Fish Fillets or Sticks with Buffa-Tar Sauce

If you’ve been around Pig In Mud for a while you probably noticed I don’t post fish as a general rule. But I’m sure you noticed I like hot sauce:@) And the star of this store bought fish fillet meal for lunch is the Buffa-Tar Sauce. I'm sure this isn't a new idea, but I didn't even bother looking around... Basically a 2:1:1/2 ratio of mayo to hot sauce to relish. And you can spice it up even more if you happen to have some Homemade Jalapeno Relish on-hand. Good stuff folks.

A ~very nice~ lunch:@)

And perfect for Fish Fridays...

Buffa-Tar Sauce

Seriously easy…

2 parts mayonnaise, 1 part hot sauce, 1/2 part any relish you like.

Stir and serve with seafood, french fries, tator tots, etc.

Eat well and have a happy day:@)

Buffalo Chicken Popper Tortilla Bowls -Appetizer

I love the tortilla chips that are shaped as little bowls. They make fun individual snacks, and um.. Ensure no double dipping:@) They come in national brand names, and even Walmart's Great Value offers these chips for about $2 a bag. I whipped up a super simple snack, Buffalo Chicken Popper Tortilla Bowls. Pepper Jack cheese, shredded cooked chicken and your favorite buffalo sauce. I used the oven for these, they can be heated up on the grill too, we're only aiming to melt the cheese.

Sometimes I just drop a cheese cube in each one,

add some chicken,

and shake Frank's on top.

If making for others or a party,

I'd mix the chicken and hot sauce before filling the bowls.

The beauty of this is,

you can make as many,

or as few, as you'd like:@)

Ummm, melty cheese...

The easiest way to fill the bowls

would be to mix shredded cheese and chicken

with the hot sauce first.

Buffalo Chicken Popper Tortilla Bowls

• For each tortilla:

1. Add cube of pepper jack cheese.
2. Mix shredded chicken with your favorite hot sauce.
3. Stuff the bowls with chicken.
4. Alternately: Mix shredded cheese and shredded chicken with hot sauce and fill bowls.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10  minutes, or until cheese has melted. -Or- Place on disposable foil pan, place on heated grill over indirect heat for about 10 minutes.
6. Add extra shake of hot sauce out of the oven.
7. Garnish with chives if desired.
8. Serve with pickled jalapenos.

Frank's Hot Sauce Pumpkin Seeds

Last year I carved a small pumpkin and ended up with 1/2 C of seeds... In keeping with my things don't have to be complicated theme, these Frank's Hot Sauce Pumpkin Seeds were simply baked ~low and slow~ with literally nothing except the hot sauce and salt. They dried out perfectly and were a nice spicy snack:@) Low carb too, in case that's of interest to you. Don't toss those seeds folks!

Frank's Hot Sauce Pumpkin Seeds

For each 1/2 C pumpkin seeds, cleaned, washed and dried with paper towels:

1 Tblsp Frank's Hot Sauce

1/4 tsp table salt

1. Spread seeds onto baking sheet in single layer.
2. Bake at 275 degrees for 10 minutes.
3. Remove from oven, stir, make a pile in center of baking sheet. 
4. Drizzle with hot sauce, mix well. Sprinkle on salt, mix well.
5. Return to oven for 30 minutes, stirring twice. At this point I broke up any that were stuck together. Return to oven until dry and crunchy, check every 10 minutes. Mine only took the extra 10.
6. Cool completely, store in airtight container.

Enjoy a snack and have a happy day:@)

Honey Buffalo Meatballs -Little Dipper Crock Pot or Larger Slow Cooker

Do you know what time it is folks? Yep, it's ~~time for some football~~:@) I've been looking for fun new snacks and munchies to try, and these Honey Buffalo Meatballs were fantastic! And couldn't be easier if you choose to use frozen meatballs. But don't hesitate to whip up your favorite recipe and simply add them to the sauce. I used my Little Dipper Crock Pot, recipe is easily increased for a larger crowd. Honestly, I think the sauce ratio below would be good for up to 1lb of meatballs. But believe me, you'll want lots of sauce for dipping!

