Hey! Where's My Feet?

Just over a week ago I was at Rudy's BBQ in Leon Springs TX feasting on beef brisket and the best tasting cream corn I've ever had!  I knew I wasn't going to be able to get any safely back to MI with me so I took it as a challenge to figure it out and make my own version.  I'd tried making cream corn once before like some character did on one of those cooking shows but I didn't have the patience... and being that today was a lazy day - it was cream corn by crock pot! Now I don't know if this tastes like Rudy's because I don't have any Rudy's immediately available for comparison but I will tell you... this turned out to be some damn good cream corn if I do say so myself!  The secret ingredient (thank you Danette for the tip) is cream cheese.  I knew I was gonna have to "cream" it up but wasn't sure what to use and I'll be darned if the cream cheese wasn't it!  The hard part came in getting the ratio right, which I didn't b

BACON! BACON! BACON!  Who doesn't love bacon?  They have Bacon Camp, Bacon Fest, Baconaise, bacon makes everything better!  The basic low down... bacon is cured meat from several cuts of a pig.  If you want more history on bacon you can check Wikipedia or just Google it... cause this here ain't about to be a term paper on bacon.  I just wanna share my love of it and the latest recipe experiment I tried out... BACON JAM!!!  That's right, I said Bacon Jam.  Of course I first came across this mighty invention via Pinterest... did a little research, checked out several recipe versions and decided on this one here... Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces 2 medium yellow onions, diced small 3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 3/4 cup brewed coffee Directions In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high, stirring occasio

Normally I make these things with a pound each of ground sausage and ground beef but since I've been trying to eat all healthy and what not I decided to change it up a bit.  Of course you know it's going to involve chicken, because apparently poultry is the almighty meat of healthy eats and you know what else that means... the queen of canned chicken has once again risen to the occasion.  MmmHmmm Like always, there's no measuring involved... just dumping with love.  What you'll need is.... 2 12.5oz cans of chicken drained, rinsed and shredded 1 can of bean sprouts 1 medium onion 1 pkg of tri-color coleslaw mix some Chinese 5 spice Teriyaki sauce/marinade Chop up your onion fairly fine... saute in a LITTLE olive oil and or butter... actually you'll need to add quite a bit of one of those because you won't have the drippings/grease from the sausage/beef I normally use.  Anywho... saute that up, mix in the bean sprouts and chicken like this here...
