Wow this really looks good! We eat a lot of Mexican based meals, this will sure be a tasty new addition! Does the cornbread get too mushy or anything?

A POX on insipid, de-germed, commercial cornmeal products. Mill your own cornmeal for the best flavor. When it comes to wholegrains, freshly-milled is always the best and most flavorful!!! It's a WHOLE different wonderful corn-flavored experience, and it smells heavenly during baking. Or try Bob's Red Mill Cornmeal, which contains the germ and bran, unlike most commercial cornmeal products. Be sure to store it in the freezer since it is wholegrain, to slow down the germ oil going rancid. -Grainlady

LOOKING for: Chicken Salad for Sandwiches
Q
Comments (9)
Glenda, I have the chicken poached and chilled, ready to process into whatever texture. And, I picked-up more celery today at the market, along with some water chestnuts for added crunch. I think I am going to do your simple version, and add the water chestnuts, and a little touch of some sugar. I also picked-up some butter lettuce and some nice red leaf lettuce to make these sandwiches. Carla, my recipe for chicken salad is a chunky one. The grapes are halved and it has almonds in it that are slivered. It would be too chunky and make a huge mess and not work to make a sandwich with the tender mango peach bread, even if the bread is toasted to give it more stability for a sandwich. I was wondering if the bread would fight or overpower the flavor of a little curry. I think it might. To serve the brunch/lunch tomorrow, I am using this sandwich idea, then some wonderful black raspberries, some blueberries, and some red grapes that I am going to mix with some honey dew balls. And, I am doing a chunky avocado and tomato salsa on a small bed of colored corn tortilla strips. I thought a fizzy limeade would be a nice touch too. Until breakfast this morning, I was still clueless what to serve. This bread is really wonderful and will give a plain lunch a special touch. Thanks so very, very much! I never thought it would be so EASY!! Great recipe! Sometimes, it seems the easier and simplier, the better!

I would just put it on a lettuce leaf...perhaps a red lettuce leaf to go with the cranberries. you could cut a giant tomato flower and put the chicken in there, but the color would fight with the cranberrys and I like that better with crab salad. you could make mini bread bowls, that's pretty and you have your crusty bread already on the plate.

Here are a couple of make ahead salad recipes. COPPER PENNY SALAD 4 cups sliced carrots-----------------cook 10 minutes in salted water 2 medium thinly sliced onions 1 medium diced green pepper 1-10 oz. can tomato soup Â½ cup oil 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard 1 tsp. worchestershire sauce Â½ tsp. salt To cooked carrots add onions and peppers. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over vegetables. Let stand 1 day Will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. BEAN SALAD Drain in a colander, in orderÂ 1 can of Kidney beans, 1 can cut of yellow beans, 1 can of cut green beans OptionalÂyou can add a can of chick peas. 1 small to medium red or white onion cut in ringsÂvery necessary as they add flavor to the salad Dressing Â½ cup white or red wine vinegar Â½ cup sugar Â½ cup salad oil 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp dried basil (2 if itÂs fresh) 1 tbsp. prepared mustard Mix together and pour over beans and onions. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before using. Keeps for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. A couple of make ahead breakfast recipes. You make them up the night before and pop them in the oven in the morning.Both use bread cut into cubes CHRISTMAS MORNING WIFE SAVER 6 cups bread cubes 1 1/2 cups of 1/2 inch ham cubes 1/4 cup chopped green onions 1-1/2 cups shredded chedar cheese 6 eggs beaten 1-1/2 cups milk or buttermilk 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper Generously grease a 9x13 pan. Spread half of the bread in the bottom of the pan. Scatter the onions and hamon top. Sprinkle on the cheese. Cover with the remaining bread crumbs. Beat eggs until they are frothy. Add milk, salt and pepper. Blend well. Pour evenly over bread. Cover tightly with saran wrap and refrigerate over night. In the morning, remove from refrigerator while the oven is heating. Bake @350 for 1 hour. This recipe is very forgiving. The bread, cheese, egg and milk must stay the same but you can add anything you would use in an omelet to the inner layer. APPLE FRENCH TOAST 10 slices day old french bread--I have used raisin bread--very good 6 eggs lightly beaten 2/3/4 cups milk 2/3 cups sugar (divided) 1 tbsp. vanilla 4 medium apples-peeled and thinly sliced. 2 tbsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1 tbsp. butter or margarine Arrange the bread to cover completely the bottom of a well greased 9x13 pan. Combine eggs, milk, half the sugar and vanilla. Pour half over the bread. Combine the rest of the sugar with the spices. Layer on the apples sprinkling with half the sugar mixture. Pour over this the rest of the egg mixture and sprinkle with the rest of the sugar mix. Cover tightly with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator while the oven is heating. Bake uncovered @350 for 1 hour or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean One of these is usually standard fare in our house Christmas morning. A few hints for you. If you are bringing hot dishes a crock pot is ideal. It can be plugged in as soon as you get there. If it's hot a square tinfoil roaster filled with ice makes an ideal holder for salads and things you want to keep cool Deligate certain chores to other family members--don't try to do everything yourself. Good luck--I hope everything goes well

As stated, it isn't really mushy if eaten pretty soon, but can get that way. I really didn't expect to like it, & certainly didn't think my picky family would like it. Wherever i got the recipe, it received rave reviews so I decided to try it out of curiosity. I was rather surprised that my family even tried it, they are afraid of new things, but they did & loved it.
