Jammin' JambalayaThis is my take on jambalaya encompassing the essence of the dish without a lot of fuss.

Generally a 'mess' of salad will only yield… |

Balsamic MayonnaiseThis is mayonnaise set on it's ear. I came up with it one day while making my traditional homemade mayo. I searched my pantry, and to my dismay, I had run out of white, red, cider, distilled and seasoned rice vinegar. Alas, I came to my balsamic vinegar. I took a gander and gave it the old college try.