I forgot to add my Eagles green food pick...

But you get the idea:@)

Sweet, spicy hot, and very sticky!

Unlike the weather, which has just been, um... 

Hot and sticky...

Honey Buffalo Meatballs

frozen meatballs-I used 7 oz

1/4 C Frank's Hot Sauce, or your favorite

2 tsp cornstarch

1/4 C honey

1/4 C brown sugar

1. Add meatballs to slow cooker.
2. Mix hot sauce and cornstarch until smooth.
3. Stir in honey and brown sugar. Pour over meatballs.
4. Place towel or paper towels under lid, cover and cook in Little Dipper for approximately 2.5-3 hours, or until hot. If using larger slow cooker, at least 2.5 hours on high, approximately 4 hours on low.

6. Serve with fun food picks.

Frank's Red Hot Sauce Fried Green Tomatoes

I walked outside to check on the garden and found a heavy, beautiful green tomato sitting on the ground-huh??? So I brought it in and decided to try some Frank's Red Hot Sauce Fried Green Tomatoes:@) I think pretty much everyone would tell you, the main flavor in fried tomatoes is the crust... The hot sauce adds a little tang, and of course I suggest serving them with some blue cheese dressing for dipping, and the bottle of Frank's on the table. And yes, I did shake the Frank's on top of the dressing before eating.

The beauty I found on the ground:

Frank's Red Hot Sauce Fried Green Tomatoes

Approximately for a big 3-4" green tomato:

2 Tblsp A/P flour

2 Tblsp cornmeal

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp salt-I used Lawry's seasoned salt

few hearty grinds black pepper

vegetable oil for frying

1 Tblsp milk or half and half

1 Tblsp Frank's Hot Sauce

Blue cheese dressing and more hot sauce for serving

1. Mix flour, cornmeal, garlic, onion, salt and pepper in shallow bowl.
2. Mix half and half and hot sauce is smaller shallow bowl.
3. In skillet, bring enough oil to medium heat, hot enough for frying.
4. Cut tomato into 1/2-ish slices.
5. Dip in milk/hot sauce mixture, dredge in flour mixture.
6. Carefully add to skillet, don't crowd the slices.
7. Let cook until deep golden brown.
8. Flip to other side, cook until deep golden brown.
9. Remove from oil with tongs, let oil drip off, add slices to plate.
10. Serve with blue cheese dressing and extra Frank's Hot Sauce.

Instant Pot Taco Chicken Pasta Dinner -One Pot Dump Recipe

Sometimes I feel like I need a meal that's super easy and fast. I've seen a lot of 'dump' recipes for slow cookers, and used that as inspiration. I had a thawed boneless chicken breast and decided to try a quick, "toss everything into the ♥Instant Pot pressure cooker, and see how it turns out" meal... I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised! This Taco Chicken Pasta Dinner came together in minutes, and was a mildly spiced, hearty meal. Use any beans you have on-hand and there's wiggle room with the amount of chicken... I like to cut back on meat whenever I'm using beans. Don't hesitate to try this one folks, it's not gourmet, but a nice pantry item meal idea to tuck away for when needed:@)

Perfect as is, or it can be topped with shredded cheese, 

green onions, black olives, and/or sour cream. 

Can serve with corn bread, tortilla chips, or ideally, a nice green salad.

Oh and, hot sauce on the side is always a good idea:@)

Taco Chicken Pasta Dinner

1 C elbow macaroni, can use some whole wheat

up to 1 lb chicken, thawed, cut into bite size pieces-I used half of a large boneless breast

1 envelope taco seasoning

15 oz beans, black beans, kidney beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed

15 oz can corn, drained, or up to 2 C frozen corn, thawed

10 oz can tomatoes with chiles, Rotel or store brand, use the liquid

1 C water

Anything you'd like to serve with it

1. Add macaroni to vessel first.
2. Add raw chicken over pasta.
3. Sprinkle everything with taco seasoning.
4. Pour in beans, corn and tomatoes with juice.
5. Add water.
6. Choose manual setting, 4 minutes, automatic release when done.
7. Stir, let sit for about 10 minutes so pasta absorbs some of the liquid, serve in bowls with toppings as desired.

