Fresh Corn Salad!



A summer staple!  All you need is fresh corn, peppers, maybe some onions...a little sour cream and you have a crunchy yummy summer salad!

I used Polano and Red Pepper but you could substitute most anything. Avacodo would be nice too!

I'm keeping this commentary simple...just like this salad!

Ingredients

6 ears of shucked fresh corn
1 Poblano pepper (seeded and chopped)
1/2 red pepper (seeded and chopped)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon sugar (add a bit more is  your corn is not very sweet)
Salt and Pepper

Mix it all together...chill for about 30 minutes to meld the flavor and done!

Homemade Focaccia Bread with Fresh Rosemary

I tried quite a few recipes for Focaccia before landing on this one. Some were to thin, too dry, too thick...this one is perfect!  It could be because you cook it in a small pool of olive oil and who wouldn't like that?  The extra oil in the pan makes a crusty bread and the olive oil adds a deep flavor but it does not taste oily at all.    The original recipe is from Ann Burrell, (funky, spikey blonde hair lady on Food TV)  I've been told if I would sprout about 3-4 inches, I would be a an Anne Burrell look alike...I would be okay with that!  I used a Kitchen Aid and dough hook, but you could certainly just go in with your hands.  Give it a long first knead though,  you want it smooth and silky. Ingredients 1 3/4 cups warm water 1 package active dry yeast 1 tablespoon sugar 5 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for kneading 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus coarse sea salt, for sprinkling 1/4 cup fresh Rosemary 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided Directions Combine the wa

Lasagna Soup!

I know, this looks like every other soup I love to make...but this one is different.  It' has a secret....a yummy, gooey secret.  Shhhh, come closer, let me whisper in your ear...it's called YUM!  A scoop of yummy, gooey goodness lies underneath the quiet tomatoey exterior and it is heaven my friends. I can hardly wait wait for my fellow soupateer Jamie to try it.  She is hooked on my Gnocchi "crack soup" but I this might just become her new addiction!  Let me know Jamie! So what exactly is this secret yum you ask?  It is a scoop of ricotta cheese that has been mixed with parmesean,  a bit of oregano, salt and pepper. (make your own  ricotta if you have an extra 10 minutes).  You add a dollop to the bowl, ladle the soup over and top with mozzarella!  What kind of pasta?  For this photo I used broken up lasagna noodles and it worked pretty good but you might find it easier to use a rotini type pasta...up to you, you still get the same results. I recommend boiling the
