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!

The Lemon-Garlic Mixture Recipe that Chris Wark (Chris Beat Cancer) Recommends

My husband and I are both over 70, and while we have the odd age-expected ache or pain or fallen hair or swollen ankles or whatever, we have avoided many of the BIG Diseases: Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Cancer-- but we have had family with these diseases and there is a good chance that we will have something like this hit at some time. That is the way of the world these days, is it not? So, to be proactive and preventative, we believe that "Food is Our Medicine" and we adhere to a Whole Food/Plant-Based way of eating. We also watch a lot of those health seminars that mesh with our way of thinking that plants/herbs are the answer-- or at least our first rule of order when we feel ill. We loved the Chris Beat Cancer series because, well, who wouldn't? Chris is a charming young man with a friendly, compassionate mission to help others learn about how they too can beat cancer without (or only as a sideline) chemo or radiation. In his Square

Unveiling the Truth: A Critical Review of The Way - 2X2s and Church With No Name

Recently I was struck by a newspaper article about a woman in her 40s, Lyndell Montgomery, who had been part of the religious sect called 2 X 2 s or "The Way" or even "The Church with No Name". Montgomery had recently charged a leader/ministering member of the 2x2s with child sexual abuse that happened when she was 14. She lives on the Island that we live on (maybe even in our community). I am interested in the diversity of memoirs by people who were spiritually abused. And I have some scattered recollections of knowing people who were part of this particular sect. I have a blog page listing more than 25 books that I have read about spiritual abuse . In the eye-opening little book, shown above, we delve into the dark reality of spiritual abuse within "The Way," an enigmatic organization also known as 2X2s or Church Without A Name. Through research and firsthand accounts, the book exposes the damaging effects of spiritual manipulation within The Way. R

Soft Whole Wheat Bread Made In the Crockpot

Quite a few years ago a friend told me about making a loaf of bread in her crockpot. It was all the rage where she lived. I didn't really engage. It didn't seem particularly interesting, to say the least. But over this time since the Pandemic and all the baking ventures that went with that, I have become more interested in making quick, tasty, healthy bread-- just a small loaf for my husband and I, made in one of our small appliances to save energy (and because my elderly oven is currently out of commission). YOUTUBE IS THE PLACE TO GO FOR TUTORIALS ON BREAD-MAKING After I had made some delicious bread in my small oven, I thought about my friend's description of making crockpot bread. I found that there are quite a few recipes and demos on YT. The one I chose to most closely emulate made the process look very easy, even using a blender (I think) to make the dough, and just feeding in 1/4 cup of flour (3 times) when the recipe didn't seem to work out as planned and