Eat well and have a happy day:@)

Slow Cooker Holiday Creamy Mixed Vegetable Casserole & Barbie Clothes at the stores...

Looking for something that's a little different than green bean casserole, and also has the added bonus of freeing up oven space, or can easily be taken as your contribution to dinner? This Holiday Creamy Mixed Vegetable Casserole is a very flavorful slow cooker side dish with a hint of thyme. Perfect for serving buffet style from the Crock Pot so it will still be warm as folks go back for seconds:@) Tip: Dollar Tree sells 3 oz packs of French fried onions at the holidays. A good size for recipes and to ensure they are always fresh when needed. 

I love-love-love these M&M Cookie Stadium Kits at Walmart! And while it may take a few extra packs... I'd have to fill the stands in team colored M&M's:@) This would be a fun Christmas gift. It's a kid friendly activity and there will still be lots of football after the holidays.

I love to look for Christmas ornaments that are 1:6 scale and fit in Barbie's (and Ken's) world! This year Kohl's has these really cute Santa pants with a hat. While the waist isn't fitted snugly, most 1:6 scale male dolls can wear them because they have suspenders. And of course you could add a little snap to the back if desired. This is another quick deconstructing craft, the hardest part is pulling apart some hot glue. But in the end, Ken will be one of the cutest Santa's at the North Pole:@) 

The hat has a couple holly leaves and berries. There was a candy cane too, but I pulled that off. You can never have too many doll size Santa hats😎

The ornament I started with:

The back:

Ken says he likes wearing long shorts...

It's Christmastime in warmer areas too!

Isn't he from California?

And folks always look for the Target Ugly Christmas Sweater ornaments. These two are from 2021. Simply remove from hanger and pull over the doll's head. But, do be prepared to remove some fuzzies from hair:@)

And finally, I say it all the time folks, You know your crowd... I'm guessing if you're headed to Thanksgiving dinner and the host has the turkey in the smoker, or plans to deep fry it... Or the after dinner, late football game snack is wings... This just ~might~ be a welcome hostess gift:@)

Yes , that's a half gallon of hot sauce at Walmart!

Buy it when you see it and have a great weekend:@)

Saturday ReView: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds & Ken's Christmas Vest -Free Barbie Pattern

I'm guessing a few of us will be carving Jack-O-Lanterns this weekend:@) May I suggest making a nice, natural treat with the seeds. I'm sharing two recipes showing How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds. One flavor is Sweet Heat with coconut oil, cinnamon, sugar and hot sauce. The other is a Smoked Paprika version. Both are easy to make and very good!

I saw these cute vests that were intended to be wrapped around wine bottles as Christmas gift decorations, and I thought they would make great Holiday Vests for Ken. Depending upon how detailed you'd like to make it look, this is a quick no-hem craft that has a no-sew option. I chose to make mine totally with hot glue to see how that would look. Simply cut one from felt, add a little bow tie and some buttons... And Ken looks like he's ready to be the life of the party:@) 

What I did:

1. Fold felt in half, using the fold as the neckline, pin pattern in place, cut one.
2. Slightly overlap the front (like you're buttoning a shirt), sew or glue closed.
3. Sew or glue buttons onto overlapping side.
4. Sew or glue little bow tie (mine was from the craft store).
5. Sew or glue ribbon to each side so it can be tied behind doll's back.
6. Optional: Glue small piece of white or contrasting colored fabric, ribbon or ruffle to top backside of front. I added the red check for some seasonal color contrast.
7. Optional: Sew all the way around the vest making it look like a neat seam.
8. Optional: Create "pockets" by either gluing contrasting felt on, or drawing them with a Sharpie.
9. Optional: Sew or glue small piece of chain to each pocket.
10. Optional: Now, this vest sticks up around the doll's neck... If you want it to lay flatter, simply cut it apart at the middle of the back of the neck and hot glue some velcro for closure.

