I usually like food with heat such as Thai Mexican Cajun and Hunan but my lips and tongue were on fire. It's a good thing that I had sour cream on hand because my husband couldn't eat it without the sour cream to create a heat barrier. Read More

Oh I also made a side of onion asparagus and mushrooms to go with and mixed in leftover sauce(: Read More

Very delicious. However I only added 2.5 tablespoons of the sabal chili instead of 1 cup (that sounded crazy) and I pan fried them instead of grilling. Turned out great! Read More
