Today's poetry words are Naughty, Nice, Normal, New
OMCs let me just say right up front..TOGM struggled with these words.
Usually she composes our poem within a day or two and she uses all 4 words. Not this week.
Mom finally found her cre8tive mojo to compose five lines
to describe me we call it.... All about Madi in five lines
I'm not new but that does not make me blue.
I can be rather haughty but never naughty!
A diva I am; however, to call me formal would not be normal.
I am as nice and sweet as a fresh slice of cranberry cornbread.
This is it no more will be said!
Cranberry Orange Cornbread
1 navel orange
2 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup yellow stone ground corn meal*
(it did not indicate plain or self rising, Mom used self rising)
(it did not indicate plain or self rising, Mom used self rising)
*Mom used her regular corn meal for her famous cornbread so that is what she used
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup fresh cranberries, mom used dried.
Directions:
1.Heat oven to 375, coat a 8"x4" loaf pan with cooking spray
2. Grate zest from 1/2 of the orange into a large bowl. Cute the orange in half and squeeze all the juice. Whisk in eggs, buttermilk, oil, sugar, brown sugar, and salt until blended. Scatter 4 teaspoons of baking powder over the top of this mixture, let it stand until foamy, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir together cornmeal, flower and cranberries, add them to wet ingredients, stirring just until batter is almost free of lumps.
4. Spoon into loaf pan, bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, ~ 35 to 40 minutes, Cool on a rack.
Tip: if you cannot find cranberries you may use fresh blueberries or raspberries.
