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...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
