Spicy Grilled Shrimp Taco
“Spice up your Taco Tuesdays this summer with these grilled shrimp tacos. Individually, each component is tasty. Once assembled, they're delicious. The seasoned grilled shrimp have a slick kick and are full of flavor. Slightly tangy, jalapeno adds a punch of flavor to the cabbage slaw. On top is a smoky chipotle and adobo crema that's fabulous on its own. Warming the tortillas on the grill is an excellent idea. Once assembled, these are made at home restaurant-quality shrimp tacos your family will love.” - Kitchen Crew
Boiled Corn with Jalapenos and Honey
“Fresh boiled corn is so sweet and crisp and I thought it was pure heaven until I discovered the milk and honey bath. Boiling corn in a milk and honey bath adds a certain richness that brings fresh corn up to a whole new level of greatness. Add a fresh jalapeno and it is a sweet and spicy heaven! Boiled corn with Jalapenos and Honey is now the only way my family wants corn. It is the perfect summer side when the corn is fresh and sweet and goes perfectly with Baked Beans.” - Debbie
Spicy Gazpacho
“This was a fantastic refreshing gazpacho! This was the perfect time of year to make it, fresh picked tomatoes, with inexpensive red bell peppers, and seedless cucumbers, and Memorial Weekend! Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the well deserved blue ribbon!” - Billie
Bacon Buffalo Cream Cheese Jalapenos
“These jalapeno poppers will not win a beauty contest, but once you taste them you'll realize it's what's inside that counts. The filling is creamy, hearty, and flavorful. We love the addition of ground beef; it bulks up the filling. Buffalo wing sauce makes these poppers a little different too. You taste the Buffalo flavor but it's not overpowering. Bacon adds smoky flavor and holds everything in.” - Kitchen Crew
Spicy Garlic Shrimp Pasta
“This quick and easy spicy garlic shrimp pasta is one of my favourite recipes for busy weeknight meals or for special occasions!” - Kevin
Sweet n' Spicy Black Bean Salad

Mango Pineapple Salsa
“When it comes to homemade salsa, we just can't get enough variety and want to try them all. This mango pineapple version is sweet, spicy, and tastes of summer. All the fresh ingredients mingle together lovely. Onion and jalapeno add the perfect amount of bite. We loved the fresh flavor cilantro adds. Enjoy this fresh and citrusy salsa alongside mild fish or tortilla chips.” - Kitchen Crew
Buttermilk Fried Chicken With Spicy Honey Drizzle
“I think that frying chicken is what God made cast iron skillets for. Also, if you are frying a lot of chicken, you can dip the chicken for frying, place on a large sheet pan and refrigerate overnight to fry the next day. If you are really in a hurry, have two skillets going at one time. But you must be sure the chicken fries long enough to cook through and don't crowd the pieces.” - Mary
Spicy Apple Baked Beans
“These beans were a big hit when I made them for the family!! A keeper!! Thank you - Five star rating!” - Sheila
Marinated Grilled Pork Tenderloin
“I wow people all the time with this pork tenderloin. People come back, not for seconds, but for thirds and fourths. It is just so savory, tender, and juicy. I frequently grill these loins for large parties, such as my Mom's retirement party or large family gatherings.” - Gina
Sweet & Spicy Cucumber Salad
“I started making these for cookouts. By request, I now make them year-around. Some people prefer them crispy (short marinade period). After a couple of days, they're more akin to pickles (great on burgers).” - Rhea
Spicy Crock Pot Tomato Bisque
“This bisque brings tomato soup to a whole new level. It's full of flavor with a slight kick. We loved the addition of roasted garlic. When garlic is roasted it becomes sweeter and it added a ton of flavor to this bisque. Serve with grilled cheese for a grown-up version of a childhood favorite.” - Kitchen Crew
Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade
“These wonderfully grilled chicken legs get their flavor from the sweetness of brown sugar and spice from the jalapeno and cilantro. If you do not like cilantro you can substitute the cilantro with coriander. You still achieve a great flavor for a deliciously wonderful meal.” - Sheila
Slow Cooker Fajitas
“Was very easy to make. In fact, when shopping for the ingredients, I discovered a package of already cut up fajita vegetables and shaved beef in my grocery store. Exactly the quantities needed. My slow cooker cooks fast so I set it on low for three hours and that was perfect. Tested for taste. Added a little more salt - cumin - chili powder.” - Richard
Grilled Jerk Chicken With Mango Salsa
“This was delicious. We had it with a Mango quinoa salad. The salsa recipe is so good we even had it with tortilla chips. We will definitely make this again.” - Heather
Blackened Chicken Breast With Fettuccine Alfredo
“I made my own blackened rub and it turned out great. Slightly spicy with all the flavor you'd expect from a blackened chicken breast. The searing seals the juices inside the chicken and makes for a delicious dinner. A great compliment to the fettuccine Alfredo, since the Alfredo has a rich Parmesan taste.” - Aku
Fresh Tomato Salsa
“I've made this recipe twice and both time it was a hit. Once for topping on enchiladas and just recently as a topping over grilled thick pork chops. The tastes and color are perfect for a pork or Mexican meal. This will be our Pica de Gallo of choice. Thanks.” - Steven
Cranberry Sweet Hot Wings
“This is one of my own recipes I created. I bring them to a lot of parties. You can make them as hot or not as hot if you want. They taste awesome either way. No one would ever guess what ingredients are used. These are a family favorite that I am sharing. Grab a napkin and dig in. Enjoy!” - Noreen
Buffalo Chicken Grilled Onions and Cheese Sandwich
“I LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches and hot wings. So, here is my recipe that combines both. Great on a nice cold day!” - Sharonne
