I've been trying to find a really good cornbread recipe for a while and I think I've finally found it. Where, you might ask? Of all places, on the side of a soy milk container. No kidding! Even though I haven't checked out her new book "The Kind Diet," the recipe looked good. And it was! Super tasty, moist cornbread. It would compliment a hearty chili or squash soup very well. YUM! My mouth is watering just writing about it. *this recipe came from a Earth Balance soymilk container . You can check out the original recipe from Alicia Silverstone's cookbook here. Cornbread Recipe Serves: 4 Prep: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 45 minutes 1 cup maple syrup 1 1/4 cup soy milk 1/4 cup safflower oil (I used canola) 1 1/2 cups cornmeal 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (can use all-purpose or whole wheat as well) 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1. Preheat oven to 400*F. Oil a 9x9 baking dish (or similar size) or a 12-cup muffin tin. Combine syrup, milk and oil in a medium bowl. Mix well. In a different bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry mixture to wet mixture and mix just until combined. 2. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown. That's it! Wasn't that easy? ------------------------- Who likes to CHANGE IT UP? ~Chop up some dried fruit and/or chopped nuts to give it a little crunch. ~Instead of maple syrup try honey, agave syrup or brown rice syrup. Since honey is quite a bit sweeter, I would only do 3/4 cup instead of 1 cup. ~Add 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or cloves to the batter.

Hi Jen. I hope you are doing well. I was just wondering if you could possibly share your artichoke dip recipe with me. I have been craving it cause it's amazing. I really want to make it. I looked up some recipes online but they all seem different and I wasn't sure the ingredients that you use. Hope to talk to you soon. -Melissa The dip Melissa is jonesing for is Alicia Silverstone's vegan artichoke dip from her book The Kind Diet. I have made this recipe for almost every holiday, baby shower, birthday and sporting event since buying the book two years ago. Known in my circle of friends simply as "The Dip", I have gotten more requests for this dish than anything else I have ever made. I keep increasing the recipe to meet growing demand, but it's still not enough. There are never any leftovers and inevitably someone will say: "Next time you should definitely make more." Every party is better with The Dip! -♥ J :) **The recipe below is how I make The Dip and is slightly tweaked from Alicia's recipe. For example, Alicia uses grated soy Parmesan. I like using Parma Vegan Parmesan because, since it is made from nuts, it is sturdier and makes for a heartier consistency. For the original recipe, be sure to check out The Kind Diet. It is such a wonderful book chock full of great information about becoming vegan as well as some of the most delicious recipes you have ever tasted! You will need: -4 (8.5 ounce) cans of artichoke hearts in water -2 cups Soy-Free Vegenaise -1 and 1/2 (7 ounce) containers Parma Vegan Parmesan -1 garlic clove -paprika Using a wooden spoon, mash up artichoke hearts in a salad spinner or colander. Allow excess water to drain. In a large bowl, add Vegenaise, most of the Parma "cheese" (Reserve 1/4 cup for later use), and chopped garlic. Combine well. Scrape the dip into a baking dish (like this one). Sprinkle remaining Parma on top of dip. Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through and browned on top. Sprinkle with paprika, and serve with crackers, organic tortilla chips or endive leaves. Eat and Enjoy!
