Cornbread Salad

We're having company tonight and it's way too hot to be doing a lot of indoor cooking!  So, I'm making Greg stand outside, where it's about 103 and cook over a 400 degree grill!  Oh well, it won't take long to cook those chicken breasts!  Along with the grilled foods I decided to make Cornbread Salad.  Now, before you say, "yuck!"  Trust me, it's just plain yummy! 

Cornbread Salad

1 box jiffy cornbread
1/2 cup of sugar**
9 pieces of bacon, cooked & crumbled**
1/2 of an onion, chopped
green pepper, chopped
1-2 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup mayo






Make cornbread as directed on box, adding the 1/2 cup of sugar to the mix.  Let cornbread cool and crumble into a bowl.  Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well mixed.  Chill before serving.

**As if jiffy cornbread mix NEEDS sugar!  This time I made it, I forgot to add the sugar and I think I prefer it without the sugar.  Do whatever makes you happy!

I cook my bacon in the oven.  I line a large baking pan with foil and put a cookie cooling grid on the foil and lay the bacon across it and bake at 400 degrees until it's done (maybe 20 minutes or so, I've never timed it!).  It cooks flat and with less mess than on the stove.  Also, I don't have to hoover over it to make sure I'm not burning it.  I don't even turn it when I cook it in the oven!

So there you have it!  Do you think I can grab a quick bite before our friends get here?

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
