Seems a little late to finally start this for the year but that's simply because my years blend together as far as the growing season being able to grow all year long. Still have some winter carrots in the ground (small harvest pictured), lots of collard greens and my artichoke plants are...

Every work day for breakfast I eat an everything bagel with cream cheese and pepper relish. I've had this routine for at least 7 years now. I eat so much I feel I should share this super simple recipe. This stuff is great on Hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, or mixing into aioli or mustard for a...

Another year has begun. This year as the last season comes to an end. Tonight Jan2 is our first frost of winter. So as I'm thinking of the grow season ahead. I am also pulling my final harvest. Had a terrible 2021 season due to Hurricane Ida. But I learned a lot about preparing for such an...

Didn't have the best growing season thanks to improper planning and a major hurricane. Despite the hardships. I managed to get enough for some small batches of sauce. The first "test" batch I'm calling "campfire hot sauce". Very pleased with how this came together. Ingredients- Fermented ripe...

I have a red Scotch bonnet plant that is very healthy. Great canopy filled with fruit all season long. Nice bright red shiny pods. However since hurricane Ida came through. Every pod ripens to a dark orange. Now I don't necessarily think the storm had anything to do with it. I'm actually...

If you love habanero as much as I do. I know you'll enjoy this stuff. Heat level is higher than expected and the habanero flavor is pungent. The crunch it gives goes great on pizza or burgers but my favorite is adding to tacos.

So the wife and I signed up for the monthly box from heatonist. Pretty impressed with this first box and I am quite pleased that it did not include anything I have had yet. Excited to share my thoughts after we sample them. Box included Hellfire Kranked, Hoff's Haus sauce, and Señor Lechuga...
