Comment on Spicy Corn Salad by Johnell Hughes

Tried this yesterday. So fantastic. OMG it set my taste buds into overdrive. I am lazier though and I used frozen corn. As I do in pasta salads too I don’t cook the corn. It has that crunchiness to it. The cilantro also adds that freshness to it. Thanks for the great recipes.

I am truly loving the recipes and helpful cooking hints you have shared with others. I have been an avid cook for many years and have thought of starting a blog with some of my recipes too, but yours is truly an inspiration to me. I am enjoying the fact that you are enjoying being a Texan since I know you are originally from the Northeast. I am enjoying reading your tips on some Southern dishes. I have some recipes that I love experimenting with and maybe will try to share them with you and others as time goes on.
I know you like squash as I do and I have a recipe I sort of invented where I take squash and split them long wise down the middle. I stuff them with hamburger with various spices and then wrap then in bacon and bake them. I use various ingredients in the hamburger before I stuff the squash. Sometimes I wrap different things around the squash instead of bacon when I bake them. I would like to try to wrap them in foil and do it on the grill the next time. I made up a silly name for this recipe and my family loves them. I sometimes call them stuffed squash canoes, for that is what they look like after I hollow out the squash and fill them with the center of the squash mixed with the hamburger when I stuff them. They are delightful and easy to do. It was one of those ideas I just came up with one morning when I looked at ingredients I had and decided I would try something different.
I also tried the squeeze of lime in my scrambled eggs this morning and they did fluff a lot better.
Thank you for all your wonderful cooking ideas. I hope I can go to the Farmer’s Market in San Antonio this weekend and pick out some really fresh produce. Again, thank you IsabellyPepper for all your ideas. Keep up the great work, I enjoy it so much.

I’m one of Chris’ (Isabelle’s boyfriend) colleagues and just ate one of these cookies. Let me tell you, that is one heck of a chocolate chip cookie. Chris should be fatter than he is.

Comment on yoga cookies by isabellypepper

Yes! The original recipe calls for wheat, actually, but since I’m plagued by celiac disease I mix soy and spelt. You can’t use just soy flour, though, because it won’t hold the dough. But just using wheat will work perfectly. Thanks for the comment!!
