Cheyenne Hot Sauce

So, I cut off the Cheyenne peppers and started fermenting them in vinegar. It'll take a while, but I love cooking from scratch and trying new things. I also like cooking very slowly, so this processes was naturally intriguing to me.

Electric Smoker

I am grateful for this electric smoker. I ran out of fire after which someone brought some food that they wanted cooked. So, I turned on this smoker and set the temperature and timer. You can see the temperature, and I don't have to do much to get their food cooked.

Cheyenne Peppers

I am very grateful for nature. I tend to cook from scratch. I've been looking for a place that sells Cheyenne peppers, but have yet to find one in San Antonio. So, I started planting and growing peppers of my own. Pretty soon, these peppers are going to be a spicy hot sauce.

Two Bros BBQ

I'm grateful that every now and then I can come to a place where BBQ is cooked and served to us. I'm usually the cook, and I slow cook BBQ. For it to be smoked for us means that I have that much more time for my family, and they have a playground set. How cool is that?

Le Madeline

We stopped by to get some food to go and ended up getting the desert. We couldn't resist. I love their presentation. Le Madeline has great food, and even though we couldn't eat there this time, we love their atmosphere as well.

Breakfast

I enjoy having weekends when the family can actually sit down together and eat breakfast. It puts a slower pace on the weekend than that of the busy weeks, which happens to fly by. I just happened to look up and have my phone in my hand at this moment. I almost didn't capture this image.

Marsala

I'm always learning new things in the kitchen. I'm glad that I came across a recipe that led me to learn that Marsala wine is from a certain area in Italy. I've tasted food with Marsala wine, but I've never tried cooking with it. It is delicious, bringing another level of cooking to my kitchen.

Chicken Adobo

I'm grateful that my family loves eating, trying, and cooking new foods. This is a picture of Chicken Adobo, a Philippine enjoyed dish. It is very healthy and tasty. We make so many dishes that We sometimes do not make a dish again. I'll definitely have to incorporate this dish into our regular menu.

Apple Butter

I really appreciate cooking from scratch. I enjoy creative ideas in the kitchen. These apples are going to be applesauce when they finish cooking. After that, they are going to simmer in a crock pot over night. Once they become apple butter, they are going into honey barbecue sauce to make sweet and sassy barbecue sauce. I love being able to go through the entire process.

Smoking BBQ

I am grateful for weekends and living in Texas. I can relax and slow-cook a brisket in the wonderful weather in January. The family has come over, and everyone is having a nice and relaxing day. I'm glad that my father decided to join me in cooking everything else. In my family, this is just another weekend.
