasy food, or if I eat past 8:00 pm. No joke. Sometimes it can't be helped and I am miserable. That's when I reach for the Tums. They totally help! So head over to Walmart and get some Tums for the Summer season of food!
