Hard to tie down to any set of ingredients, you can make this with lots of different toss-ins. Generally, I like crispy veggies (in the picture are baby bok choy, celery, broccoli). Some onions, garlic, optionally meat if you want. It’s a great thing to throw together with leftover veggies or meat in [...]
I love pickles. I’m not much of a sweets person (aside from good chocolate), sour and salty and spicy are my thing. I’ve been enjoying store-bought pickles, and will continue to do so. But, there are only a couple types I’m really fond of. Zesty pickles with garlic, peppercorn, and some hot peppers added are [...]

These crackers are so simple and tasty, great on their own, or with your favorite cracker toppings. Ingredients: 2 Cups Almond Flour (I also made these with Hazelnut flour, which was equally tasty) [...]

Ingredients: 1 Dozen eggs 4 Tbsp mayonnaise 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1 Habanero pepper, very finely chopped 1 tsp Dave’s Insanity [...]
Based on a Recipe by Guy Fieri Servings: 4-6 I like sloppy joes served over potatoes. They hold up better to the moisture than buns do. Serve the sloppy joe mixture on anything you prefer. Rice is also a great option. Ingredients 1/4 cup canola oil 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced 1 green [...]

Just saw this on Guy’s Big Bite. I’m going to take this one and use it as a roadmap. I already know I’m not a fan of corn, unless it’s on the cob, and might add some tomato sauce as my friend Jenna uses in a recipe she gave me. Ingredients 1 red bell pepper [...]
