FOOD PREPPING FOR DINNER

-

I have to admit a very ugly secret.  I have not cooked all week.  Let me clarify, I have not cooked dinner all week long.  I was not being lazy at all.  I know it might seem like it BUT, when you have leftovers from 5 different meals, why cook?  Right?  It is very hard to cook for just 2 people.  Which means I tend to cook way too much food, as does Scott.  

Well, tonight I am trying out a new recipe and I have already started my food prepping.  

Any guessings on what I am cooking?  There are wine and chicken to come.  Looking forward to dinner..... What are you cooking tonight?

Please take a guess on what I am cooking in the comments below.

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.   ...

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 ...

AMAZING JAMAICAN JERK SAUCE (WITH CANNING INSTRUCTIONS)

I found this recipe a few years back.  I fell totally in love with it as did all my friends. I actually found it after we started growing Scotch Bonnet peppers.  You see the pepper plants we grew were very prolific and we had what appeared to us tons of these peppers.  Which means I had to do something with all those hot and spicy peppers.  This recipe is simply awesome.   I started canning the jerk sauce so I would have some in the winter time.  This is the best jerk sauce you will ever eat.  It is a marinade, not a dry rub.  It is amazing on chicken, pork, fish or beef.  My favorite though is chicken.   As I said my friends love this recipe.  They beg and barter for jars of this delightful hot and spicy sauce.  The flavors that you taste is amazing.  Scotch bonnet peppers are just perfect with the spices that are added to this sauce.  Of course, these peppers are a Caribbean pepper and Jamai...
