Sweet corn brushed with Cajun butter and a little heat. Simple, messy, delicious.

👨‍🍳 Cajun Corn on the Cob

4 ears of corn, husked
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
4 Tbsp mayonnaise
⅓ cup sour cream (or Mexican crema)
1 ½ tsp Cajun spice
1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
½ cup feta or Cotija cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp chipotle or chili powder (optional, for extra heat)

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, half the Cajun spice, half the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place each cob on foil, brush generously with spice-oil mixture, then wrap tightly.
Place foil-wrapped corn on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 30 minutes.
For softer corn, remove after 30 minutes, brush again with seasoning, and bake another 20–25 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, remaining Cajun spice, remaining paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Remove baked corn, unwrap, and (optional) brush again with leftover oil mixture.
Brush generously with mayo sauce.
For extra flavor, char lightly on a grill pan until slightly golden (optional).
Sprinkle with crumbled feta or Cotija, chopped cilantro, a dusting of Cajun spice (and chipotle powder if desired).
Serve warm with lime wedges.

👨🏻‍🍳 Honey BBQ Bacon Jack Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 slices applewood smoked bacon

Tender cabbage, savory filling, rich tomato sauce... a timeless comfort dish that never goes out of style.

👨‍🍳Old Fashioned Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

1 medium head cabbage (3 pounds)
1/2 pound uncooked ground beef
1/2 pound uncooked ground pork
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce, divided
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon snipped fresh dill or dill w**d
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Cook cabbage in boiling water just until outer leaves pull away easily from head. Set aside 12 large leaves for rolls. In a small bowl, combine the beef, pork, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, onion, rice, parsley, salt, dill and cayenne; mix well.
Cut out the thick vein from the bottom of each leaf, making a V-shaped cut. Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture on a cabbage leaf; overlap cut ends of leaf. Fold in sides. Beginning from the cut end, roll up. Repeat.
Slice the remaining cabbage; place in a Dutch oven. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam side down over sliced cabbage. Combine the tomatoes, sugar and remaining tomato sauce; pour over the rolls. Cover and bake at 350° until cabbage rolls are tender, 1-1/2 hours.
