Mochi Meals
This bread is slightly sweet and very moist. It goes well with a bowl of chili or Mexican-style salads. I also love to use this for Cornbread stuffing! This one is a fun recipe which was discovering during the pandemic. The funnier story which it was tied to was while the family was watching Little House On the Prairie during the episode in which the plague breaks out due to contaminated cornmeal. The irony is that in the episode the family was celebrating the lower priced cornmeal they were able to get on sale with an extra loaf of cornmeal bread. Enjoy.
