I was looking for ways to use my bumper crop of hot peppers and am thrilled! We have made candied bacon with it, used it on ham sandwiches, drizzled it on roasted corn with butter and like juice, basted it on grilled pork, and created some amazing cocktails. I forgot that it is the bomb on cornbread too! Easy and so versatile. Truly kicks up the game in our cuisine!!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
