Corny – Southeast Texas is rice country, but I also have a long love affair with
corn. When I “found” a box of Jiffy cornbread mix in the pantry, a corn pudding
became the basis of a friend’s birthday meal. I used Green yogurt for sour
cream and we all loved the tang. My latest discovery is corn cobs done up in a
West Bend air fryer drawer. I simply can’t get over how easy this is. You can
flavor with Cajun, Mexican or Italian spices, and go from there. It’s crunchy
and sweet and I can’t get enough. So here’s a tip: When I first realized how
mayo-heavy Mexican street corn can be, I balked. I found that a smear of mayo
from those packets we all collect will cover many mini cobs for a little flavor
that goes a long way. Then pop them in the air fryer.
Once Again – Once Again just came out with sunflower or PB graham cracker sandwiches
that are great for break time, breakfast or with, one reviewer’s pick, wine.
The PB is simply the best I’ve had and I would not be surprised if the
sunflower version was even better, as it is “different.” But this line with the
racoon mascot will open up your eyes to various nut butters. www.oanb.com
Keep Going First Aid - The
Pepper family is making safety cool with stylish first aid kits with rainbows,
playground and sports aesthetics. In addition to this wrist-band, zipper bag
simply feeling good to grasp, imagine the confidence of knowing it’s jam-packed
with animal character bandages, packets of balm, burn gel and antibiotic plus
little tools. So this goes in cars, diaper and sports bags and bathrooms to
help with little boo boos. Getting a scraped knee when I was a kid seemed like
a mini doctor visit. We didn’t have cool packs of
just-what-you-need-when-you-need it that were so darned cute. I think kids will
be happy knowing a Keep Going product is within reach. Check out www.keepgoingfirstaid.com to survey this impressive selection. Totally giftable, too.
