Cliff's Hot Sauce

21

This is a quick and easy hot sauce my dad makes with canned tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and spices. My mom had to go behind him to write down what he was tossing in. Charring the jalapeño peppers (optional) gives it that smokiness, and the jalapeño pepper seeds need to be added for heat.

Green Hot Sauce (Salsa Verde)

This is great with any tacos. My mother-in-law is from Mexico and showed me how to make this. I only added a few more things to make it better.

Best Ever Jalapeno Poppers (Baked)

This is a recipe I made by taking the best of three or four popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful.

Lemon-Basil Quinoa Salad

Found this and thought I would share since quinoa seems to be becoming so popular. This make-ahead salad (served warm or room temperature) is great for outdoor parties since it won't spoil in the sun.
