This is a spicy alternative to classic basil pesto. You can control the spiciness by using less jalapeno and by removing the seeds and white membrane of the pepper before adding it to the pesto. If you like the spice, just throw it all in!

Easy Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef)
Bulgogi, or Korean barbecued beef, is made with marinated sliced beef. Most recipes call for crushed pear to tenderize the meat. My boyfriend's Korean mother says Coca-Cola can also be used for the same purpose. This recipe uses very thinly-sliced sirloin steak, so tenderization isn't necessary. It's delicious served with rice, lettuce leaves, and chile paste or kimchi.
Pat's Baked Oatmeal
My good friend Pat gave me this recipe. I make it every week. It is healthy and fills you up. Use whatever frozen fruit you like. You can also add fresh fruit. Can be served with milk or ice cream for breakfast or a treat.
Homemade Tomato Juice Cocktail
Delicious tomato juice for a fraction of the cost of store-purchased. Adjust lemon, salt, and sugar to taste. Almost 7 cups of juice for about $1.00! I prefer the natural tomato paste.
