I don't know where my head has been....Maybe it was on the royal wedding festivities (all southern girls LOVE weddings!) ...or maybe it's focusing on the excursion with bloggy friends this weekend...or maybe the paint fumes finally got to me. Now understand this....I'm considered a really good southern cook. I rarely mess up recipes! And I even BURN things less often!!! I have no idea where I've gone wrong. But, I will persevere...
So....here goes again...
Fried Green Tomato Salad...
I even BOUGHT (heaven forbid!) already baked cornbread from the grocery store. Maybe this time, I won't burn it...(I. Feel. So. Ashamed!!!)
Thanks to a "new way" of eating, I can no longer have anything fried...how very un-southern of me. This new way of eating *%&^$!!!!!!!!! At least I can eat the salad and taste a crouton or two...
I have to say...I am not a huge tomato fan, but this looks really good. Judging the way MacDaddy inhaled his salad, I'd say the recipe is a SUCCESS!!! (We all decided that the cornbread croutons were the best...and personally, I would prefer non-fried tomatoes, rather than more cornmeal.) Give it a try.....
So thank you, Teeny, for sharing your recipe...
Oh...By the way...we also tried the Espresso Steak Rub. Mmmmm....it was delicious!
Happy cooking....

I come from a long line of fire-bugs, so I can totally understand the burned croutons! I can also say that the cornbread salad is hard to make, what with all the frying and baking. But yours looks divine. I can almost smell the browning croutons and taste the crunch of those tomatoes. I love your idea of the rack for the croutons. Thank you so much for inviting Teeny into your kitchen! XX00
Steak and salad, sounds like a perfect dinner to me! And yep, I've burned more than my share goodies too:@)
Oh shoot...I think I burn just about everything I make!!! It happens:)
ps...i'm having a little give-away on my blog! Stop on over if you have a minute:)
We've all been 'guilty' of burning something ~ so no problem. :-) The salad looks delish...as well as the steaks. I'd love to have shared both.

Mmmm, I'll take cornbread any way it's cooked!
In our house, hubby is the cornbread baker...and it is never burned...he cooks it in a cast iron skillet just like his Grandma did. Maybe a little dry sometimes, but nothing a little butter won't fix! The salad and steak definitely look yummy!
It was an absolute delight to meet you, Jane! You are fun, warm, and so delightfully friendly and engaging!! Hope we can hang out again soon!
So glad to be back in touch!! :o)
HUGS,
Becky {love your comment on my daughter's home birth!!}
Dont worry, my father tells me I am the only person he knows who can burn water!
I had to come over and check this out after you told me about it on Saturday and it looks so good! I'm a big fan of fried green tomatoes and cornbread? Goes without saying, I am a Southern gal afterall!
I had such a great time with you on Saturday, can't wait to do it again!
You and Teeny did a great job on this, Jane!
Dropping by to give you a hug and tell you that I miss you. Trish says, "Hi!"
XOXOX,
Sheila :-)
