Recipes

• Aunt Pearlie’s Cornbread Dressing, thawed
• Cracker meal/crushed saltines - about 1 cup
• Oil to deep fry the right amount for your fryer
• Optional seasoning; optional extra onions

Directions:
Thaw some dressing. One 2 ½ lb pan will make about 30 Hush Puppies. Heat oil in fryer. Add some cracker meal, or crushed saltine crackers to the thawed dressing. This makes wonderfully mild tasting hush-puppies without needing any additional seasoning. Use cracker meal to thicken mixture just enough to form into a 1 to 1-1/2 inch ball. Drop into hot oil and fry to golden brown. If you like extra onions, add to taste. If you have a favorite seafood seasoning, add just a little for extra zip.

• Cracker meal/ crushed saltine crackers about 1 - 1½ cups
• 1 cup diced tomatoes, or amount to taste
• 1 cup diced cooked chicken or turkey white meat
• ½ cup diced black olives, or amount you like
• ½ cup diced green bell peppers
• ¼ cup diced jalapeño peppers
• Oil for brazing
• Guacamole or other condiment.

Directions:
Thaw some dressing. One 2 ½ lb pan will make about 6 to 8 fritters. Add just enough cracker meal or crushed saltine crackers to thicken. Add other ingredients. Form into 3 to 4 inch patties about ¾ inch thick. Braze in frying pan in small amount of olive oil, or other quality oil. Serve with guacamole on the side. Ole`! Great for lunch; as a party item (maybe a little smaller)
