Creamy Jalapeno Dip

We grew a ton of jalapeno peppers this year and they are so much hotter than the ones from the store.   I made this dip last weekend and it was a big hit.  We’ve put this stuff on everything!!  We’ve used it as a chip dip, put it on baked potatoes, and on sautéed zucchini.  It’s so delish!  Just throw everything together in a food processor and blend it until smooth. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors mix together.  I have a hard time waiting!!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe

I can’t seem to keep up with Bananas lately before they start getting overly ripe.  I started making Banana Bread because my kids like it but also because it is very easy to make.  Here is a very simple recipe for the Banana Bread I use regularly. You can easily add different ingredients to make it your own. For example, nuts or different kinds of chocolate chips

Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

As part of our farm share this summer, we got some cayenne peppers. I had never grown cayenne peppers and really didn’t know what to do with them. I don’t think that many of our fellow farm sharers knew what to do with them either because instead of rationing them out like all the other produce, they were in a box that said “help yourself”. So, I took a bunch……about 200. I did a little research and realized that there were two things that we eat pretty regularly that are made from cayenne peppers……crushed red pepper flakes and Frank’s Red Hot sauce
