Managing a Healthy Daily Diet on a Limited Budget
Here are two easy methods for preparing beans & cornbread. Beans & Cornbread Recipe #1 - Ultra Quick You can purchase your favorite canned beans and spike them up by adding a bit of chili powder, ground cumin, salsa and cilantro. We prefer to rinse our canned beans before use because we don't like the juices that accompany the beans. A bit of salsa substitutes nicely for the bean juice. For the cornbread, seek out those small packets of cornbread mix which can be easily prepared in your toaster oven, thus saving money on energy as you won't have to heat up your kitchen with the big oven. Beans & Cornbread Recipe #1 - Traditional with lower calories and a healthy twist. Soak beans in water overnight. Drain. Cover with water. Add 4 strips of bacon (contains less fat and calories than salt pork). Cook until done - adding more water if needed. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Our Traditional Cornbread Recipe: Although bacon grease works exceptionally well in preparing cornbread, we opt for either healthier olive oil OR cooking spray. We also use an iron skillet to cook our cornbread in - and this needs to be very hot, so be careful if you use this method. Simply combine 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 cup of yellow or white cornmeal, 1 Tablespoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 2 slightly beaten eggs, 1 cup of skim milk and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Pour into pan and bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 25 minutes - or until golden brown. If you desire a sweet cornbread, add either 1/2 cup of pure cane sugar OR 1/2 cup of Splenda to the batter.
