NOT THE PHONE BOX 📲📦🤓
MUCH love to all the teachers out there, especially Emerson’s amazing teachers over the years. We miss you when you’re away!
Subs, we see you. We know these kids act wild on your watch. Thanks for dealing with the crazy the best you can!

🌽 It’s CORN! 🌽 Emerson found a recipe for Corn Fritters he wanted to try. We don’t eat much corn in our house, especially when it’s not in season, but we encourage it when he wants to try something new! 🤩
The recipe we used didn’t quite work out for us, it was way toooooo wet. THAT’S OK! It happens, and if you have a good foundation in cooking, most misses can be salvaged. We added the egg and more flour, as per our version below. This isn’t exact, but it’s very close (we measure with our heart a lot).
Most of all, we had fun trying something new and the flavors were out of this world. Even Daddy liked them! Will definitely try again with sweet local corn this summer! ☀️
Fritters:
* 1½ cup corn, divided
* 1/2 c - 3/4 c AP flour
* 1 egg
* 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
* 4 scallions, chopped
* 1/4 c cilantro, finely chopped
* 1/2 c milk, or as needed
* 2 T mayonnaise
* 1/4 c shredded cheese
* 1 1/2 t lemon juice
* 1/2 t lemon zest
* 1 t smoked paprika
* 1/2 t black pepper
* 1 t cumin powder
* 1/2 t baking powder
* 1-2 T oil , for cooking
* salt, to taste
Divide corn in 2 halves, pulse in food processor until coarse (not mash like ours!), in a bowl mix the ingredients, adding milk slowly last, until you reach a think consistency. Heat oil and add batter in about 1/3 c round cakes. Gently turn and flatten as they cook. Cook 2-4 min on each side until golden and crispy. Add oil as you go if you need to.
Saucey dip:
* 2 tbsp mayonnaise
* 1 tbsp sour cream
* 1 tsp lemon juice
Mix and dip!

We finally tried out our sous vide style egg bite maker! 🥚These egg bites are delicious and easily customizable. You could add veggies and/or breakfast meat. For these, we just went basic for a quick and easy breakfast. 🍳
Tip: add cottage cheese and blend with your eggs to make them super fluffy! YUM!
For 9 bites, we used:
6 eggs
1/4 c cottage cheese
1/4 c plain Greek yogurt (we ran out of cottages cheese)
1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar
Salt & pepper to taste.

In eager anticipation of Buc-ee’s coming to North Carolina, Emerson has another review of a snack he got during a recent road trip: 🍉 Watermelon Cotton Candy! #bucees #northcarolina #roadtrip #dailyemerson
🤔 Settle it for us. Is Mom wrong?

Fruit cake gets a bad rap, but my Papa Julian’s fruitcake is delicious - and famous in at least 2 states. He makes these with love and gifts them to those he loves during the holidays. It was fun learning the recipe and how much goes into these cakes! I’d tell you, but it’s top secret! 🤐

The easiest Mac & Cheese ever! 🤩🥳
Only 5 ingredients and packed full of yummy goodness. We got this recipe a few years ago from my cousin and have used it for many parties ever since. It’s a crowd pleaser for kids and adults!
- Boil a box of elbow macaroni
- Cube 16 oz each of Colby, Monterey Jack, Velveeta, 12 TB butter
- Spray your slow cooker (trust)
Layer:
- Add 1/2 the mac
- Add a layer of cubed cheese and butter
- Add the rest of your macaroni, then layer with the rest of the cheese and butter
- Cook on high for 1 hour, then add 16 oz milk & stir
- Cook on high another hour
This recipe makes a ton, easily 12-15 as a side. Enjoy!
