Spicy Snack Mix
I've worked on the tiny details of this simple spicy snack mix recipe for years and years. My friends ask me to bring a batch every time I come over.
Poppy Seed-Lemon Bars
The bright flavor of lemon combined with poppy seeds really kicks the traditional lemon bar up a notch. They're vibrant, fresh tasting, and pleasantly sweet. I like to use black poppy seeds for a pop of color and just a little more eye appeal.
Shrimp Stock
Great shrimp stock to use as a base for gumbo, étouffée, or any other seafood dish. You can freeze it in ice cube trays and thaw it as needed for later use.
