Papa's Pepper Peanut Butter Pie with Spicy Dark Chocolate Ganache

I did it and my neighbor tested it!  I'm not a dessert guy, I really don't like sweets that much at all, unless it involves peanut butter.  Peanut butter is definitely my weakness.  So I thought I would created a peanut butter pie for the holiday season and what goes great with peanut butter, yup, chocolate!  Not just any chocolate, spicy dark chocolate!  What a flavor combination it is!  So, back to the first sentence, I did it, I made a peanut butter pie.  My neighbor, who self admittedly said peanut butter pie is his favorite and he's tried a BUNCH of them, said this was the best he has ever had.  Is it really that good?  Make it for...

Papa's Pepper Crispy, Buttery Waffles with Hot Honey Sauce

I'll admit it, I'm kinda a waffle snob, in that I like them done just right.  Waffles for me need to have a crispy exterior and a soft pillowy interior and that's exactly what I have created here.  The addition of a little cornstarch really enhances that crispy exterior on these waffles.  The hot honey sauce was inspired by a brilliant chef that I follow on social media and is literally good on anything from waffles to fried chicken!  I have learned and gained inspiration from some really great chefs along the way and this sauce is a result of that!  I hope you enjoy and look for, and gain, some inspiration along your culinary journey as well!

Papa's Pepper Chicken Pizzaolia

I always say that good food doesn't have to be complicated and this Chicken Pizzaolia is a prime example of that. I get frustrated when I find a recipe I really like and one of the ingredients is "Ground bark of an XYZ tree found only in the northern most mountains of Europe", that's not this dish.  This dish comes together quickly and only uses ingredients that you probably already have on hand.   The best part of this dish is how the sauce reduces down into a sweet, tangy and spicy tomato sauce.  Give it whirl and I'm certain you will add this to your culinary arsenal!
