Corn Nuggets

As I am writing this my tummy is growling. I spent the day going through my old laptop and finding recipes I had collected. Being that I am originally from up north I had never eaten these before. Then I had moved to Jacksonville. Oh the foods I ate and loved! One BBQ place we went to alot had these as their appetizer. Oh so good with ranch dressing. Yes you have to freeze these. DO NOT skip this step!! That's how they stay together when you fry them. Gives these a try and tell me how they came out.

CORN NUGGETS
Ingredients:
1 (11 ounce) can creamed corn
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg white
2 tablespoons milk
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions:
In a medium bowl, stir together the creamed corn and drained whole kernel corn. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture onto the sheet, and freeze until firm, about 3 hours. Heat one inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a large deep skillet, or fill a deep-fryer with oil as directed by the manufacturer. Mix together the cornmeal, flour, egg white, milk, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Dip frozen corn nuggets in the batter, and quickly fry in hot oil until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Classic Home Style Macaroni Salad

I am all for trying new things. Whenever I go out to eat will look over the menu and decide on something new. Don't be afraid! But there are times when just a good ole classic dish is what me and my family are craving for. Here is a simple macaroni salad that I know your family will enjoy.

CLASSIC HOME STYLE MACARONI SALAD

2 cups of macaroni pasta
1 red bell pepper diced
2 stalks of celery diced
1/2 of a red onion diced
1/2 cup of mayo
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons of white vinegar
2 teaspoons of yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of black pepper

Cook your pasta according to the directions of the package. Drain and run under cold water. This stops it from cooking more and you do not want to mix mayo with hot pasta. Cold pasta makes the dressing stick better and it won't be absorbed into the pasta. In a large bowl stir the ingredients together and chill for a few hours. If the pasta seems a little dry then add a little bit of mayo. A spoonful at a time. This makes 8-12 servings. Enjoy!!
