Sometimes, your lunch is just so good that you want to share it with the entire world, like today. This is what happens when the garden gives you an overload of fruits (cherry tomatoes are fruits, right?); the thyme is from the garden too. This was amazingly delicious and even the pix came out better than usual. Not bad for a Friday!

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!
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. The base recipe is always the same (baking on a wire rack); it’s just the sauce that varies. This time, I made a sweeter Bourbon Maple Glaze, with a little bit of a hot sauce kick. Eat as is or with a side of Ranch or Blue Cheese.
Here’s a cleaver little twist on your standard biscuit — it’s a muffin instead! I mean, it tastes just like your standard, flakey herb and parm biscuit — great with soup! — but “individually wrapped” like a muffin. Either way, tasty and a great accompaniment to soups or salads, or even for breakfast along side bacon and eggs. Best to use fresh herbs in this recipe, as the dried sort taste chalky!
