The classics are a classics for a reason, and the Croque Madame falls into that category! It's definitely a rich, salty, savory sandwich so I add a little more flavor and some heat with Papa's Pepper to cut through some of that richness. I also add bacon to mine because everything is better with bacon! Don't let trying to make a classic intimidate you! This dish only has a couple parts and they come together easily and beautifully!
I think some people are scared of pork because if not cooked properly it does dry out. Well, I can assure you that is not the case here! This jalapeno glazed pork loin is juicy, savory, spicy and a little sweet for flavor packed bite after bite!
Okay okay, it's on a plate in the picture for your viewing pleasure, but it really works in a bowl as well! I love egg rolls, I really do. Every time we order Chinese food I always get an extra egg roll, that's how much I love them. I don't always like all the carbs though, so that's when I started making egg roll in a bowl. It really has all the great flavors of a delicious hot egg roll, just a little healthier! Add the wonderful spicy, sweet and tangy sauce and it's a bite that's sure to please!
These enchiladas are really my favorite Mexican food. I love everything about them. The corn tortilla surrounding that savory wonderful beef topped with the flavorful and spicy red sauce, it is just perfection! Just when you thought it could not get any better, then comes the white cheese sauce and WOW!
I grew up in Maryland and one thing every Marylander knows is that Old Bay can be used on anything, and it can, especially seafood. There is however more to the seafood palate that just Old Bay! That's what the driving force was behind this flavor explosion of Phire-cracker Blackened Shrimp with lemon Beurre Blanc sauce! It's smokey and spicy coating on the sweet shrimp along with a tangy and buttery lemon sauce! It's really a pairing that rocks your tastes buds in an incredible way!
