Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add corn kernels, season to taste with salt, toss once or twice, and cook without moving until charred on one side, about 2 minutes. Toss corn, stir, and repeat until charred on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Continue tossing and charring until well charred all over, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. **If you use canned corn: Add 2 to 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil to a sauté pan. Pour in the canned corn. Cook over medium heat until the corn turns a light brown color. It will take about five minutes for the corn to brown.
  3. Don’t stir the corn more than once. It can be tempting to stir but roasted corn should sit in the pan to cook. If you must stir the corn, let it sit for three minutes, stir it once, then let it sit until a light brown.
  4. In a serving bowl, toss corn with mayo, cotija, lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder. Season generously with salt.
  5. Top with more cotija, cilantro, and a sprinkle of chile powder.
Recipe Notes

This is really good!  Be careful with the chili powder, it matures after it sits, so it may not taste like enough to start with, but give it a bit first.

Feta really does work equally well.

If you eat this right away, ti's really good.  But if you let is sit for half hour or more, the chili powder really matures, and is a bit overpowering.  I changed the chili powder from the original recipe from 1 Tbsp to 1/2 Tbsp (1 1/2 tsp), and then I would suggest sprinkling just a bit over top on your plate.  Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Make the chipotle-honey salsa: Heat the broiler. In a roasting pan, combine the tomatoes with the garlic and onion, then toss with the oil and season with salt. Broil, turning the vegetables as needed, until lightly blackened all over, about 6 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Transfer the vegetables to a food processor along with the honey, vinegar, cilantro, and chiles and adobo sauce and pulse until smooth.
  2. Make the latkes: In a large bowl, combine the all 5 cheese with the matzo meal, butter and eggs and then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Using a 1-inch ice cream scoop, portion out balls of cheese, roll them in your hands to smooth, then coat them in the bread crumbs.
  3. Pour enough oil into a 6-qt. Dutch oven to come 2 inches up the side and heat to 350° on a deep-fry thermometer. Working with 6 balls at a time, add the latkes to the oil and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the latkes on paper towels and serve immediately with the chipotle-honey salsa.

Recipe Notes

Original recipe:  http://365daysofeasyrecipes.com/cucumber-radish-pickled-salad/

I made this recipe because - oddly enough for me - I had leftover cucumber and radishes, and wanted something kind of light to go with lasagna, so roasting the radishes wasn't really working for me.

I used a yellow onion for mine because that's what I had on hand, but the original recipe calls for a red onion, and that would give a really nice color contrast, but I don't think there is a huge difference in flavor between yellow and red.  Maybe a little more punchy, so maybe use a small yellow onion instead of a medium red onion.

It doesn't appear that there is enough liquid for the veggies, so I went in after about an hour and tossed it again, and there was more liquid.  So I part of the minimum 2 hour time to sit is to let all the moisture come out and coat everything well.  But it tastes amazing - Steve really liked it!

Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a 9" square baking dish. I suggest placing the pan on a baking sheet to bake, covered, for 1 hour. Remove cover and continue baking for another hour.
  3. Prolly want to give a few minutes to cool a bit before eating.
  4. 1 serving is ~100g, about 3/4C.
Recipe Notes

Feel free to add barely cooked bacon pieces, and you can also use fresh diced onion and garlic, but I like that you can toss this together in just a few minutes with stuff that I at least usually have on hand all the time.  Enjoy!

Thanks, dad, for showing me how to make baked beans!  I've only built on what you showed me.

Hot Baked Cinnamon Apples

 Hot Baked Cinnamon Apples
These cinnamon apples taste like a cobbler or pie without the crust. I was looking for a recipe for Cinnamon apples and all I could find were recipes for baking the whole apple - not what I wanted. After much searching I finally came across this recipe - I unfortunately cannot remember the site. It can easily be reduced to 2 or 3 apples, just watch it as it cooks. We serve this over ice cream and it is delicious. It can also be used on pancakes, waffles, or all by itself.
