WANNA BITE????

so the other day i tried to think of how i might be able to make something similar to cornbread!!! cause this southern chic misses cornbread!!

i mixed 1 packet of IP POTATO PUREE...and 1 packet of IP CRISPY CEREAL MIX...and got a nice result resembling something similar to cornbread!!

it all started with this gift i got for mothers day... WHOOPIE PIE baking pan!!

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8433/7...1b3521c1_n.jpg

its just been sitting in mt cabinet....staring at me....tempting me....so i thought i'd finally put it to good use!!

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8421/7...7f9172c7_n.jpg
I STARTED WITH THESE 2 PACKETS...

i whipped 1 egg white in my magic bullet...added 4 tbsp water....mixed again...
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7279/7...9b1bdc81_n.jpg

to my packets i added 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tbsp rosemary (optional), and a dash garlic powder


mixed all together in magic bullet.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8286/7...35b90ba2_n.jpg
this made a rather thick mixture

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7114/7...d8779b6af4.jpg
i sprayed my pan with non stick spray and rolled out 4 balls....and added them to my pan, spacing them out so they cook evenly.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7134/7...2123cc29_n.jpg
thank i pressed them down into the pan

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8433/7...e7e88250a4.jpg
baked on 400 for about 17 mins or until toasty browned on top!!

they look like cornbread muffins!!

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8282/7...6a8fc7d417.jpg
dh and i had one each with supper....i sprayed mine with a little ICBINB spray....yum....this was dense...thick...not rubbery....and almost had the taste of cornbread!! woot woot!!

the other 2 muffins...i diced and toasted in the pan for CROUTONS!!
