0:00
- Again, I'm going back to kitchen classics
0:05
and I'm gonna make a black bean salsa,
0:08
because with summer coming
0:10
and if you're going to the lake,
0:12
or to the ocean, or to the pool
0:16
and you want something to just snack on,
0:19
this is one of those good, you know,
0:22
and reasonably healthy snacks.
0:26
So we've got black beans that have been drained.
0:29
Two cans I think it is.
0:31
A 17-ounce bag of whole kernel corn.
0:35
Two tomatoes that have been diced and de-seeded.
0:43
and some lime juice and red wine vinegar.
0:47
And it also calls for avocado.
0:50
And I request that you put all this together
0:54
and let it sit overnight.
0:57
I would not let the avocado sit overnight.
1:03
I would add that and stir it in well
1:07
so the lime juice or the lemon juice,
1:10
whichever citrus you're using,
1:14
coats it and keeps it from turning brown.
1:17
Or if you have Fruit-Fresh,
1:19
you can sprinkle that on it
1:23
and make sure it's covered.
1:25
And that'll help keep it from turning brown.
1:29
but you gotta plan when you gonna use an avocado.
1:34
- You do. - 'Cause I'll stand up there
1:38
that I think I might be able to use in the morning.
1:42
So sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
1:46
But this is a good, easy, and like I said,
1:49
fairly healthy appetizer.
1:53
And they're so good with tortilla chips.
2:01
and it also calls for cilantro.
2:06
All right, am I using lime or lemon?
2:15
- [Theresa] It's lime.
2:17
- Yes, ma'am. - Okay.
2:20
So I'm gonna pour that over there.
2:22
And like I said, it calls for cilantro.
2:26
Now, here's the deal with cilantro.
2:30
My boys will not eat it
2:33
if it has cilantro in it.
2:34
- [Theresa] That's why I didn't. (faintly speaking)
2:37
- Yes, because they said
2:41
it tastes like soapy dish water to them.
2:45
Now, I don't know how many times them boys
2:47
have drank (laughing) my soapy dish water.
2:54
I've never seen them do it,
2:55
but (laughing) that's what they say it tastes like.
2:59
And it's funny, it must be something, you know,
3:03
in their saliva or something,
3:06
because I have heard other people
3:11
somebody in that's watching this video
3:12
is gonna say the same thing.
3:15
So I'm just gonna stir all this up
3:18
and put it in the refrigerator.
3:20
And then after it soaks overnight,
3:26
I'm gonna take some out
3:30
that does not have a cilantro in it.
3:35
So everybody will be happy.
3:37
And that's when I'll add the avocado.
3:41
In fact, I'll add the avocado
3:51
and then take some out
3:53
before I put in the cilantro.
3:59
So good with a tortilla chip.
4:04
And it's really not bad, y'all,
4:08
with just my lips on it.
4:13
But it'll be so much better tomorrow
4:18
after all those flavors marry.
4:23
And I wanna share something with y'all.
4:26
I meet the most fantastic people out there
4:32
And many of you, you know, bring tears to my eyes.
4:36
You've got such touching, wonderful stories.
4:41
Well, I've got a friend out there
4:42
that comes to my book signings
4:45
when we're in Pigeon Forge.
4:46
Is that right, Eddie?
4:51
What's Jason's last name?
4:52
- [Eddie] I can't La Roux.
4:57
Well, I think it was the last book signing.
4:59
Look what he brought me.
5:00
This precious vintage Muppet box.
5:14
So it's right at 50 years old, isn't it?
5:18
But look what it's filled with.
5:22
Jason says, "Here are a few recipes for you to enjoy,
5:27
and hopefully all of your fans and friends will as well."
5:32
Thank you so much, Jason.
5:37
Country cabbage soup.
5:44
creamy lemon chicken.
5:46
Cherry cola sheet cake.
5:54
String beans and scrambled eggs.
5:57
I'll have to look at that one twice, Jason.
6:00
But I just love it when y'all share recipes with me
6:05
and the history about your recipes.
6:09
So, Jason, thank you so much.
6:12
I can't do these all in one day,
6:14
but I'm gonna sprinkle the video
6:21
with some of these recipes
6:22
throughout the channel.
6:25
- [Theresa] Oh, absolutely.
6:26
- But I'll be sure and say,
6:28
"This is from Jason La Roux
6:31
and his precious Muppet box."
6:33
(Paula and Theresa laughing)
6:36
So I send y'all "Love and Best Dishes,"
6:41
gonna put this back in the refrigerator.
6:44
Gonna cover this, put it in the fridge,
6:47
and I'm going to dig in tomorrow.
6:53
