Hot Cheesy Corn Dip





I love to have company over and make lots of appetizers. I am always trying to find new ones that everyone will enjoy. I tried this and loved it, simply addicting. The great thing about it is that during the summer when the corn is super sweet you use it fresh, but the rest of the year you can use canned and frozen corn. With the blend of the charred corn, the melted bubbly cheese and the kick with the jalapeño it came out perfect.


Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons butter ( divided)
2 cups of corn ( fresh, frozen, or canned)
1/2 cup red or yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
2 green onions, sliced
1 jalapeño, diced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Salt and Pepper, Cayenne Pepper to taste


Instructions: 

1. In a sauté pan over medium-high melt 1 tablespoon butter and sauté the corn until it starts to turn a golden brown about 5 minutes. Remove the corn and set aside.
2. In the same pan melt the other tablespoon of butter and add the green onion, jalapeño, and garlic and cook until only for 2-3 minutes
3. In a medium bowl combine the corn, onions, peppers, garlic, jalapeño, mayonnaise, cheeses, cayenne, salt and pepper, ( Reserve some of the cheese to put on top)
4. Pour into a baking dish ( I used a 9x9) and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese
5. Bake in a 350 degree oven until bubbling on the sides and golden brown on top about 15-20 minutes. Serve while warm with tortilla chips. Enjoy!!!

Tips on Winterizing Your Chicken Coop And Caring For The Chickens










Giving your chickens a nice feeing of warm cooked oatmeal in the morning and cracked corn before bed gives them something to digest during the night keeping them warmer. And they do love these treats.
Just like humans, chickens can and do get bored and stir crazy, especially in the winter months. They love it when I hang a head of cabbage or romain lettuce on a string in the coop. They go wild pecking at it while it bobs around. It makes me feel happy that i am trying to do something for them to keep them busy.
If you are worried about your girls not having enough space in the coop, you can build a kind of cold frame or greenhouse addition to your coop, covering it in clear plastic. They will wander out into it and have a bit more space on nice days, and giving them needed time out of the coop.

In the coldest winter climates, you may find that breeds with large combs and wattles are prone to frostbite. To protect them, you can smear their combs and wattles with petroleum jelly. However, if your chickens do get frostbite, it is usually just the tips of the combs that are affected, and they don’t seem to be any worse for the wear - but it can look a little icky.
Chickens don’t like snow.Generally speaking, once temperatures are in the 20 degree F range, chickens (mine, anyway) won’t walk out onto snow. You can scatter hay or straw on the ground and this will make it more palatable for them. And I find when it’s in the low 30s, they don’t seem to mind walking on the snow as much.
Check the health of your birds. Any health issues will be exacerbated by the cold weather. Treat any ailments, keep waterers and feeders topped off so their immune systems are at their peak.

Check out Nutrena Feed, that is the brand I use for everything for my chickens.
Things to do:
Clean and disinfect feeders, waterers and perches
- Healthy birds require a clean environment. Wash away any microorganisms that have grown happy in the warm weather.
- Perches and laying boxes are often forgotten during cleaning. Birds spend a lot of time in these places and bacteria are plentiful! Don’t forget these spots.
Muck out and deep-bed your coop
- Remove the bedding you use in your coop and replace with a thick layer of pine shavings, sawdust or straw.
- Pile the bedding up against the walls or leave a few bales of straw in your coop so if you need to remove some bedding during the winter during cleaning, you don’t have to haul fresh bedding in.
- Piles of straw provide a warm place for chickens to cuddle through the coldest weather.
- Don’t forget to place straw or other bedding in the nesting boxes. Soft, dried grass makes a great (free!) nest that protects eggs from cracking.
Feed and supplement your birds correctly- Chickens need a source of calcium and protein all year, so don’t neglect providing oyster shells in winter.
- To stimulate the scratching instinct and keep birds entertained, provide scratch grains periodically.
- To beat boredom, consider adding a Scratch Block to the coop for a healthy distraction!
Check for drafts
- Drafts can cause respiratory problems and sickness in your flock.
- Check for drafts where your chickens roost and spend most of their time when in the coop.
- Make any repairs to your chickens’ house while the weather is still fair.
Set up any heat lamps and water heaters
-  Develop a plan so your chickens have access to fresh, unfrozen water 24 hours a day.
- Frozen water isn’t any fun. Set up your heating devices early so you’re prepared and safe.

Homemade Pizza






Guess what for dinner at our ouse tonight!!!Yes pizza. I usually make pizza on Fridays but I was just in the mood for it tonight. Once you make this pizza recipe you will not be ordering out as much anymore..I promise you!!! Enjoy..




This recipes makes 2 large pizzas or 2 medium

For the sauce:
  
2 cans favorite crushed tomato sauce ( 28 ounce)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon oregano
4 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
2 finely diced garlic cloves
salt and pepper
1 Tablespoon Parsley
Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top of pizza

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a saucepan and cook for 15 minutes

Toppings:

3 ( 8 ounce bags shredded mozzarella cheese) 1 ( 8 ounce per pizza)
pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, etc. Your favorite toppings  


Ingredients:

1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Extra-virgin or regular olive oil
3 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Directions:


In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water; stir gently to dissolve. Let the mixture stand until the yeast comes alive and starts to foam, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Turn the mixer on low and add the salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the flour, a little at a time, mixing at the lowest speed until all the flour has been incorporated. When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium.Get a feel for the dough by squeezing a small amount together: if it's crumbly, add more water; if it's sticky, add more flour - 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix until the dough gathers into a ball, this should take about 5 minutes.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a few times; kneading until it's smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a round and place in a lightly oiled bowl, turn it over to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot (i.e. over a gas pilot light) until doubled in size, about 1 hour. 

Once the dough is ready turn it out onto a lightly floured counter. Roll and stretch the dough and divide into 3 equal pieces. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes so it will be easier to roll out.

Roll or pat out a piece of dough into a 12 inch circle, I like mine thin, you can make as thin or thick as you desire.Dust a pizza paddle with flour and slide it under the pizza dough. Brush the crust with a thin layer of olive oil, and place in a 500 degree oven for just 3 minutes just to cook the crust a little bit. Watch for bubbles, if you see any, pierce with a fork .Take out of the oven and layer the sauce, cheese and any toppings you desire.Then put back on pizza stone for 7-10 minutes depending on how crisp you like your pizza.
