Mexican Street Corn Dip

I recently made this dip for Super Bowl Sunday, and I'm just now getting around to posting it. It's a real winner. It's a spicy dip, but you have the ability to adjust the level of spiciness to your tastes by adjusting the amount of Sriracha and/or omitting the jalapeno.

Because it has mayo and sour cream as the base to calm down the spicy components, it's easy to customize this recipe to suit your family's tastes.  

Mexican Street Corn Dip

15.25 oz can whole kernel corn, drained

15.25 oz can fiesta whole kernel corn (or Southwest corn), drained

2. Add feta cheese, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Mix well.

Kitchen Tips at Your Fingertips

Today I bring you a handy tip that I've used for many years. Many moons ago, I received a promotional calendar in the mail for my local insurance company.

It was a very small magnetic calendar that you're supposed to hang on your refrigerator and fondly recall all the good times you've had with your insurance person. What? Huh???

Anyhoot, as I was walking it over to the trash can, I noticed that it had kitchen measurement conversions printed on the cardboard backing. So, I cut off the back part and taped it to the inside of my kitchen cabinet. :-) Now that's good times!

Since I can't personally send each one of you an magnetic insurance calendar circa 2010, but because I love you from the bottom of my heart, I've rounded up a few kitchen tips that would be equally as helpful for you to print and tape to the inside of your kitchen cabinet for easy reference.

You might be asking yourself did she REALLY just TAPE these into her cabinet? I did. 

With Scotch tape? Yep. 

You mean you didn't frame them in an upcycled vintage frame that had been meticulously painted with Annie Sloan Chalk paint, or put a bird on them, or hand write the information onto a chalkboard using your best and swirliest calligraphy handwriting, or sprinkle glitter on them, or print them on burlap and meticulously fray the edges? Nope.

You see, because these will be on the INSIDE of your cabinet, it doesn't really matter all that much how schmancy they look. You will benefit from having the information at your fingertips and not having to Google it every time you start making a recipe. If YOU want to do any of the aforementioned things to these, hey knock yourself out! But sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.

Now that your kitchen is FULLY prepared for maximum cooking and baking possibilities, please make sure to swing by our recipes section to pick out some new recipes to try. You'll be glad you did!
