Silly? well , ok. If you received this flyer in your food box, be proud of your cornmeal. Other than breading fish and delicious corn bread, this recipe is ancient and kept many from starvation. Cornmeal is a preservative, hence the rhyme, "Pease Porridge in the Pot," Children may balk until after breakfast and they fill full and have a better start. Add goodies like raisins. Left overs are even better cold and sliced.
This is even healthier than those microwave sugar filled hot cereal mixes.

Think salad, think family. Prepare a beautiful basic tossed salad and serve first. My kids loved the idea of little dishes of add-ons, like chives, parmesan cheese, olives, radishes, croutons, bacon bits, etc.
If the basic salad is too busy, meaning too many ingredients, kids get real picky, but given a choice, they might choose something on the side.
Hint: Most of us us have a cut off time"It's too close to dinner" and that is so good. About 20 minutes before dinner, I let my daughters have one Dum Dum sucker and that made them ravenous. That really stimulates hunger. Too many snacks before dinner is not good.

Season your salad dressings well. Basic oil and vinegar dressings are best when made with twice as much oil than vinegar. Olive oil is more pungent. Peanut and safflower oils are lighter. Red wine vinegar is most intense and apple cider vinegar is the mildest. Lemon juice can substitute for either. Play with your herbs.

Pancakes
September 1, 2001

1 T. sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 eggs
2 c. buttermilk
2 T. melted shortening
Sift together dry ingredients, add eggs, beating until fluffy, add buttermilk, then shortening. That easy!
Pour a scant 1/4 cup onto a heated griddle or skillet, until browned, turning only once. Makes 24 4" pancakes...Chocolate chips may be added
If you don't have buttermilk, add a little white vinegar to your milk, works fine.
Baking soda is super for cleaning wooden cutting boards or wood surfaces. Rub on with a sponge and rinse off.
