Cream sugar and butter, add eggs and milk, and beat well. Then add flour, cornmeal, lemon juice, and grated lemon rind. Don't be surprised when the lemon juice makes the mixture look curdled — it will be fine when it bakes. Pour mixture into the pie shell and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until only slightly jiggly in the middle and a knife inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. This can be served slightly warm but is best after it has had time to cool. Can be made in advance. Shop Yellow Cornmeal

By: Jim Tarleton Ingredients 8 Cups Heavy Cream (or half and half) 5 oz unsalted butter 1 TBS crushed/chopped fresh garlic (or 1 tsp garlic paste) ¼ Tsp salt ¼ Tsp vegetable seasoning (like “Perfect Pinch” garlic & herb) 1 Cup Marsh Hen Mill stoneground grits 1 Cup NY White Cheddar Cheese (grated) ½ Cup Extra-Sharp cheddar Cheese (grated) ¼ Cup Asiago Cheese For the Shrimp 2-3 lbs large shrimp (peeled and deveined) 1 Cup Hot Sauce (I prefer using Texas Pete – Tabasco is hotter) 2 Cups flour ½ Cup cornstarch 1 TBS seafood magic blend, Old Bay or any homemade seafood spice mix 1 TBS ground black pepper 2 Tsp cayenne pepper 1-2 Tsp Paprika (optional for color) Canola or vegetable oil (enough for frying) For the Mushroom Sauce ½ Lb (or more) white mushrooms (sliced thin) 2 TBS unsalted butter 8 oz Tasso ham (substitute any unsmoked ham) diced and sautéed 1 finely diced jalapeño pepper (deseeded) ½+ cup (or more) white wine (Chardonnay works well) Directions Grits Bring cream to a gentle boil in large saucepan. Add butter, garlic, salt, vegetable seasoning, grits. Cook until grits are creamy (30+ min), then add cheese (a little at a time) until thoroughly incorporated and continue to cook until grits are done (about 15 more min). Shrimp Marinate shrimp in the hot sauce for about 10-15 minutes. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, seafood spice mix, black and cayenne pepper, salt, paprika (use paprika for color and also for taste). Dredge shrimp in mixture, shake off excess and pan fry in small batches about 2-3 minutes until golden. Set aside to drain (keep warm). Mushroom Sauce – Sauté jalapeño then mushrooms in butter until softened. Add diced ham and cook another 2 minutes. Add wine and reduce until sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Assembly Ladle grits into serving dish/large bowl. Spoon mushroom sauce mixture onto grits. Place generous amount of shrimp on top. Scatter chopped, green onions for garnish. Serve immediately while hot. Amount(s) can be adjusted accordingly for quantity and individual taste. Grits need to be “creamy”, not just cooked. I like to lean a little heavy on the Asiago cheese in the grits. Shop Our Grits

Adapted from Real Simple Magazine by Leslie Pratt Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound breakfast sausage (casing removed) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish and foil 1 recipe gluten-free cornbread, cut into large cubes 2 medium white onions, chopped 4 celery stalks, thinly sliced ½ cup dried cranberries (Craisins) kosher salt and black pepper ½ cup dry white wine 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 large eggs, beaten ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 tablespoon rubbed sage Salt and pepper Directions Heat oven to 375°F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage and 1 Tbs. of rubbed sage, breaking it up with a spoon until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and reserve skillet. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Divide the cornbread between 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until dry and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, occasionally stirring, until very tender and beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the dried cranberries and wine and cook until evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes; transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Add broth, eggs, sausage, and parsley and ½ teaspoon salt to the vegetables and toss to combine. Begin to layer the dried cornbread and the sausage and vegetable mixture in the prepared baking pan. Do not toss the bread with the sausage mixture or the cornbread will break down. Layer bread, then sausage mixture, ending with bread. Cover with buttered foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until browned, 20 to 30 minutes more. Shop Our Cornmeal

By: Despina Panagakos Yeargin Dry Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice Wet Ingredients: 1 egg 1 cup buttermilk ½ cup pumpkin puree ½ cup cooked Freekeh Toasted Pumpkin Seeds ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds ¼ pat of butter (about ½ a teaspoon) 1 big pinch of salt How to Cook Freekeh 2 cups water (bring to a boil) 1 teaspoon salt (in the water) 1 cup freekeh (rinse in a sieve first and add to boiling salted water) Cover the pot of boiling water, salt and freekeh. Lower the heat so that the pot contents simmer. Cook for twenty minutes. Uncover. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir the freekeh and leave on the burner for 20 to 30 minutes so that the residual heat dries out any remaining water. Yield: 3 cups cooked freekeh. Use in muffins, soups, salads, pancakes and as a breakfast cereal. Toasting the Pumpkin Seeds Heat a non-stick pan over high heat. Add the seeds and butter. Stir and toss until browned. They will make a popping sound. When you are satisfied with the toasty color, stir in a generous pinch of salt. Stir or toss. Pour out onto a small plate to cool. The Pancakes Combine dry ingredients with a whisk. In another bowl, whisk the egg, then the buttermilk. Switch to a spatula and stir in the pumpkin. Finally, add the freekeh and dry mix. Stir until all ingredients are barely combined. Overmixing will toughen the pancakes and not allow them to rise properly. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a smidge below medium and add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Using a ¼ cup measure and a small spatula, pour in the pancake batter. Use the spatula to push the batter onto the pan rapidly and to spread out in the pan so that each pancake is even. Once the pancakes have risen a bit and developed bubbles on the side, flip the pancakes and continue to cook until the center is cooked through. I save the first pancake for the cook so I can see if the center is properly done…then I eat it! Yield: 10 medium pancakes, enough for three to four people, depending on how hungry they are. NOTES: Eggs are large. Salt used is Celtic sea salt. Freekeh is always sourced from Marsh Hen Mills in Edisto, South Carolina, and the maple syrup is always from Sapwood Farms in the Ithaca, New York, area. Shop Freekeh
