After all, corn and beans have no real pronounced flavors… |

Southwestern Shell Pasta SaladChop, chop, chop and get your frustrations out making this pasta salad with south-of-the-border appeal. Choose your heat level by amount of peppers, hot sauce and chilies you add. This yields a generous bowl and serves 12-14. Make this ahead of time and chill ~ if you can wait and can keep everyone out too! |

Favorite Jam Bars for a Large GroupMost people make these with raspberry jam, but any one works. I like blackberry or apricot. This makes a lot of squares, but they will disappear. Cut recipe in half, if you're not baking for a large group, and use a 9x9 pan. |

Buttermilk Cornbread with Green Chilies and CheeseIt’s hard to stop at just one serving of this, so if you have a hungry crowd coming, double the recipe! I love to bake cornbread in a cast iron skillet to get that crispy crust, but a 9" square baking pan will make good cornbread too. |

Chuckwagon CornbreadBake this recipe in a baking pan or skillet. Add a bit more sugar, if you have a sweet tooth. If presentation isn't important, I usually pour the batter into an aluminum-lined pan for easy cleanup. To store leftovers, wrap in plastic, then foil, and refrigerate. This cornbread is very moist, so let cool a bit before slicing. |
