Peri Peri BBQ Wings
Ingredients for Wings
2 lb chicken wings, separated into drums and flats
Seasoning blend (you may or may not use all of it) - 5 tbsp of each: smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, Indian red pepper, hot paprika, cumin + 2 tbsp kosher salt, + 1 tbsp baking powder
Ingredients for Sauce
½ cup Honey Chipotle barbecue sauce (purchased from Williams-Sonoma)
¼ cup Peri Peri sauce
3 tbsp sweet chili
2 tsp raw honey
½ apple cider vinegar
Dash salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit.
Clean and completely dry your chicken wings using paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss your chicken wings into the coating mixture and ensure that each wing is evenly coated.
Using a baking sheet (preferably with a wire rack), place the chicken wings in a single layer and cook for 20 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
After the last 15 minutes, remove the wings from the oven, turn on your oven’s broiler, brush the chicken wings with the sauce and broil for 1-2 minutes until caramelized.
Repeat on the opposite side of the wings.
NOTE: using a wire rack helps with the air circulation and ensures that the entire wing gets crispy.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve.
Enjoy!

Black Bean, Mushroom & Sweet Potato Quesadillas
Ingredients
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped into small cubes
½ carton baby bella or white mushrooms, finely chopped (or processed)
½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped (or processed)
Seasoning blend: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp granulated onion, 1 tsp granulated onion, ½ tsp ancho chili powder (or 1 tsp plain chili powder), ½ tsp ground oregano.
Mexican cheese blend (or your favorite shredded cheese)
Flour tortillas
Toppings, optional: guacamole, sour cream, sliced tomatoes, salsa
Fresh cilantro and lime juice for garnish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the sweet potato cubes and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Par-cook [partially cook] your sweet potatoes for 5 minutes in the microwave.
While your sweet potatoes are in the microwave, heat a medium-large pan with a few tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil has come to temperature, add in the onion and the mushrooms.
Season with a small pinch of salt and cook until the onion begins to become translucent.
Once the onion has become translucent, add in the black beans.
Once the sweet potatoes have finished, carefully add them to the vegetable mixture.
Season generously and cook until the black beans are warmed through and soft.
To assemble your quesadilla, lay down a layer of cheese on one side of the tortilla, add filling and fold over. Repeat until you have made your desired number of quesadillas.
Cook the quesadillas in the oven until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Top, garnish, and serve.
Enjoy!

Loaded Nachos
Thursday night is a very social night in my home, and for the occasion, I made a tray of loaded turkey nachos. Corn tortilla chips, ground turkey seasoned with many amazing spices (cumin, smoked paprika, hot paprika, garlic, onion, cilantro, etc), homemade queso, onions, tomatoes, and fresh pickled jalapeños.
Would you all be interested in a full recipe?

Wings, Two Ways
Late Post – for Labor Day, I decided to make an array of wings because, why not? I leaned toward the sweet & spicy combination with both flavors because there is something very satisfying about sticky sauce coating your fingers.
Honey Chipotle BBQ
Sweet Sesame Sambal
Wings were made using a variation of this recipe (x). Full recipes coming soon.

Many foolish mortals think of ‘ol Vincey as simply the ghouliest, ghostiest movie star of all time, and while they’re right about that (hells to the yeah!), the truth is that Vincent Price was so much more than a movie monstah: the man was a master chef and the author of two highly-regarded cookbooks!
A Treasury of Great Recipes (1965) and Come into the Kitchen Cook Book (1969) were written by Vincey and (le sigh) his wife, Mary Price (i.e. the luckiest dame in the world. Real talk.)
And today, my little cabbages, you have one of the dirtiest, naughtiest delights from A Treasury of Great Recipes by Mary & Vincent Price right at your fingertips:
Toad-In-The-Hole
Don’t be scurred - it’s easy, homies!
First, go to the store and get…
The Goods:
24 small breakfast sausages (precooked or uncooked, Vienna or vegetarian – it ain’t no thang, y’all)
1 tablespoon veggie oil
¼ teaspoon salty salt salt
2 eggies
1 cup moo-milk
1 cup flower
(oh, and make sure you have a muffin man tin pan, of course)
Every domesticated mortal oughta have one!
And now…
The Steps:
1. Keep the moo-milk and eggies at room temp.
2. Sift the flower and the salty salt salt into a bowl. Stir in the milk.
3. In another bowl, give the eggies a nice, long beating (they’ve been very naughty) until they’re nice and frothy (oh la la!). Then add them to the milk/flower/salt thang and beat them all together.
4. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes or so. While you’re waiting, preheat your adult-sized Easy-Bake Oven (you know you wish Hasbro actually made them) to 400 degrees
5. Heat the veggie oil in a skillet. Prick (!) the sausages with a fork and fry ‘em up ‘til they’re cooked (or until they’re warmed if they’re precooked sausages)
Damn, this is turning into a real sausage-fest isn’t it?
5. Place one sausage and a lil bit of oil from ye olde skillet in each cup of your muffin man tin pan. Then place the pan in the oven.
6. Pour the batter that you once gave such a merciless beating to into the heated muffin tin pan cups (along with the sausages) and bake ‘em for 15 minutes.
7. Ding! 15 minutes is up! Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake another 10 minutes until the batter is brown and puffayyy.
8. Let the Toad-In-The-Holes cool in their tins for a while before you serve (I know you wanna eat NOW, but pump the breaks, Turbo)
The sausages will be semi-hidden in the puffy pastry, delivering a juicy and meaty surprise to your friends when they bite into your culinary creation.

And there you have it, cabbages: the story of how Vincent Price made cooking sexy.
Now go and make him proud, you libidinous little chef, you!
