CWC'S Mighty Fine Cornbread, My Way

A tender cornbread made using self-rising cornmeal and flour with butter and buttermilk, based on Cooking with Cajun's famed cornbread.

Mighty Fine Cornbread

Just like everybody else, when I have a minute (or more like I'm trying to avoid work ssshh...) I get lost in shorts and reels on social media. For me, mostly that's videos of gorgeous strutting Maine Coon cats, rehabilitating horses and other rescued animals, goofy stunts people actually do, food videos and viral recipe hacks.

There is a fella with a page called Cooking with Cajun. Originally from South Central Louisiana around the Atchafalaya swamps, but a resident of the Ozark mountain region of North Arkansas since 2015, where he pretty much lives off the grid. He has an outdoor cooking set up where he cooks everything over open fire and he does an incredible job doing it too. You'll find him everywhere - Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube - check him out sometime!

'Catfish Fry'

Deep fried, crispy strips of catfish, coated in a mixture of corn meal and flour, are a true deep south favorite.

'Shrimp and Egg Salad' 

A favorite egg salad, made very simply with the addition of shrimp, green onion, celery and mayonnaise. Serve with crackers, as a sandwich, or stuffed into a tomato. Light and delicious!

To recap from my previous Social Media Roundup, while I have an email alert (tap that link to sign up) that goes out whenever I post new recipes to the website, in case you didn't know, social media is where I share daily roundups of the past recipes.

Unfortunately, although I do continue to share to social media on a regular basis, it seems that quite a few folks have left those venues these days. Because of that, I'm publishing an occasional summary of those roundups here on the website for Deep South Dish readers who primarily follow the website via email alerts.

This will give you a chance to catch up!

Social Media Roundup SUMMER 1 - What You Missed

Information you get from a recipe website is a little different from other sites. Although sometimes recipes are updated with revised techniques or updated pictures, recipes aren't a one and done type of thing. They really do stand the test of time.

I have folks who have been following Deep South Dish for years and rely on some of my older published posts for their regular meal rotation!

While I have an email alert that goes out whenever I post new recipes to the website, in case you didn't know, social media is where I have shared daily roundups for a lot of the past recipes. Unfortunately, although I do continue to share there on a daily basis, it seems that quite a few folks have left social media these days.

Because of that, I thought that I'd publish here on the website an occasional summary of things that I have shared on social media recently, for those who primarily follow the website via email alerts. This will give you a chance to revisit some of the previous content from Deep South Dish that you may have missed, or even forgotten about!

Here's what you may have missed on social media recently. If you'd like to bypass social media and visit any of these recipes direct on my website, just tap or click on the title or the photo to check it out on Deep South Dish. I hope you enjoy this feature!

1. Roadside-Style Vinegar Grilled Chicken

Y'all, saucing is completely optional with this 'Roadside-Style Vinegar Grilled Chicken' because it's so good even without it! Boneless, skinless thighs pictured here, are marinated in a seasoned vinegar and oil mixture, then grilled. Delicious!

2. Garden in a Pot Summer Vegetable "Gumbo"

A mix of summer's best veggies like sweet onion, fresh corn, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, green beans, sweet bell pepper and okra, a perfect dish for the veggie lovers!
