Prosciutto Goat Cheese Jalapeno Poppers

These prosciutto-wrapped goat cheese-stuffed jalapeno poppers look fancier than they really are. In terms of the ingredient list and the preparation steps they are as simple as an appetizer gets. Dress them up for a holiday cocktail party or share them at a casual summer BBQ.

Jalapeño Cornbread

Monday, March 22, 2010

0 Comments

Last summer I wanted to make habañero cornbread with the habañeros from our garden. The cornbread itself is moist and cake-like. The garden-fresh habañeros were flavorful and surprisingly not too spicy. Because not everyone likes spicy food, I have included jalapeño peppers in the following recipe. But feel free to substitute canned chiles if you want to tame it down. Or add habañero peppers if you think you are up for the spicy challenge!

Chili Con Carne

Chili con carne (Chili) is Spanish for "chile peppers with meat." Traditionally, chili is a simple stew made of chile peppers, meat, cumin, garlic and onions. In my variation of chili, I include tomato paste to get the flavor of tomatoes in the broth without the chunks of tomato. I also use pinto and black beans for extra lean protein and fiber. Serve it with warm corn bread and honey.

Chicken Stock

I have always been intimidated by making chicken stock (and chicken broth). After finally making it, however, I have realized how approachable it really is. There are many subtleties to making a good stock and I know I still have lots to learn by trial and error, but at its basic level, it is a simple process.

The sun is out and summer has been on my mind so we had avocado turkey burgers for dinner last night. My fifteen-month old son devoured three-fourths of a giant burger and my husband said that he no longer needs to eat ground beef if this is what ground turkey can taste like!

Chicken Tikka Masala

Over the past couple of years we have made Tikka Masala many times in an effort to perfect it. It typically has heavy cream so our goal has been to create a lighter version while matching the restaurant creaminess and flavor. The last time we made this, our fifteen-month old son couldn't get enough of it!

My favorite time of year to make this salsa is in the summer and early fall when we are harvesting the tomatoes and peppers from our garden. It is great in many dishes, including fish tacos, omelettes and fajitas.

We incorporate this salsa verde into many of our dishes. Outside of traditional Mexican food, it is also excellent for marinating chopped ham and sausage for breakfast dishes. Make it as spicy (or not spicy) as you would like by adjusting the peppers in the mix.

This cheese ball is a SPICY and addictive cheese spread. Use the peppers of your choice to make this cheese dip as spicy as you'd like. For a red-hot spread, be sure to try the habañero pepper version.
