I am all about coconut and I must try or have anything that has coconut in it. There is a certain enthusiasm anytime I am at the market and I see something that has coconut in it. So when I thought of an ingredient this week, I thought of these coconut bread muffins. If you …
Taco night or any other night just got a winter upgrade. Think about everything you love about steak fajitas. Usually served with flour tortillas but not this time. All that is getting stuffed in an acorn squash making use of this winter vegetable. I love acorn squash and it is probably my favorite winter squash. …
Super Bowl weekend has come and gone and all I can think about is my homemade barbecue sauce. In my first attempt at barbecue sauce, I wanted to incorporate guava somehow. I also didn’t want it to be just sweet and one dimensional, so I added chipotle peppers for some heat. I am a huge …
