Honey Chipotle Snacking Nuts

Sticking to the All the Proteins!! theme, but going plant-based this time, here is a recipe for Honey Chipotle Snacking Nuts. I know, I know, I usually make candied nuts around Christmas time, no they are great around the campfire or on the beach too, so why not do a summer version? A little bit sweet, a little bit spicy and a whole lot of snack-worthy!

Spicy Bourbon Maple Glazed Chicken Wings

Sometimes you just have a craving for wings, am I right? I’ve got a few recipes for wings on this and I usually make them aroung like the Superbowl, but I had a craving, so here we go.

Eat as is or with a side of Ranch or Blue Cheese.

Asparagus and Prosciutto Quiche

Springtime Lunch: Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus is a pretty classic combo and I happen to have Prosciutto in the house, so decided to go with a quiche for lunch. My quiche attempts have been hit-or-miss in the past, with some of them turning out quick dense. This one was light and fluffy though, and which a touch on the salty side (I should have compensated for the saltiness of the Prosciutto more), it was great. The recipe is written for a full-sized quiche (9 inch pan), but I just made a small one for me (6 inch pan). Lunch for tomorrow then too!
