Be sure to try out these two delicious and easy recipes from Light of Life!

Squash Corn Bread
Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of Roasted and pureed squash
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • ½ lb bacon; cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup canned corn kernels
  • 2 cups Large Marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar
  • Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Over low heat, gently melt the marshmallows until soft and gooey.
3. In a large bowl combine squash, eggs, bacon, and corn. Mix until evenly blended.
4. In the same bowl, gently fold in marshmallows, flour and cheddar cheese.
5. Season with about 1 tbsp of salt and 1 tsp of pepper.
6. Pour into a small and well-greased casserole dish and place in a water bath (a larger pan filled with water, not enough to float the small pan. The corn bread will bake inside of the water bath to insulate the casserole dish from rapid temperature change.).
7. Bake in oven for 45 minutes uncovered.
8. Remove and let stand to cool for 10 minutes.
9. Cut and serve.