Small Barbie size craft bows:

Cute for any occasion:

My vest inspiration:

Ken says it's never too early to start planning for the holidays😎

Oh and, if you want to make a few for wine bottle gifts,

that's fun too😉

Saturday Snippets: Trash Day Blow Mold, Thrifted Nativity & Guiltless Buffalo Chicken

I was taking a walk one trash day and came across this 44" blow mold on the curb! A ghost holding a jack-o-lantern, I tucked it under my arm and schlepped it all the way home... Quite the sight I'm sure:@)  The electrical works fine, and it even came with a light bulb. This won't be it's Halloween home, that's TBD, I just placed it in the front bed for a quick pic. 

Have your thrift stores started putting out Christmas items yet?

Yep, mine did last weekend:@)

I found this little plastic nativity that could be set out anywhere,

or added to the Christmas tree as an ornament.

The shape, color and starbursts on the sides scream 1950-60's to me.

$1, the raised stamp says Made In Italy.

It could be used as a decoration in Barbie's world too...

And if you love Buffalo Chicken and Wings...

May I suggest this guilt free version HERE-really good stuff folks!

Wishing you a weekend of good food and fun finds:@)

Sweet, Spicy and Fruity Kielbasa Appetizer

Do you know what season it is? It's here folks... Football Season:@) Yep, it's time to que up some great appys and the first offering this year will be these Sweet, Spicy and Fruity Kielbasa Bites, and this is a good one! I believe kielbasa is a little different and not something folks generally think of as an appetizer, so if you find a recipe you like, it might just become your signature party dish... The maraschino cherries really makes this different (and perfect for the holidays too). Another thing to love, it can be made on the stove top and kept warm in a slow cooker. Don't hesitate to try this folks, I think you'll be happy.

The only thing I'd do differently,

cut all of the cherries in half so there are more for each bite.

Recipe easily scaled down.

Sweet and Fruity Kielbasa Appetizer-from All Recipes

(2) 16 oz packages Kielbasa, cut into 1/2-1" pieces

16 oz bottle BBQ sauce

1/4 C grape jelly

15 oz can pineapple chunks, drained

4 oz jar maraschino cherries, drained

1 Tblsp crushed red pepper flakes-I just added a few shakes

2 dashes hot sauce

1. Brown Kielbasa, can use a little oil if desired.
2. Add everything else and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Serve as an appetizer with fun food picks, or over rice for dinner-with something green on the side, of course:@)

How to Make Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers & what makes it a jalapeno popper?

I've made a ton of stuffed jalapenos here on the blog, love them! My no-heat jalapeno plant is still ~very~ happy and truly overachieving... So I decided to treat myself to some Air Fryer Poppers for lunch one day. This started me thinking, with so many recipes and variations out there, what's the difference between a stuffed 'peno and a popper? To me, it comes down to one thing, cream cheese. We can make a stuffed pepper with anything we'd like, but add a little cream cheese to a jalapeno, and it's a party:@) Here's what I do to make poppers that are a tad healthier and a tad lighter in calories, yet still taste great! No breading, no deep frying, and this will work with an air fryer, or in the oven if you don't have one (although the oven might take a little longer to bake.)

I used my ♥Instant Pot with the Mealthy Air Fryer Lid.

✉Click HERE to sign up for email notifications!

Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers

• Preheat air fryer at 400 degrees while preparing peppers.
• Slice peppers in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membrane if desired. A melon baller works great!
• Place on air fryer rack cut side up. Bake at 400 degrees for 3-4 minutes. 3 if you like them a little firmer, 4 softer.
• Remove from air fryer, place cut side down on paper towel to drain, and allow to cool until you can handle them.
• At this point I added some tin foil to my baking rack, I didn't want cheese to melt all over...
• Mix softened cream cheese with other shredded cheeses if desired, I like cheddar. Spread the cheese inside the pepper.
• Add protein of choice if desired, I added some small diced leftover buffalo chicken. (You could mix the meat in with the cheese too, either or.)
• Top with more shredded cheese.
• Sprinkle with panko or regular bread crumbs if desired. I did not use them this time.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 3 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Serve with bleu cheese or ranch dressing, hot sauce, celery sticks, etc.

