Corn Salad

Ingredients:

16 oz corn
1/2 of green bell pepper chopped
large handful of cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 to 1/3 mayonnaise
chili cheese frito lays corn chips

Directions:

Step 1: If using frozen corn or fresh cook the corn and then cool and drain. If using canned corn just drain corn and put into a medium size bowl.
Step 2: Prepare veggies by chopping green bell pepper small, half cherry tomatoes or if using regular garden tomatoes cut small. Chop green onions and add all veggies to the corn and toss.
Step 3: Add 1/4 mayonnaise to the corn mixture then pepper generously add a pinch of salt. Stir and taste for seasoning. You may need more mayonnaise add more to your liking. Refrigerate the salad for about 2 hours then add corn chips before ready to serve. I have the corn chips arranged pretty for the photo but they are supposed to be mixed into the salad. Adjust the seasoning but be careful to not over salt since the chips add to the saltiness.

I grabbed this recipe off of Pinterest. I can’t wait to try it – then I will come back and change it to fit what my family likes!! :)

Make it a great one!!

Potato Skins

I LOVE the Pioneer Woman and her recipe for Potato Skins is a Winner to me!! :) This is what is for Lunch (our Dinner with Dad) today!! :) ALthough I will probably serve up the innards of the Potatoes as well!! YUM!

Prep Time 5 Minutes Cook Time 45 Minutes Servings 12 Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

  • 8 whole Russet Potatoes
  • 4 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • Salt To Taste
  • 1-½ cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 slices Thick Cut Peppered Bacon, Fried Until Almost Crisp And Chopped
  • 2 whole Green Onions, Sliced
  • ½ cups Sour Cream

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Scrub potatoes clean and allow them to dry. With a paper towel (or just with your hands) rub the skin of the potatoes with 2 tablespoons canola oil so that they’re nice and moist.

Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until skin is crisp and potatoes are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan and allow to cool until you can handle the potatoes.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving a little bit of potato in the skins. Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons canola oil, then brush both the outside and the inside of the potatoes. Sprinkle the inside lightly with salt. Place potato halves face-down and return to the oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Using tongs, turn the potatoes over and continue to bake until the edges of the potatoes start to turn golden brown.

Remove from oven. Sprinkle the insides of the potato skins with cheddar, then sprinkle on the chopped bacon. Return to the oven long enough for the cheese to melt, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Serve immediately with sour cream and green onions. 

Make it a great one!!
