A little bit of old-time weirdness. 2 tablespoons butter1 tablespoon olive oil1 teaspoon chili powder½ teaspoon ground cumin1/3… Continue reading Spicy Corn, Beans, and Rice (Perdue)

Green Chili Cheeseburgers (Perdue)
I knew these recipes involving Purdue Ground Turkey were old, but it is dawning on me just how old they must be. In 2014, salsa is as mainstream as ketchup.
