Corn Fritters and Fried Green Tomatoes | A Beginning of Fall BONUS - The Papa's Kitchen

Here it is Saturday and Fall is “officially” upon us. It’s still summer in Florida - we’re even keeping our eyes on Hurricane Ian - and it’s hot and humid today. BUT, in this bonus I wanted to offer you a couple of things you should have in your cooking arsenal that always make a hit with adults and kids, when they show up on your table. Corn Fritters and Fried Green Tomatoes. Southern staples. Easy to make and tasty. That’s my combination of a great recipe. Try em, you’ll love it - I promise.
I also put in a little update clip from my Mom so you can see she is totally on the mend and doing great after spending a month in the hospital (broke 13 ribs!).
ENJOY!
By the way - - - here is the LINK for the Countertop Induction Plate I’m using and fell in love with: amzn.to/3DRKnVT

Hello Pappa, tomatillos (pronounced toe-ma-tea-os) are actually a berry and very important in our green salsas and green enchiladas. They are wonderful and a staple for my culture.

[@pipertarin68]

My Favorite ❤ Yum! Blessings, Piper

[@oursmalltribe5189]

They are very good. We love tomatillo dressing.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

I didn't know what they were but cut them up and cooked them into my Dad's Barley Soup mixture. He liked them.

"Why'd you do that?" I just love her! Thank you for always keeping us updated on your Mom and its such a great testament of how well she is doing. The bonus videos are always a very welcome thing, very happy to see the extra videos!

She is very sweet and you are fortunate to still have her on this earth!!!! Cherish every moment.

[@debbiemorgan6701]

This looks so good! I love fried green tomatoes corn fritters. I have done the tomatoes before when I raised a garden. I have never done the corn fritters. I was later in life discovering them. I am unable to cook since my stroke. I tend to forget things so my daughter comes over each day and cooks. Isn't she just the best daughter? I am truly blessed.

[@CarolynDenise52]

Just checking on you & Nana. Know you all live in the Florida area. I hope you all are safe down there. Praying for you all. Enjoy your videos so much. God bless

I never knew how to prepare a tomatillo. Everything you make always looks delicious. I am glad to hear your mother is doing well. You are so fortunate to have your parents still alive.

[@AdventuresInOrganizi]

Cabbage, green onions and any veg you love, we add shrimp or left over meat or Tofu on occasion . Equal parts flour, water, eggs. Mix, fry, lay on paper towels. Then just. Dip in soy sauce sesame oil, fish sauce, green onion, sesame seed dip, wonderful

[@thepapaskitchen]

Thanks for the tips!

[@cassystreet3082]

Beat way to check oil to see if it's ready for frying is to put the handle of a wooden spoon in if bubbles form around it, it's ready.

[@thepapaskitchen]

Wow - - I didn't know that - - - I will try and remember that useful hint!

[@lauramilton9785]

My soul rejoices at your Mothers recovery!God is so good!🙌🏼💖🙌🏼Her innocent question of what did you do that for tickled me.Thank you for great recipes and tender,sweet moments.God bless all.In Jesus name.🥰🙏♥️

[@shaishaw8001]

I'm loving Papa's kitchen the fried green tomatoes and I will be trying them as sliders they look good and I can tell by your mom eating the slider it was delicious. I love seeing your mom and dad on camera beautiful parents love their energy.

[@DCo923]

I'm a good cook and even took classes way back when, but a trick I learned this year with red onion or Any onion, is to soak them in white vinegar for about an hr. to get that pungent and sharp taste out of them. And it worked.

[@sassysshoestringstylesuepa2118]

EVERYTHING about this channel is perfect....from the Opening to Closing music on! SO pleasant and funny and engaging. Keep em coming. Pure, wholesome entertainment....with very useful recipes I might add. Delicious!

Yes - - -some of my other viewers have told me the same thing about them - -- they are berries!! A fruit! Who knew?

[@conniereese9914]

Dear Papa and Sue, Since everyone and their brother request different recipes to try, Ive got one. Its mainly for folks who live in the cooler climates, and its fall, how about a soup and either bread, sandwich or salad to go along with the soup. And why not two soups? A nice hearty one for northerners, and gazpacho for the people in ur neck of the woods!! Stay safe as Ian is cat 2 as of now. My daughter lives in Bradenton and now more than ever, I pray our lord will keep her, her husband and my precious grandaughter out harms way as i pray for u both god keeps u safe as well!

[@thepapaskitchen]

I totally have some soups and sandwiches in the works. Stay tuned. Late October or early November

[@conniereese9914]

@@thepapaskitchen Awesome! Ill be coming to Bradenton on Dec to celebrate Christmas with my Daughter. It was to be a surprise, with her thinking shes picking up her husbands Aunts mom at the airport, instead of the mom, it was going to be me. Last week she asked for the shipping info to send a pair of nikes back to Amazon. Dumb me hit the wrong button, and sent her a copy of my flight info. She said are u coming. I couldnt lie. She said oh mom im so excited! Needless to say, most of my shopping is done and already in florida. Im wrapping up my shopping the first or second week of of Oct! Sue, i dont know how u do it with all those beautiful grandbabies of Sarahs. But, like me, u just do it! Keep up the wonderful videos.

I live in New Mexico and can’t find green tomatoes to fry. When we get a craving we will use the tomatillos and fry them the same as a green tomato. To make a sandwich we would put butter on white bread then the fried tomato.

My hubby used to make corn fritters years ago. But now he loves his jalapeno corn muffins, oat bars & bran muffins. 😊 In all the years we have visited our dear friends in Mexico, I have never seen a yellow colored lime. Their limes are smaller in size compared to the ones bought here in the U.S. or my local grocery stores.

I know. I was so mad at myself for that

[@sherlynpatterson4304]

Tomatillos are yummy even in non-TexMex recipes. They are yummy when added to sauteed onions and brussel sprouts with just garlic, salt and pepper. Tomatillos can be used as an onion substitute/addition in many frittatas, quiches and veggie side dishes. Real yummy in lentil pilafs and some styles of Dahl or currry styles. A frugal fresh whole food. About ten tomatillos per pound and usually only one tomatillo are needed in a recipe when not used as the main ingredient in a sauce.

[@vickiemouse2359]

My Prayers are with all experiences difficulties with the hurricane! I hadn’t heard about your mom. So Thankful she is doing better🥰 I can’t stop telling you how much I love your entire family😊 Sarah and Solo are such a beautiful couple and they make the most incredible children! God Bless🙏🏻🕊✝️🌸♥️
