In this case, whole kernel corn, diced green chiles and Daiya vegan "cheese." It makes a great side dish for a morning tofu or egg scramble or a raw fruit salad. And when accompanying a big green salad, it makes the perfect lunch.  To ensure that you are avoiding GMO corn, always select organic corn kernels and corn meal for this recipe.                 *                       *                      *      Chili-Chipotle Corn Muffins Vegan, Gluten and Dairy Free [makes 12 muffins] Requires a muffin pan and best with an electric han...

This morning I was in the mood for a muffin. I'm trying to lose a few pounds and wanted to keep the calories low so I used very little sugar and less oil than most recipes.  I also wanted to use one of the beautiful Fuji apples we just harvested from our tree. So here's what we came up with. This recipe is specifically for Einkorn flour. Modern wheat absorbs more water than Einkorn so it can not be substituted one for one.                 ...
