Pupusas (El Salvadorian Grilled Cheese) - Zestuous Don’t be afraid to try the unexpected. One day, I was really craving tacos. Not Taco Bell tacos, but real heart and soul authentic tacos. Usually, it’s easy to find a taco truck in east Las Vegas, but this specific day, there were none on my route. As my stomach growled and I neared Jack in the Box, I noticed a restaurant that said Salvadorian and Mexican food. Located at the corner of Nellis and Bonanza, Esmeralda’s Café is tucked in behind a liquor store near the A&W. On the chalkboard by the register, they had a daily special that had tacos, so I placed my order. I observed the older woman flattening dough with her hands and was curious what she was making. I typed that into my phone and discovered that these corn meal pockets of dough were filled with ingredients like cheese, pork and/or beans. Although my order was almost ready and I had been craving tacos all day, I had to try a pupusa. I ran into the house, released the hounds and threw myself to the table. Ingredients Instructions

Appetizer Recipe: Atomic Buffalo Turds - BBQ Addicts Cooking up a barbecue feast for your friends and family can (and will) be an all day affair. Depending on the size of your cut, briskets and pork butts can take every bit of 18 hours to slow smoke to perfection. As much as I like starving myself all day in anticipation of the gluttony that’s soon to come, my willpower tends to falter somewhere around the noon hour. Since the smoker is already chugging away, there’s no need to power up the oven for that well deserved mid-day snack. Instead, I prefer to toss in a few stuffed jalapeno peppers…especially the ones dubbed “Atomic Buffalo Turds”!!! These smokey treats are really easy to prepare, and you may even have most of the ingredients hanging out in your fridge already: 12 fresh jalapeno peppers 12 slices of bacon 24 little smokies 1 package of cream cheese (room temperature) 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cayenne pepperSweet barbecue rub To start the construction of the atomic buffalo turds, you’ll first want to wash and trim the jalapeno peppers.

make-your-own-pizza party - hollywood housewife When we have the whole extended family at the lake each July, we each take a night to provide dinner, because otherwise trying to coordinate dinner for 25 people every evening is too arduous. This year my sister-in-law did a make-your-own-pizza dinner and it was so genius that I blatantly stole the idea and had one of my own over the weekend. It's so easy, and great for groups. Here's how I did it: After rolling out a big 'ole sheet of butcher paper onto my kitchen island, I plunked all the ingredients right on top and wrote the instructions on the paper. (I actually used painters paper from Home Depot because that's what I had in the garage.) We grilled the pizzas instead of baking them, saving tons of time and mess. Guests were instructed to coat their naan with olive oil to avoid burning on the grill. Then, toppings! There was pizza sauce, obviously (I just used Ragu pizza sauce - shhhhhh, don't tell) and loads of cheese. Our friends loved it!
