Whats For Dinner Next Week 10-23-11

I sure am glad that you stopped by to help me out with the cooking project for our fall festival. I just love this time of the year when we have so many fun events in the area. There are festival's and carnival's and art and craft bazaar's. Today I am making pies for our fall festival, so I am happy to have some help. We can sit down and take a little break while we take a look at next weeks menu. If you haven't gone to my new face book page to like Miz Helen's Country Cottage, I sure would appreciate if you would, its on the side bar.

Recipe Tips From Miz Helen
I adjusted the seasons because we like a lot of spice.
Spice
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoon dried cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
Corn
I used roasted corn from my freezer. When we are roasting corn on the grill, we always make extra, cut it off the cob and freeze it. It is great to have for just this purpose.
I doubled this recipe and put the extra servings in the freezer. These will be great on one of those busy days when there is no time to cook.
