	Joyce's Fresh Jalapeno Salsa by Kathleen Scott Joyce is the angel who helps care for my father. The last time I visited with my parents, Joyce taught us how to make fresh jalapeno salsa. Joyce's salsa puts the bottled stuff to shame and this "from-scratch" salsa is so easy we'll never buy salsa again.

	Bourbon-Ancho/Pasilla Sauce by Bob Vincent This is a tasty sauce. It is adapted from one in Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill cookbook. The original used Ancho chiles only. I used more pepper than called for and added Pasilla peppers which have a smoky overtone to them. I also added a clove of garlic to the mix. At the end of reducing the sauce I added 2 Tbs of cold unsalted butter…	1 vote 2 comments 3407 views
	Chipotle Smoked Red Pepper Sauce by Bob Vincent This sauce is adapted from one in Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill cookbook. The honey and chipotle puree make for a sweet/hot flavor that is very good.

They need some preparation before you use them. First, remove the husk and rinse them off. Next, cut them in half and put them in a bowl. Put the bowl in the microwave and…	1 vote 1 comment 4331 views
	Krabby Poppers by Patti Fisher Friends wanted a recipe for appetizers that were fancy and cheap, too. Everyone loves our different kinds of poppers. We’ve stuffed both sweet and jalapeno peppers with all kinds of fillings. Of course, they’re always wrapped with bacon.

	Stir Fry Meets Jambalaya by Cara Fernicola This is a fusion of 2 great classics, Stir Fry and Jambalaya. This dish is an overload on flavor. The chorizo is the star of this dish, it lends a kick of heat and also infuses and flavors the rest of the dish with its spicy oils. I must pat myself on the back for this one... its a keeper!	1 vote 2809 views

	Homemade Chipolte Peppers by Michael Douglas This was so easy I couldn't believe it! We love the flavor of chipoltes...and we use them as often as we can...but they can get expensive. So...we did our own! For Thanksgiving, smoked a brisket instead of a turkey. I looked up way to make our own chipoltes. And lo and behold...they are jalapenos...smoked. I grabbed a half dozen at…	1 vote 2 comments 1946 views
