Posted Friday, January 28, 2011 at 4:21 PM I find when I make cornbread (without dairy or eggs) it needs to be in the fridge. Not sure why, normally things without dairy and eggs last longer.

Bugsmom Joined: 09/13/10 Posts: 2069	RE: Cooking with Soy Milk? Posted Friday, January 28, 2011 at 4:25 PM we use almond milk instead of soy milk but I don't see why it would have a problem. We make corn bread all the time. However, the corn meal that's on the grocery store shelves already has the corn oil going bad from the moment it is processed. Could it be that the corn meal is getting old? On the other hand, if you're used to using the grocery store mixes instead of baking from scratch, that could make a big difference in how long things last on the counter. Homemade has a way shorter shelf life. A couple other random thoughts: if you're sealing it up in a storage container before it's completely totally cooled, it will have condensation accumulating and that can make it go bad really fast. could it be that the taste in the recipe you're using is different than what you're used to? I think of the scene from The Santa Claus where Tim Allen makes a face after drinking the milk left out for him (for Santa) and saying the milk has gone sour. The little girl replies "it's soy milk, you said you were lactose intolerant" So maybe the flavor of the soy milk is 'different' enough to be noticed. --Deb R

Posted Friday, January 28, 2011 at 5:53 PM i use soy milk all the time too.. any recipe that calls for milk.. i use soy... but if i am concerned with soy flavor over-powering the dish, then i would probably use rice milk. Just curious.. which cornbread recipe do you use? So far so good.. Cynthia

veggies4me Joined: 01/05/11 Posts: 172	RE: Cooking with Soy Milk? Posted Friday, January 28, 2011 at 7:13 PM Thanks for all the feed back. It may just be the cornmeal with the soymilk. I kind of modified recipes for the cornbread substituting apple sauce for the egg and WW flour for the white and finally soymilk for the milk. It didn't turn out that great this time -- next time I better find a recipe Tonight I used rice milk in my soup recipe. This is delicious ----- try it. 2 Large Sliced Onions Sliced Mushrooms - 4 oz. 2 cloves garlic,minced 1 1/3 cup raw oatmeal 8 cups water 2 1/2 cups tomatoes 8 oz. rice milk Season to taste Saute onion, mushrooms and garlic until tender. Add oatmeal, water and tomatoes. Boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add milk and heat again. Season to taste. I sprinkled with nutritional yeast.

I use rice milk in everything from smoothies to cooking/baking and haven't had any problems. Used to use soy milk but changed because I had read that you can have too much soy and its not good for you in large quantities. Whether true or not (and I really dont know), I thought having more variety would not do me any harm. I prefer rice milk now. I still use other soy products such as tofu.

Posted Sunday, January 30, 2011 at 10:27 AM I used Isa Chandra Moskowitz's recipe just a few days ago, and I used low fat plain soymilk. I put the leftovers in the fridge right after dinner, and heated them up for two meals after that on a cookie sheet. Yumm and no rancidity whatsoever.
