Raspberry Jalapeno Limeade
We are at the point in the Summer, right around my birthday where it is really hot here. Well, I consider it really hot. With the Minnesota humidity it is just downright sticky, and you start sweating within minutes of being outside. That doesn’t stop me from going out of course. I would much rather […]
Strawberry Jalapeno Jam
My Grandma did lots of preserving fruits and vegetables through canning. My favorite was the strawberry jam it was so good! I mean, I don’t think anything can compare to home made berry jam. Maybe that is why my Dad always bought strawberry jam when I was little, because his Mom made it for him […]
Vegan Mexican Jalapeno Black Bean “Meatballs” with Cheese Sauce

Vegan Jalapeno Cheddar Mashed Potatoes
Who doesn’t like mashed potatoes?! They are after all one of the quintessential comfort foods. I remember when I was little I loved them…especially when my Mom made them out of a box. Sad, I know. But my 5 year old self did not have the best tastes. Funny because she made them the old […]
Spicy Jalapeno Mint Hummus
Windy City Organics had sent me some nut butters to try including some Dastony Sesame Tahini. I am pretty picky about tahini, and I have to say theirs is wonderful! Smooth and perfect for drizzling over things like roasted veggies. I was super excited to use it in recipes! I was not sure exactly what […]
