Happy Corn Chowder Day and World Food Day!

Blogger of the Day: Ellen at La Pure Mama

On today's calendar...
• World Food Day, established by the UN to highlight the issues behind global poverty and hunger...the theme for 2014 is "Family Farming: Feeding the World, Caring for the Earth”. Support the small healthy family farm...buy local and organic!
• Whole Grains Council's Corn Month...did you know that corn is the most-produced grain worldwide?
• Boss's Day! Give your boss a corny gift.  ;)
• Corn Chowder Day...stir up some sunshiney yum!  :)

Ellen is a Bellingham-based mom concerned with feeding her family healthy wholesome nonGMO meals that are crueltyfree and downright delicious! She writes articles such as BBQ THROWDOWN: Vegan vs. carnivore, husband vs. wife and Fall to winter: Changes in the kitchen for the local press that include plenty of her hungerstomping recipes too. Her Corn Chowder is exactly what chowder should be...warm, comfy and soulfully yumful. Catch more of her cornbased dishes and explore the rest of this mama's menu!  :)











Corn starch counts too...  :)


Notes...
• 1 ear of corn = about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of corn kernels
• Ellen recommends Trader Joe's Roasted Corn if you can't get fresh corn

Which world food issue concerns you the most? Do films like King Corn inspire you to act? What traditional corn dish is your favorite? Are you being nice to your boss today?  ;)

Happy Corn Fritter Day!

Blogger of the Day: Natalie at The Wooden Spoon

I hungermelt for anything in a round fryable shape...patties, burgers, falafels and ohHeckYes fritters! Their crispy crunchy outside, savory flavorful inside and easy vegan yumfulness rocket me over the moon at any meal. Or midnight snack. ...yep, I'm feeling a stack of fritters and sauce and a midnight moviefest coming on soon.  ;)

Natalie is a certified running coach, personal trainer and yoga instructor, professional writer and talented recipe maker. Her vegfriendly fare is full of supersimple Southern and TexMexy tastes...I need some fast filling deliciousness this week, so The Wooden Spoon is my happy place!  :)












You can make Natalie's Cucumber Sour Cream Raita with Follow Your Heart Sour Cream or Tofutti Sour Cream or flatter your fritters with your favorite creamy salad dressing, dip, hot sauce, guac...  ;)

What's your favorite fritter flavor? Do you groove on TexMex or Southern cooking or another American cuisine?  :)

Happy Polenta Day!

Blogger of the Day: Vanessa at Essential Vegan
Pubs: Essential Vegan Cookbook...sales help support Animal Equality  :)

Oh, to be in England...then I could indulge in one of Vanessa's stunning vegan cakes. I'm not even a coconut nut but a sliver of that Prestigio Bounty Cake would spin me into instant bliss!

Brazilian-born Vanessa puts her gorgeously yumful touch on everything she creates including her polenta cake. Polenta is one of those oldtime comfort foods like oatmeal or mashed potatoes that fill you up in a warm lasting satisfying way...it's even better when you grill it, fry it or bake it up but Vanessa's version is just exquisitely delicious! In fact I think her blog should be named Exquisitely Essential Vegan because her dishes mesmerize you and tantalize you and crush your hungercravings into dust!  :)











Have you ever had polenta baked into a dessert? How do like to eat polenta? What comfort food are you craving now?  ;)
