Double Corn & Green Chile Muffins

Double Corn & Green Chile Muffins by Salad Foodie

Whole kernel corn adds texture, flavor and moistness to ordinary cornmeal muffins. Add to that sharp cheddar cheese, green chiles plus your choice and amount of "heat" seasoning and you've a nice accompaniment to a bowl of beans, chili, or southwestern soup.

Chili and Cornbread Skillet Pie

Chili and Cornbread Skillet Pie by myra byanka

Bake your leftover chili into a delicious pie with a cornbread crust. You don't have to own a cast iron skillet to make this; it would just look better when serving.

Tex-Mex Tacos al Carbon

Tex-Mex Tacos al Carbon by myra byanka

Use marinated steak, skirt steak or flank steak (my fave) for these grilled beef tacos. Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas. If you like beef well-done, spring for rib-eye, as flank and skirt steak will toughen. Suggested Condiments: grilled scallions sour cream guacamole pico de gallo shredded lettuce shredded…

Easy Turkey Albondigas Soup by myra byanka

Albondigas are meatballs in Spanish. I use homemade chicken or turkey broth to prepare this soup, but canned works fine, too.

Shrimp Potato Salad

Shrimp Potato Salad by Robyn Savoie

Cool Shrimp Salad is made even more refreshing with the snap of fresh lime juice and cilantro. This would be a substantial luncheon dish, doubly welcome because it can be made ahead. I'm not a fan of cocktail shrimp, frozen or canned. I strongly suggest using fresh cooked or the pre-cooked frozen shrimp found in the seafood…
