Can I sub cornmeal for grits?

Can you substitute cornmeal for grits? While grits and cornmeal can be substituted for each other, cornmeal is considerably finer and will give you a dish with a much smoother texture than grits.

Why is my cornbread not yellow?

White cornbread uses white cornmeal as the base and tends to have a less bold flavor than yellow cornbread. Many will say the only difference is in the color of the corn that is used to create the cornmeal, but white corn tends to have a muted, less sweet flavor than yellow corn.

Is white or yellow cornmeal healthier?

Though some people believe that yellow corn is sweeter, that's not the case. The only difference is that the naturally occurring pigment that makes those kernels yellow, beta carotene, gives them a bit of a nutritional edge over white corn—beta carotene turns into vitamin A during digestion.

Is it OK to heat mayonnaise?

Is it safe to microwave or eat warm? Yes, you can microwave mayo and it is perfectly safe to do so as long as you do not overheat since mayo is an oil-based condiment. The best way to do this is to microwave it in 15-second intervals until it is warm.

Can you use half and half instead of milk in mac and cheese?

You can use half and half as a substitute for milk when making mac and cheese. In order to get the flavor closer to milk add a small amount of water to the half and half. If the recipe calls for one cup of milk you can use 3/4 cup of half & half combined with 1/4 cup of water.
