Calling out to all the garlic bread lovers! This recipe is a keeper and I’m sure you’re gonna fall for the jalapeno version. It has everything you would look for; the crunch, the heat, and the cheesy goodness in every bite. It’s simple to make and even more delicious to eat, both kids and adults will equally love it.

Jalapeno Garlic Bread is definitely a party pleaser, it can be served as an appetizer or as a side with creamy soups, for example my Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup. It is best when served hot, right out of the oven. Although the dish may look spicy with the jalapenos, the heat is subdued perfectly by the flavors of cheese and mayonnaise, making it a kids favorite too.

(Thanksgiving chicken/turkey leftovers can also be used)

Your first worry after a huge feast or a Thanksgiving / Christmas party is the leftover food. You just don’t want to throw it away considering all the hard work you’ve put in to prepare it, and at the same time you’re bored to repeat it again for your next meal.  So, how do you make it fun and satisfy your dilemma? Well, that’s why you are here..!

When it comes to preparing sauces for a sandwich or salad, I prefer it to be creamy, tangy, loaded with herbs, and overall flavorful. Avocado brings a natural creaminess to any sauce, keeping it healthy without the need of any mayo. The tanginess from the lemon, and the green goodness from herbs like parsley & cilantro together works very well with the veggies and chicken for this recipe. I hope you love this Green Delight…

Sometimes very simple ingredients make a great dish, and that’s exactly how I felt about this recipe. Minimal ingredients, hardly any cooking time, easy to prepare, and the satisfaction you get after all the easy work just melts in with every bite. No wonder French fries became so popular!

This fairly simple recipe was on my radar for a while, in fact I have baked it a couple of times in the past but never had the patience nor could control my cravings from gobbling it down before photographing it. Finally it was after my hubby started discussing my plans with Thanksgiving and Christmas menus did I decide to get it done. Oh between, we both talk a lot about my ideas and all the recipes which come up in Pepper Delight. He is the pillar of my blog, not only is he a good taster and approves my dishes, but whenever I am blank and totally out of ideas, he is there as my savior (wink).

This baked version of potato wedges makes a wonderful appetizer and can be prepared throughout the year no matter what the occasion is. The use of garlic and Italian herb seasonings makes it rich in flavour, and finally baking it brings out the crispiness… With a generous amount of salt, you have a yummy snack in front of you…

I have used Russet potatoes which are mild, delicate, and starchy; perfect for baking. Their absorbent nature ensures an even flavour throughout each bite.

Tomato ketchup goes great with fries and wedges. I thought to try out a creamy version along with some tanginess, and boy! It does make a great combo…!!

Enjoy, Happy Cooking…!!!
