Vegan Corn Bread with Fresh Corn and Raisins




This corn bread is so delicious with baked-in fresh or frozen thawed corn giblets and Thompson raisins.  It is vegan and I used psyllium husk powder as a binder (you could use flax or chia seed instead but psyllium husk is my latest discovery for light fluffiness).


INGREDIENTS:

1 cup organic yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup sugar (optional)
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
3 cups liquid (1 cup full-fat coconut milk and 2 cups water or aqua fava (fluid left over from cooking chickpeas) or (1 cup water and 1 cup aqua fava.)
1 cup corn niblets, patted dry
1/2 cup raisins

METHOD

1.Set oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Grease a pan or line with parchment or use a silicone pan
3. In medium large bowl, measure in corn meal.
4. Sift all-purpose flour and baking powder into the bowl. Add in psyllium husk powder and salt. Stir well.
5. Stir in sugar
6. Fold in oil and liquid just until flour is incorporated (15 seconds,) Too much stirring toughens the batter.
7. Fold in the raisins and corn.
8. Pour evenly into pan and pop into oven.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes depending on how hot your oven is.  Poke in toothpick if you have doubts about fineness.

Remove when golden brown and cool on a rack. Slice and serve.  Our fave is with baked beans!

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
