Red Beans and Cornbread – Online Potluck of Recipes!

In honor of the upcoming National Cornbread Festival in South Pitsburgh, Tennessee, I’ve teamed up with Martha White and some of my blogging friends to have us a big old online potluck!

This will be my third year judging the Cornbread Festival and it has become an event I look forward to all year long. I love tasting all of the wonderful recipes home cooks like you have come up with. If you haven’t considered entering a recipe, I hope you will. It’s easy to do and I happen to know for a fact that y’all are some of the best cooks around! For complete details on how to enter, please click here. The deadline is February 28th, so fire up those ovens!

Below is the dish I’m bringing so make sure you grab the recipe, and at the bottom you’ll see a whole passel of other wonderful dishes so be sure and visit their blogs to gather up more yummy recipes for your family’s collection. 

You’ll need: Red Beans (leftover or in a can), Chopped Green Chilies, Diced Tomatoes, Polish Sausage, and a package of Martha White Sweet Yellow Cornbread and Muffin mix.

Seasonings are really up to you on this. A little bit of dry cajun seasoning would be great. I used a tablespoon of Seasoned Salt and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.

You’ll also need the ingredients the mix calls for on the package

 To get started, dice up about 2 cups of polish sausage and brown it in a skillet over medium heat.

Add in all other ingredients.

Add in your seasonings.

Whoa! Who turned the lights down?

Bring this to a boil while stirring constantly, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for about ten minutes, until it cooks down some, stirring every now and then.

Mix up your cornbread mix according to package directions.

Pour over top of skillet.

Bake at 400 for 17-20 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.

STRAWBERRY FONDUE

We love doing fondue at our house and we usually stick to chocolate for dessert, but I found this simple recipe for strawberry fondue and it is delicious too!  You only need a few simple ingredients and the options for dippers are endless too – I tried angel food cake which was wonderful, but I think it would be amazing with bananas, mandarin oranges, brownie bites, and just about anything else!
STRAWBERRY FONDUE
23 oz container of frozen strawberries, with sugar
2 Tbsp. maraschino cherry juice
2 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp cold water
Place strawberries in a food processor or blender and mix until pureed.  Transfer to a saucepan.  Combine the cornstarch and water and then stir into the strawberry puree.  Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.  Stir in the cherry juice.  This fondue is wonderful warm, but I thought it was great when cooled also so either way works!  
If you would like to dip everything in whipped cream also, here is a simple and delicious recipe for that:
1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp almond extract
Beat the ingredients until stiff peaks form.  
Enjoy!

Thin-Crust BBQ Chicken Pizza

There are only a few recipes that I know by heart, and pizza is one of them. I am always so impressed by people who can whip up a perfect meal without even looking at a cookbook. No matter how many times I cook a certain recipe, I rarely memorize it. My iPad is always at my side when I am in the kitchen!

I have been wanting to try a BBQ chicken pizza recipe for a while, but the problem is that I don’t like red onions, and my husband doesn’t like cilantro, two ingredients you usually find on BBQ chicken pizzas! Instead, I came up with my own version and used thin slices of yellow onion and green onion. I also used creme fraiche for the base, which you don’t typically find on traditional BBQ chicken pizzas, but I thought it went really well! If you want to make a lighter version, leave out the creme fraiche and just spread a thin layer of olive oil on the dough before topping with light shredded mozzarella cheese. I LOVE thin crust pizzas because they get nice and crispy in the oven, and by making thin crust pizza you cut down the carbs quite a bit.

I can’t believe it is Monday already! The weather was pretty gloomy this weekend in the city, so we had a relaxing weekend at home (except for a fun trip to IKEA today for some “window shopping”). Have a great week!