Buffalo Shredded Pork Stuffed Jalapenos with Celery and Blue Cheese Dressing & New Jalapeno Plant

~Many years ago~ when I started my stuffed jalapeno series for the blog, I simply doused chicken with hot sauce and baked some 'penos... These Buffalo Shredded Pork Stuffed Jalapenos call for just a couple more ingredients and are a very nice variation. Another thing I tried, notice the disposable tray? Yep, I cooked these on the grill:@) My pork was just some very inexpensive "pork cubes" I picked up at the supermarket and cooked in the Crock Pot until it reached shredable stage. Then froze it flat in a zip top bag, that way I could still break off only enough as I needed at one time.

While I love the flavor of jalapenos, I do like to clean mine well to tame a bit of the heat:

I added a new pepper to the planters this year,

Tricked You! They say it has all the jalapeno flavor but no heat, we'll see:@)

I tried a Coolapeno a few years ago but the critters ate it-no bueno.

Shredded Pork Stuffed Jalapenos

Jalapenos, sliced in half lengthwise and cleaned-or leave the seeds in, you know your crowd

Enough pork to stuff the amount of peppers you have

Celery, small dice, about 1/4-1/3 as much as meat

Wing sauce, or hot sauce, your favorite brand-I used Frank's today

Blue cheese dressing for drizzle

Extra hot sauce for serving

1. No real recipe here folks, just mix meat and celery with enough hot sauce to coat well and make wet. 
2. Stuff peppers, place on tray and cover with foil. Bake on covered grill, medium heat, 15 minutes for firmer peppers, 20 minutes if you like them softer. I turned the tray half way.
3. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing and serve with bottle of hot sauce on side.

Creamy Salsa Dip, Two Ingredient -Plus Slow Cooker Liner Tip

The holidays may be over folks but there's still a lot of football left, and football requires snacks:@) If you're looking for a fast dip that can be made with only two items you may already have on hand, you can't go wrong with this Creamy Salsa Dip. It's intended for a slow cooker, but you could heat this up in the microwave or oven too. The recipe, as written, should fit into a Little Dipper Crock Pot, but you may want to hold a little out so you can stir it. I made half using an 8 oz jar of Pace from Dollar Tree.

My Crock Pot tip:

Place the liner in the vessel, fit it around one side, and push it so that you can gather the excess to the other side.

Use a plastic closure from a bag of bread or rolls, or a twist tie to secure the excess and trim if desired.

I bought some of the small 1-3 quart liners, here it's lining a 2 1/2-ish C Little Dipper Crock Pot.

Now, I'm not suggesting serving like this for a fancy holiday meal, 

but as chief cook and bottle washer here at Pig In Mud... 

I have to say the boys enjoyed this football snack as much as I enjoyed the clean-up:@)

A picture of the dip, not super model pretty, but ~very~ tasty!

I have some bubbles because I used a whisk to help incorporate the cream cheese.

I wonder if Kraft melts better than the store brands?

Slow Cooker Creamy Salsa Dip-from The Frugal Girls
16 oz salsa
4 oz cream cheese, softened
Tortilla chips for serving

• Add to slow cooker vessel, cover (I like placing paper towels under lid), cook on low for 2 hours stirring occasionally.

Enjoy a snack and have a happy day:@)

Four Easy Dips -Appetizers, Savory and Sweet

I'm thinking after the year we all just had, we could use a few easy, no-fuss snacks for New Year's Eve (or football). So I found four I really liked from the archives and thought I'd share:@) Minimal ingredients for maximum munching... I like that in an appetizer!

Apricot Horseradish Cream Cheese Dip for Crackers

I've been making this dip for as long as I can remember, good stuff folks:@)

Buffalo Pork Tenderloin -Two Ingredient -Slow Cooker

I had one medium size pork tenderloin that had been in the freezer longer than planned... So I decided to toss it into the Crock Pot with nothing more than a coating of Walmart's Great Value Buffalo Wing Seasoning Mix. It cooked up great, shredded beautifully while hot, sliced perfectly chilled, and had that wonderful warm Buffalo Sauce flavor profile. This is a nice starting point for several serving options:@)

Here I used the shredded meat to make some Pork Nachos. 

