Fire Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole
Months and months ago when I was doing a little research on tomatillos for my Salsa Verde recipe, I ‘bookmarked’ a recipe for Fire Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole. Which translated means I wrote it on a piece of scrap paper and shoved it in my folder of recipes that I plan to make some day. Today’s the day for this crazy good recipe I found on Gilt Taste.

Pozole Verde. Pork & Hominy Stew with Fire Roasted Tomatillos & Peppers. Punchy. Earthy. Unctuous. Bright Flavors. Oh how we love you Pozole.

Bacon Wrapped Buffalo Poppers
We’ve taken our beloved Jalapeno Poppers to a new level. Or maybe two new levels. Or is it three? We infused the cheese filling with buffalo wing sauce. We wrapped them in bacon. And then we threw our Bacon Wrapped Buffalo Poppers on the smoker grill.

Chili Gumbo
I took yesterday off from work to cook. That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven. I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat. In fact, everyone either loves to eat or loves to cook (or both). Which makes for some great special occasion spreads. Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a giant pot of Chili Gumbo and a platter of Mardi Gras Wings. It was a good day.

Jalapeno Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole
Our Jalapeno Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole is a spin off of a very popular and delicious recipe. I enjoyed it at a luncheon recently and it’s been on my mind ever since. According to an internet search, it seems to have been recreated at least a bazillion times. Here’s our version, based on ingredients already in our fridge and pantry.

Beef, Bean & Cheese Nachos {with Jalapeños}
You know that little local Mexican joint that has become your convenient fast lunch or after-work margarita spot. Mine closed down without even as much as a good-bye whisper. While there wasn’t anything extra special about this place, their Beef, Bean & Cheese Nachos with Jalapeños became one of my favorite comfort foods.

Strawberry Jalapeno Skillet Jam
I wanted to make a grilled cheese sandwich using fresh strawberries, a hunk of brie, and fresh basil growing like crazy in our Aero-Garden. I needed one more component to seal the meal :) As soon as I saw this recipe from Savory Simple I was hooked. Strawberry Jalapeno Skillet Jam you are my shining star.

Italian Sausage Soup {with Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers}
Italian Sausage Soup {with Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers}. Like many of our favorites, this recipe happened by accident. While making one of our go-to week night meals (Jennie-O Hot Italian Turkey Sausage with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes) I came to realize my favorite part of the dish was the broth. The awe-mazing broth.

Jalapeño Pulled Pork Loaded Nachos
I vowed to stay out of Publix for a week following the holidays. I called home as I entered the store to admit to my failures. The words on the other end were few. “Damn it Lib ;) Pick up a pork butt and I’ll forgive you.”
