DESERT HEAT SPICE RUB MIX

-


Scott made this a couple of years ago.  He has no real clue where he found the recipe so I can not give the credit where it is due.  Since we have found similar recipes and I think I have finally perfected it back to the original one he made.

 It was originally made for chicken wings but since we have used it for anything we want a bit spicier.  Our friend Jeremy loves the stuff and when he is here puts it on everything.  

 It is super easy to make and as normal I always have the ingredients at hand.  

 All you do is put the spices into a bowl.


Mix it up


Store in an airtight container.

 DESERT HEAT SPICE RUB MIX

 Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ghost pepper powder
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 2 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
Directions

Place all spices into a bowl and mix together.  Store in an airtight container for up to a year.  

To make sweeter:  Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar.  

To make milder:  Sub out the ghost pepper powder for cayenne powder.

 ENJOY!!

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   ...

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit ...

CRANBERRY JALAPENO JAM

I Love the holidays.  It gives me an excuse to cook and try new or make new recipes. I made  Maple Bacon Jam this week.  It is really good!  I have a few bags of cranberries left my fridge and I wanted to make a hot pepper jam with them.  I figured on cream cheese it would be a nice appetizer during the holidays.  For some reason, cranberries call in the holidays for me. I was really amazed at how quickly this recipe came together.  I do not know if it's just a really easy recipe with few ingredients or if it is the fact we figured out my front element on the stove was not working properly and we had to replace it.  I think it has to do with all the canning I do on that eye and it bent the prong that hooks in.  Oh well, we have it fixed now and I am back to being amazed at how quickly things are now heating up. If you read my blog you know I love quick and easy recipes.  I also love having people at my table.  It ...
