Simple and Fluffy Gluten Free Corn Bread

My family has started to go gluten free and so I needed to make some changes to my favourite corn bread recipe. Here is the modified gluten free version. I have gotten many complements on my corn bread in the past and I recently brought this recipe to a potluck and many people were surprised it was gluten free. Enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 350F
Mix together in a large bowl:
1      cup cornmeal
3/4   cup gluten free flour
1/4   cup arrowroot starch
4      tsp baking powder
1      tsp salt
4      tbsp brown sugar
Whip together in a smaller bowl:
2      eggs
1      cup milk
1/4   cup canola oil
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients in. Mix together thoroughly, making sure there are no lumps. Let sit for a minute then pour into a greased 9×9 pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is browned and a fork comes out clean when poked into the centre. 
       

Reading Week Study Dip

For those of you who don’t know, I LOVE chips and I like them even better when there is some dip to go along with them. So I decided to have some chips and dip while I study (I have been doing way too much procrastinating) but I came to the conclusion that any dip I buy will not be nearly as good as one that I make myself (more procrastinating). I looked at a couple of recipes and decided to make one up myself. It turned out really well and was a huge hit so here is the recipe if you want to try it yourself.

Cut these up and put in a large bowl:
1      Red Pepper
1/2   Onion
1      Jalapeño Pepper (With seeds)
1      Can of Corn

Mix in a smaller bowl:
1      Avocado
8oz  Cream Cheese
1/4   Cup Miracle Whip / Mayo / Sour Cream
1      Package of Ranch Dressing Mix

Scoop the dressing mixture into the large bowl with the vegetables and mix together thoroughly. Eat with chips, veggies or crackers.

If you decide to try it let me know how it turns out!

Enjoy!
