Cookbook creator says: If you want a hot jelly you found it, serve with crackers, pita bread, or your favorite cocktail bread, but go lightly as it can burn your throat. Also could be used to jazz up your favorite dish.

I'm playing around with Jambalaya recipes, trying to get close to the one I've been making my family using a seasoning that is no longer available. This one uses a cajun seasoning that I made - recipe can be found her on spark recipes.

This is definitely spicy, adjust the cajun seasoning and tabasco to your palette.

This is really good with a piece of french bread to sop up the juice.

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!

I got this from the Fix It and Forget It Lightly cookbook. It calls for any diet soda. I actually used Diet Dr. Pepper. I used Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce. Finally, I'm not an onion person, so I skipped them--and used minced onion instead. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious! The only hard part is eating JUST ONE SERVING!

Make this restaurant favorite at home for a quick snack.

The vegetables can marinate for a couple of hours, so all you'll have to do at party time is arrange them on a platter and top with olives and cheese. Immediately place the prepared vegetables in the marinade so they won't discolor. Be sure to use fresh mozzarella, which comes packed in water and is usually found with the specialty cheeses. Coarsely chop leftovers and toss with pasta for a cold salad.
