Nam Pla (Thai spicy fish condiment)
I LOOOOOOVE this sauce. I put it on everything. Eggs, roasted veggies, sautéed veggies, grilled meat, fish – even pizza. It stores in the fridge for a good couple weeks if you don’t eat it all before then. Note: the traditional recipe calls for limes but I’ve replaced it with vinegar. Nam Pla 12 Thai […]

Ugh! Well, as soon as I make them again (likely Fathers Day), I’ll add the pics Buffalo Chicken Sliders […]

Tyrosalata
There once was a restaurant we all loved and then it closed. For years we reminisced about their feta dip. Then, Covid hit and they started up a takeout biz outta their home. Tyrosalata was back and it’s damn good. They didn’t have any this week. So, I went ahead and tried my hand at […]

Blistered Shishito Peppers
I love the roulette experience of eating these. You never know when you might get a spicy one. These are such an easy appetizer that can be done in less than 10 mins. Heat a cast iron skillet on med/high until water drops sizzle and evaporated quickly. Toss peppers with oil to just coat. In […]

Spicy Ahi Poke

Jalapeño Poppers, Baked
Made these for the 4th of July and am looking for a BBQ event to bring them to so I can side swipe a few between drinks. It’s the perfect “over served” food. Bacon-y, kinda spicy, cheesey. Sooo good. In fact, I bet we could doctor them up to look Halloween-y. Ok. Time for some […]
