Esquites (Mexican Corn)

This recipe is pretty good even though I didn’t like it much when I first had it. Bu the second time, it was awesome. We had friends over and one of them had to have this recipe. We got it from Buns in my Oven,http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2012/08/21/esquites/ Here is what we did.

        Esquites (Mexican Corn)

5 ears corn on the cob

¼ cup butter

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1 Tablespoon mayo

1Tablespoon sour cream

juice of ½ lime

 ¼ cup feta, cheddar, Kraft, or whatever 

2 teaspoons chili powder (if using Indonesian chili powder, just a pinch or two)

salt and pepper

·         Slice the corn from the cob and set aside.

·         Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter.

·         Once the butter is melted, add the corn to the skillet and stir once.

·         Let corn sit undisturbed for about 5 mins, or til’ corn starts browning on bottom. Stir again and let corn sit til’ it begins popping a bit and is charred.

·         Place corn in a medium bowl and add mayo, sour cream and remaining ingredients. Toss to coat.

Mac'n'Cheese

One of my favorite foods is Mac’n’Cheese. This is what I always got at Cracker Barrel. I love making Mac’n’Cheese, I make it every Wednesday and Friday, but I never really had a recipe. Then one day we went to a friend’s house, and she made Mac’n’Cheese. It was soooo good so we asked her for the recipe. I have changed it just a hair. Here it is.

          Mac’n' Cheese

500g macaroni noodles

·         Add stick of butter. And stir til’ butter is melted.
