Corndogs!

By
Though we aren't watching the SuperBowl, I decided to make a SuperBowl-worthy dinner: corndogs and chili.  I figured that the cream canoe baking pan I bought to make Twinkies would be perfect!

I started with some mini hotdogs from WholeFoods.  I couldn't pass up this self-promotion: "uncured beef hotdogs (no added nitrates or nitrites) made with sustainable family-farmed beef, a dash of  gentle seasonings, and lots of honest yumminess."


Then I made some cornbread...


  • 1/2 C  butter, softened

  • 2/3 C organic granulated sugar  

  • 1/4 C honey

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 t salt

  • 1 1/2 C white whole wheat flour

  • 3/4 C yellow cornmeal

  • 1/2 t baking powder

  • 1/2 C milk

  • 3/4 C corn kernels


    • Blend all the wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.  Add the honey, eggs, milk and mix till just moistened.  Add the corn kernels.  Fill the canoe baking hollows halfway with cornbread batter and lay the mini hotdogs inside.  Cover with batter and bake at 350 degrees till the cornbread is firm and begining to brown.

    Serve with ketchup and mustard.

    Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

    By
    photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

    Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

    By
    As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
