Steps:
- To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a large sauté pan or skillet over high heat. Add the onion, celery, and green bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and Creole seasoning, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly, about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and bay leaf. Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and pour the filling into an 8-by-8-inch square or round baking dish. Set aside in a warm area, while preparing the topping.
- To prepare the topping, preheat the oven to 375°F. Put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Incorporate the eggs one at a time and mix until smooth. Add the green chiles, creamed corn, red and green bell peppers, the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until the mixture forms a soft batter.
- Carefully dollop the corn bread batter over the filling. Using an offset metal spatula, spread the batter smoothly across the top of the casserole, forming a thin layer. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet in the center of the oven. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack. Cut through the corn bread with a small knife. Scoop 6 to 8 generous portions of the filling and the corn bread into large soup bowls or onto plates.
CONFETTI BREAD
Like flecks of colorful jewels, vegetables add nutrition and visual impact to this healthful bread. Thyme is the suggested herb, but add your favorite, such as basil or oregano, if you prefer. This recipe was found in BH&G's Complete Guide to Bread Machine Baking.

Steps:
- Add the ingredients to bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Select basic white cycle and crust setting.
- NOTE: Dough may appear stiff at first until the vegetables have released some of their liquid during the kneading cycle.
- Watch closely; it may be necessary to add 1 to 3 tablespoons additional flour.
- If you prefer, you can use the dough setting on your machine and bake in a conventional oven at 350 degrees F until golden brown.
CONFETTI MONKEY BREAD
Imagine the delight and awe of a birthday boy or girl waking up to this delicious and beautiful treat. I used cinnamon extract (commonly found in most grocery stores) in place of cinnamon, purely for aesthetic purposes, as I wanted to create a beautifully light and colorful monkey bread. If you are not opposed to a dark brown confetti bread, feel free to omit the extract and substitute 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.

Steps:
- For the dough: Grease a large bowl with butter and set aside.
- Pour the flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- Add in the yeast and turn on the lowest speed for 30 seconds to evenly distribute.
- Add the milk, melted butter, eggs and 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 120 degrees F) to the flour mixture all at once. Beat on low- to medium-speed until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the sprinkles and mix until mostly distributed, about 30 more seconds.
- Remove the dough from the mixer, shape it into a ball with your hands and place it in the greased bowl, turning once to coat the entire surface.
- Spray a piece of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and cover the bowl. Let the dough rise until doubled in size. (You can also place in the refrigerator overnight.)
- For the coating: Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Add in the granulated sugar and extracts and set aside.
- Generously spray the bottom and sides of a Bundt pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Punch the dough down by pushing your fist into the center and then start pulling the edges into the center.
- Pull apart the dough into small pieces about an inch across and roll in your hands to create smooth, uniform dough balls. Place one layer of dough balls into the Bundt pan, then pour a third of the melted butter mixture over.
- Repeat this process twice more, or until you have used all the dough and butter mixture.
- Bake until golden brown on top, 30 to 35 minutes, covering with foil if the top starts to brown too quickly.
- For the glaze: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with the confectioners' sugar until smooth and light. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. If the glaze seems too thick, add more milk. If the glaze seems too runny, add in a bit more confectioners' sugar. (You are looking for a gravy-like consistency, where the glaze will fall over the sides of the monkey bread but not spill off completely.)
- Remove the monkey bread from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert onto a serving plate.
- Whisk the glaze briefly, then pour over the monkey bread. Garnish with more sprinkles.
CONFETTI BREAD
Steps:
- 1. Oil two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans. 2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, coconut oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla. 4. Add diced fruit and zucchini and mix until well blended. 5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing just to incorporate after each addition. 6. Gently mix blueberries into the batter. 7. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake about 50 to 60 minutes at 350 F. or until a toothpickinserted in the center comes out clean, . Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to make the dough. This will save you time and effort, and ensure that the dough is properly mixed.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough by hand. Be sure to mix it until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a 12-inch rope.
- Braid the two ropes together and place them on a greased baking sheet.
- Let the bread rise again until it has doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
