Are your cupcakes missing a little something?

I found some really cute cupcake liners at Bake it Pretty.  I love the mini polka dot papers.

How to avoid runaway corn kernels

Here's a tip:  When cutting corn off the cob, like for Summer Corn and Nectarine Salsa, the kernels often go haywire, scattering all over the place.  You can keep them all contained by using a bundt pan.  Simply place the tip of the corn cob in the center hole and shave away.  The kernels will fall inside of the pan instead of the floor.

National Fried Chicken Day

It's National Fried Chicken Day!  I think I'll celebrate with this recipe tonight. 

Oven Fried Chicken

It's definitely one of my favorites that I've made many times.  Makes quite a mess, but it's worth it.  I'm making mine with chicken tenders which is faster and less messy...and preferred by the one I'm cooking it for.

And here's a tip that will keep you from buying a whole carton of buttermilk for the small amount you need here or in any other recipe:  For every 1 cup of buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk, and let it stand for about 10 minutes.
