Corn Salsa

On October 19, 2011 By

 

This was originally made for a potluck, I just kind of whipped it together and it turned out rather good… so I’ll share the recipe… it’s a big batch, but you could probably scale it down pretty easy.

1# bag frozen corn (thawed)
1 medium red onion, minced

Jalapeño Spoonbread

On October 9, 2011 By

Spoonbread, a traditional Southern dish, is sort of a cross between a soufflé and polenta — a light, fluffy mixture of cornmeal, water, milk and eggs. You could serve it as a vegetarian main dish or as a side. I like to bake this in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.

1 cup water
3/4 [...]

Now, for just about every person that eats chili, there’s a chili recipe. And this one isn’t so much a recipe as a general guide.

On September 29, 2011 By

This is one of my “cooking for one” recipes, so double [...]

Hot Pepper Sauce

On September 24, 2011 By

I like Tabasco, but I was always more of a fan of the Frank’s or Durkee hot sauce traditionally used for buffalo wings, until I started making my own.

What you need about 1 pound of hot peppers (red jalapenos are “traditional”, but try green if you want) about 3 cups white vinegar about [...]

Homemade Worcestershire Sauce

On September 23, 2011 By

Worcestershire is one of my “go-to” sauces. I use it for grilling meats, adding flavor to soups and chili, even making salad dressings. For years I was content buying bottled sauce, until I tried making my own. Now, I will say up front, the bottled stuff is a lot cheaper and it doesn’t require hours [...]
