We cook meal for family and friends and give some away, but we also know that we’ll need chili peppers throughout the winter, so we preserve them, and there are so many ways to preserve your chili peppers....

The peppers turn bright red upon maturity, and they do have some heat, measuring in at 2,500-5,000 Scoville Heat Units. Learn more about the Scoville Scale Here. This makes them roughly the same heat level as an average jalapeno pepper. The pods are quite wrinkly, though they are outstanding to cook with, having both a nice level of heat and a wonderfully fruity flavor, with thick enough walls to provide some substance to whatever you’re cooking....

Easy Pumpkin Dip Right on cue, the weather has changed to Fall here in Carlsbad (north San Diego).

I’ve already shared my Pumpkin Bars with Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting (a MUST make!...

Moral of the story: rest the dough for a few hours 🙂 These are thin, a little chewy, dark, deep and not too sweet....

Grilled Corn on the Cob (in the Husk!) No bite says perfect summer like Grilled Corn on the Cob (and 4th of July!).

That’s because a large portion of the Indian population is Hindu and therefore vegetarian....
Jalapeño shooters or jalapeno poppers, what’s in a name, eh? This spicy and cheesy delight is an absolute treat if spicy food pleases your palate. I first had these at Longhorn Steakhouse, and thought it was so much like an Indian pakora ( fritters) and oh so yum! Most Indian fritters are coated with a chickpea batter though! I was mighty impressed with the way it was presented. That inspired me to shoot some of my pictures in a similar manner....