(Pork, cheddar cheese, finely diced celery and peppers optional, pickled jalapenos optional. 

Pile tortilla chips high with ingredients, microwave or heat in oven until cheese melts. Serve with more hot sauce). 

It would also be great in Buffalo Macaroni Salad, or served on top of some Mac and Cheese, 

or stuffed into jalapenos, or turned into a hot or cold sandwich.

See, this is versatile stuff folks:@)

The seasoning I used:

Two Ingredient Buffalo Pork

1. Place pork in vessel of 3-6 quart slow cooker and liberally sprinkle all over with the envelope of Buffalo seasoning. I used the whole envelope and did not add any liquid.
2. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or until done, or on low for 6-8 hours or until done. Food police say 145 degrees.
3. Shred, adding a little cooking liquid if needed for moisture (or chill and slice).
4. Use in any dish desired.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Kielbasa

While it seems that most fun has been cancelled for 2020, I'm thrilled to hear they are still going to play football!!! And of course, we need snacks for that:@) These Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Kielbasa Bites call for standard pantry ingredients and make a very nice appetizer. I love the tangy sauce, it would be perfect with a lot of things, kielbasa, smoked sausage, hot dogs, cubed ham, Little smokies, etc. The directions call for cooking the onion and then cooking the sauce for 20 minutes on the stove first... I was in a hurry and just added everything right to the crock pot. But would try cooking it the next time.

While the lighting wasn't very good for pictures, I did want to show you that I made a quick

four-for-four sports team wrap for my Little Dipper Crock Pot:@) I completely wrapped it in Eagles fabric and used Liquid Stitch to attach the other teams logos. An easy touch to show a little team spirit!

Half of the recipe will fit into the Little Dipper Crock Pot with a little careful arranging, 1/3 fits no problem at all. And I see on-line that they sell small crock pot liners too, think I might give them a try soon.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Kielbasa -from Allrecipes
6 Tblsp butter
2 large onions, sliced
1 C brown sugar
1/2 bottle (28 oz, use 14 oz) ketchup, approx 1 1/2C
3 Tblsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp spicy brown mustard
1 Tblsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 lb kielbasa, cut into 1" slices

1. Saute onion in butter until soft, add everything except kielbasa, cook for 20 minutes over medium heat.
2. Add everything to Crock Pot, cook on low 4-5 hours.

Bacon and Cheddar Cornbread Stuffed Jalapenos And a New Aldi Seasoned Salt

It's been a while since I treated myself to one of my favorite munchies... These Bacon and Cheddar Cornbread Stuffed Jalapenos were worth the wait. I started with a Jiffy Mix and added some pre-cooked real bacon bits and a handful of cheddar cheese. What makes them extra flavorful is a hearty sprinkling of your favorite seasoned salt once out of the oven. Stuffed jalapenos are a great snack for sports watching, ~~~anybody remember sports??? Sniff. Oh well, I made these back in January for a Flyers game and they were very tasty:@)

I didn't do any strict measuring folks, just stirred everything up. 

If there's any leftover mix, you can bake it as a muffin and have it for breakfast.

Also in January, I found a new Hot Sauce Seasoning at Aldi.

If you like hot sauce, you'll love this stuff folks:@)
It is literally hot sauce in a powdered form and I've been sprinkling it on everything.

Bacon and Cheddar Cornbread Stuffed Jalapenos
Jalapenos that have been cut in half lengthwise and cleaned.
Jiffy Cornbread Mix, plus ingredients on box
Cooked and crumbled bacon, as much as you'd like-I added about a hearty 3 Tblsp
Handful of shredded cheddar cheese-I probably added a hearty 1/4 C

• Mix everything, spoon into jalapenos.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 12-18 minutes or until cornbread is set.
• Sprinkle with seasoned salt and serve with cold beverage of choice.

Eat well and have a happy day:@)
