Here’s a recipe for great Garlic Herb Bread! All you need is a microwave with a pizza oven. (Webmaster note: A conventional oven will also work for this. Please have an adult supervising during use of any oven.)
Place the slices of bread on the microwave pizza cooking tray. Brush melted butter across each piece. Then sprinkle with garlic, parmesan cheese, cracked pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Bake for 6-8 minutes. This is good with spaghetti, soup, and stews! | |
| Hot Cinnamon Cider | |
8 cups of apple ciderPut apple cider into a clear, glass coffee percolator. Pour the cinnamon candies into the coffee basket. Perk the apple cider until all the cinnamon candies have dissolved into the cider. This makes a beautiful drink that smells as wonderful as it tastes. My grown children and my grandchildren would drink gallons of it, if they were allowed to! As the cider perks, the aromatic fragrance of cinnamon apples fills the entire house. Children and adults alike enjoy watching this beverage percolate almost as much as they enjoy drinking it! It is especially great for the holidays. | |

| This delicious Jalepeño Cornbread is the perfect complement to the last featured recipe, Tex-Mex Enchilada Bake. | |
2 cups cornmeal (I prefer yellow, but white cornmeal works, too.)Pre-heat oven to 420°. Mix cornmeal, flour, salt and baking powder in a medium sized mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix eggs, oil, milk, and cream-style corn and stir well. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and stir just until moistened well. If the mixture is too moist, add flour 1 tbsp. at a time until it has a good batter consistency. Fold peppers, onion, and cheese into the batter. Spray a 10" to 12" iron skillet or 10" to 12" pan with the canola oil spray. Pour batter into pan and spread to cover bottom evenly&mdashbe sure not to touch sides or bottom, as this may cause bread to stick in the pan. Bake at 420° about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is done. Test with a sharp knife or toothpick, if necessary. | |
