Cajun Sugared Peanuts

I was headed to a Mardi Gras party and needed to throw something together fast. I had some raw peanuts on hand and decided to try candy coating them with a kick of Cajun seasonings added in.

Spicy Feta Cheese Dip

This is best feta dip ever. It is so tangy and salty and completely addictive. People often comment that they would like to lick the bowl. Great on pitas, used as a dip, or alongside souvlaki.

Easy Cantaloupe Salsa

This is the best salsa ever! The recipe was given to me by a friend and it always goes quickly. It’s easy to double, and people always ask for the recipe so have extras on hand! I prefer fresh tomatoes, but the recipe calls for canned. You can also substitute any fruit to adjust it to your tastes. If you have a food processor or mini chopper, this recipe is much quicker and easier. Serve with Tostitos® Scoops!® chips. Enjoy!

We love hot peppers and always make a lot of these from the ones we grow in our garden every year.
