Dinner - unknown.

Too busy working outside to cook today. Maybe tomorrow. (hahahaha!) On the super bright side, there are no restaurants (or grocery stores) within 30-45 minutes from here. So I usually eat in.

I do have the option of asking someone to bring me McD tonight. Not sure if I will accept the offer or not. I have food in the freezer I can easily heat up. (I cook extra and freeze for super busy times like today.)

All that talk about homemade bread is making me wish I had the time to cook right now! I love homemade gluten free bread...and homemade tomato soup....

I am making beef bone broth right now. It should be ready in two days. Fresh made soup and fresh bread.... Yeah, I need to go now. More mowing to be done.

Made corn bread on Sunday and I ground corn to make the cornmeal. I am the only one eating it. Trust me, the cornbread is awesome!

Whenever I make cornbread I add a 1/4 cup of honey to the recipe and just fold it in. It is so nice to bite into a piece of cornbread and taste the honey already there. What worked best was when I used semi granulated honey.

The other thing I do is to bake the cornbread in cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. One cupcake equals one nice sized portion and the rest of the cornbread does not start to dry out since there are no cut edges.

Great tips!
I will work on different sweeteners. I do like the cupcake pan idea too

If done correctly, the honey does not act like a sweetener but is more like if you take a piece of cornbread and pour some honey on it only it is already inside the cornbread. I add the honey in addition to whatever sugar or substitute sweetener that I use in the cornbread recipe.

A couple of nice things about substituting honey for sugar in a recipe is that the the baked goods come out moister and retain their moisture better and the honey has a natural mold inhibitor in it helping to preserve the baked goods.

The recipe calls for too much sugar actually. I have made it without any sugar and it was good.

I will try different amounts of honey, starting with 1\4C. The recipe calls for 2\3c of sugar
