I am thankful for Farmers’ Markets (where I scored these beautiful Georgia peaches) and friends with gardens (where I scored these picture perfect jalapenos). When peaches and jalapeños meet there is bound to be some sweet spicy love created aka Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam.

I’m off this week. Off from work. My day job is running a door lock and hardware company. Strike that. My day job is motivating and hopefully at times inspiring my work family. Ultimately we all want the same, from work. It’s where we make our living, which funds our passions.
This recipe has nothing to do with that. But I wanted to share where I am right now. Continue reading »

I hadn’t planned on making, picturing and sharing this recipe today, but it’s Game Day and we deserve it. You and me. Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip is soooo easy. Five ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need. Continue reading »

Fire Roasted Poblano, Cilantro & Lime Dressing is my new favorite. Slightly smoky bright flavors, balanced by toasted cumin, cilantro and fresh lime juice. I wanted each component to hold it’s flavor identity, so I’ve left it slightly chunky. Turns out this dressing doubles as a kickin’ salsa :) and soon to be used as a marinade. Continue reading »

My kid first introduced me to Vietnamese fare. Pho. Coffee. Bakeries. And Banh Mi. Each worthy of their own post. Our Vietnamese Beef Pho posts continues to be one of my favorites.
