For The Love of Food and Making Great Memories
In the book, this particular recipe was in my Nana’s handwriting. I have no idea how she came up with it. I can only guess that she grabbed whatever she had on hand and threw it together. It’s actually super tasty and I always enjoy making it. It’s absolute comfort food.
This was something my Nana came up with. It’s different but really tasty. My Nana put Pace© Picante Sauce on almost everything. As a kid, I nicknamed her hot sauce Hazel 🙂
Pizza is something that everyone loves to enjoy from time to time. This recipe is one of the best pizza recipes that I have ever made. The pizza dough can be intimidating to make, but this recipe makes it simple and it has an amazing taste to it. We love thin crust pizza so that is what I made. You can make this as spicy as you want or as mild as you want. There are endless possibilities when you are adding toppings as well. So get creative and get the kids involved in making this fun dish.
Creole Chicken is a spicy supper waiting to make your tastebuds dance. It’s fairly quick and very easy to make.
Now, this was a different take on a very classic recipe, and the sauce for them even with its heat makes an amazing meat marinade. This dish certainly has a feeling for every taste bud you can recognize. I took it just a step farther and made a one-pot dish very easily with this super easy recipe even on the hottest of days you can cook this dish knowing the only heat you need to worry about is the spice heat in the sauce.

Yet, with much love and patience, I spent my evening prepping a delectable meal for the family and me. I have to say the pot roast was tender, paired well with multigrain rotini pasta for those like myself with dietary restrictions. I even had time to make an Arugula with lettuce salad dressed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. As an appetizer, I toasted Fresh Italian bread; seasoned …
This sauce is a zinger!! It’s got a good amount of tanginess to it, but with a good balance of sweet and spice. You won’t be disappointed!
Oh, the flavors in this dish!! Linguica isn’t found up here in northern Michigan, so I used hot chorizo instead. Please, please hunt linguica if you can, otherwise you can sub a good quality, savory sausage for this recipe. My diet doesn’t include 90% of most meats, but I did taste this before serving. My mouth was quite pleased with the results, and I encourage you to delve into the culture behind this creation and play with the spices you find. I also made a sweet cornbread to go alongside this, because I’m a Southern woman, and…beans!!! Would I be …
