baking......I'm glad you enjoy it. When I visit you can do all of the baking and your hunky DH can do all of the imu or grilling

What will I do??? Any and ALL prep work

Prep work is the BEST job...you can taste test all the ingredients. Yup that is his title grill master/imu pit boss. I always at him when someone else is grilling because he wants to take over so bad. He complains about how they are doing everything wrong. I wouldn't mind either cause he perfected the art. He's also awesome at smoking meats and fish! hmmmm... I think we need to do that soon again.

It's a wonder i'm not twice my size! LOL

Oh no, with corn, you are missing cojita and mayonesa!

Now that I think of it, there's a stand at this farmer's market i go to. they have esquite and I got so happy. Then I saw how they prepare it. With cheap mayo, Kraft parmasean, and hardly any chili. And not much caldo. The corn was kind of hard too.

I almost forgot about this recipe for grapes. I don't know why it's called a grape *salad*,it's more like a grape treat....My family loves this...

I double the recipe and save half in the freezer for later. That way I only have to clean the grapes and stir it in.....I've also used almond extract instead of the vanilla......


Grape Salad

2 lbs red and/or green seedless grapes
4 oz. sour cream
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
¼ c. sugar
½ tsp. vanilla, to taste
½ c. sweetened coconut
½ c. chopped walnuts (lightly toasted)

Wash and stem grapes. Drain well and set aside.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Gently beat in sour cream and vanilla, about 30 seconds. By hand, fold into grapes, use as little or as much as you like, fold in the coconut, and walnuts until blended. Place in large serving bowl to chill overnight.

Note: Recipe can be easily doubled. Can use light cream cheese and sour cream.

oh date walnut bread with cream cheese. Yum. When everyone in school was bringing ham and cheese sandwiches to school we had date nut bread with cream cheese. I think I am going to have to make some
