This looks really good. I am going to try it this week. I have 1 question though. I have a magic mill. The old style. It works wonderful. Are you able to grind popcorn kernels in that?

Thanks

Jodi · 7 months ago

I'm not familiar with the magic mill. I know the old "WhisperMill" is able to grind popcorn. I would probably call your manufacturer and find out for sure. You don't want to risk breaking your grinder!

I am supposed to be getting my grinder in the next week. I'm really excited to try it out and will definitely need to make this cornbread. Thanks so much for the recipe!

"1 lb stewed tomatoes"

are those canned, bottled, or fresh? if cans or bottles, how many? (it is just that if I see "stewed tomatoes," it is always listed in ounce cans and if I see "pounds" of tomatoes," it is usually fresh... so help me out here.....)

Jodi · 7 months ago

1 lb stewed tomatoes is a 16 oz can of sliced stewed tomatoes. I've also used some of my bottled tomatoes before and they work too. It doesn't need to be a REALLY exact amount.

So I totally didn't know you could make popcorn into cornmeal. It's amazing what you can learn when you read things like this.

"Yellow Dent Corn" is what is typically used to make cornmeal (at least in the south). Popcorn doesnt quite taste right, but works. There are 16 ounces in a pound.

ok, the lentils were a problem in your childhood. Sorry. The ones I bought at the grain store always had little pebbles mixed in, and no matter how hard I tried to pick through them, you'd get at least one in your tooth.

I read somewhere that if you ad a TLB. of vinegar to the water you soak your beans in, the gassy affect is reduced. This tip came from aunt Nadine, who had 8 kids. I guess 8 gassy kids in one house was just too much. haha

I found out 2 years ago after undergoing treatment for cancer of the lymphonodes at age 30, that I am now allergic to wheat. I don't know if you have many readers who are allergic to wheat. Anyway, my dear friend who is gluten intolerant gave me this amazing recipe for wheat free and gluten free cornbread muffins - feel free to share:

I bought almost everything in the Bob's Red Mill section in Macey's grocery store. For an even sweeter muffin use Sweet Rice Flour instead. Sometimes I make it with 1 cup Corn Flour instead of corn meal and corn flour. Since my kids have found out how delicious these are, I have to make a double batch. Enjoy!


½ cup melted butter
2/3 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
½ tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp honey

¼ tsp baking powder
½ cup rice flour
3 Tbsp potato starch
1 Tbsp tapioca flour
½ tsp xznthan gum
½ cup corn meal
½ cup corn flour
½ tsp salt

Mix butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, soda, and honey. Add rest of ingredients. Pour into greased 8x8 pan at 375 and bake for 30 minutes. Bake muffins for 15 minutes or until golden brow. Makes 18 muffins.

Jodi - Food Storage Made Easy · 3 months ago

Mmm I'll have to try it with the brown sugar. And yes any popcorn kernels will work. I used a bag of popcorn from Walmart and it worked just fine!
