Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Corn Dip!

Last night I made some corn dip to take with us this weekend to Oxford, MS and I wanted to share the recipe with you!

We are going to the Ole Miss vs. Tennessee game with our couple friends from dental school. Don't worry, Hog fans. We're not total traitors! We're neutral. Like Switzerland.
The Siscos and Puryears are Tennessee fans. The Trammells are from Ole Miss. So, I think Keith and I may balance out the group by wearing Razorback red colors, and at least visibly support the Rebs (and good ole Houston Nutt, who I happened to really like).

Anyway, so I'm packing a little basket of treats and one of them is a delicious Corn Dip. I think this recipe came from Lindsey Ingram at Stone Ward. Dora Lee, if I'm wrong, correct me. Otherwise, you're totally getting credit. Love, your long-lost Violet (anybody pick up on our 9 to 5 movie nicknames?).

I chose to make this because Keith recently blurted out around 10:00 one night this week- "Woman, when are you ever gonna make me some of that corn dip!!!?" Geez, didn't know you wanted it so bad! Sorry I have recently failed you.

I digress. Here's the recipe:

Corn Dip

You'll need:
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or more, if you're like me!
  • 2 cans whole kernel corn, drained
  • 7 oz can of diced green chiles, or 2 of those 4.5 oz cans (that was all I could find), drained
  • 1 cup of mayo
  • Jalapeno slices
  • Tony C's seasoning
You're going to combine all the ingredients, in no particular order.

Add it to the bowl.

Drain those chiles, or your dip will be "too wet."

Thank you, Daisy, for your words of encouragement as I make this dip.

Add the cheese and the sour cream. Hey, I did NOT say this was healthy!

Jalapenos. Only use as much as you can HANDLE.

Chop 'em up! Or, leave them whole.

Mix, mix, mix it up!!

Tony, you are cute. And I love your seasoning.

Lots of seasoning!! Stir that up.

Take a bite to see what you think.

I think that mine needs more jalapenos. Some like it hot!

It also helps to refrigerate this dip. I often make this the night before I need it.

Enjoy!!
