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. This is the result and they were a hit. ‘Addictive’ was the word most people used. Would be a great gift to give out during the holidays.

Finger-licking good, Korean-style hot wings made easy and simple. The sauce can be made up to two weeks ahead of time; flavor will intensify.
I am not a big shrimp fan! Not sure why, but it’s true. However, my new easy grilled spicy shrimp has been a summer favorite and so easy with all of the entertaining we do at the lake house!
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.
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!
This is a quick and delicious appetizer/dip dish. I promise most guests will enjoy it. You can add Tapatio® hot sauce or cayenne for a more spicy taste.
WARNING: SPICY..We ate them so fast we didn’t get a picture. Hubby said: ‘I hope you wrote this one down’.
Outstanding dip, with a semi-sweet, creamy kick. This is a good spread for sandwiches, topper for soft cheeses, or option for salad dressing. I made this without oil to cut fat. With summer close, we have to use all the help we can get!
A hint of spice makes this creamy dip great with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies. Can also be used as a dressing on a salad or tossed with pasta.
Warning: Keep away from children. This dip is very spicy! This is my first recipe. I hope you like it! Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Serve with chips, crackers, vegetables, etc.
Pumpkins aren’t the only squash varietals to yield tasty seeds for roasting! Next time you prepare butternut or acorn squash, save the seeds and have yourself a nutritious little snack.
After a number of unsatisfactory attempts at making deep-fried poppers, I modified a recipe by Emeril that is much easier than frying and everyone in our family agrees that these are at least as good as — if not better than — any fried poppers they have had! We love hot peppers and always make a lot of these from the ones we grow in our garden every year.
This is my spin on mashed cauliflower: delicious, cheesy bites with a spicy kick! For a thicker consistency use cream instead of milk.
