I'm a little late for Chinese New Year, but I thought I'd write about how to make hot Chinese mustard. This is an easy homemade sauce recipe to make. The Husband loves this hot mustard on his eggrolls and fried rice, but our local Chinese restaurant is really stingy with the sauces. Even though I love their food, sometimes I go out of my way to another restaurant that does give me the hot mustard packets that he loves. Well, no more. Never be without this delicious spicy mustard again!

I was talking about my site the other day, and someone made a recipe request: McDonald's Sweet and Spicy Jam copycat recipe! It's the first request that I've had. This recipe took quite a while to figure out, mostly because I never had it. So I had to do a bunch of reading online of what it was supposed to taste like, along with the ingredients list on the little container itself. If you've ever tasted it, give me a heads up about how authentic it is. Either way, I've heard it's pretty good!

This is a wonderful recipe for how to make homemade strawberry jam. You gotta trust me, it's so much better than the store bought stuff, which contains all sorts of preservative and other yucky stuff. And it only has three ingredients: strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. I love to collect strawberries from my patch of evergreens. They are bursting with flavor ... but I don't get that many of them. I freeze them and make this jam. But don't worry, you can use store bought strawberries, too.

I created this Pad Thai sauce recipe without tamarind because tamarind is so difficult to find unless you order it on Amazon. I live right near an Asian grocery story, and I still can't find it. Really, who needs to have yet another bottle hogging up space in the fridge? Totally not necessary! This sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, spicy, and savory, and it is enough for one family meal (1 pound of meat and 16 ounces of rice noodles). Why not skip that Thai takeout?

Jimmy Johns recently discontinued their Kickin' Ranch, a cult favorite. I love their sandwiches and especially this sauce, so I had to recreate it. Introducing my Jimmy John's Kickin' Ranch copycat recipe. Kickin' Ranch can be used as a dip for chips or veggies, a condiment for sandwiches, and a drizzle over chicken. Want more heat? Then add more peppers and pepper juice, or give it a bit of cayenne pepper. Want it more dip-y and less sauce-y? Then reduce the half and half. Easy!

This spicy mustard dipping sauce recipe is so delicious with some "halfway" air fried chicken nuggets. Mustard is just so darned good on chicken. Almost the perfect pair. Not quite as good as French fries and ketchup or peanut and jelly ... but still pretty darned good. This mustard is made from spicy brown, but you could also make it from Dijon or even Coleman's (which has whopping kick). The honey in the dipping sauce adds a sweet counterpoint that tames the mustard's robust character.

What Is Agave Queso Sauce? (Recipe)

Our local taco joint serves the most amazing sauce for their tacos. I asked the owner about it, and I needed to try to make it at home. What is agave queso sauce? It sounds very complicated, but it actually quite simple to make. I was originally going to write a post about Thanksgiving, but then the site went down unexpectedly. On one hand, this was great because my site got so much traffic that it kept crashing the host server. On the other hand, it sucked because then I had to do a bunch of work.
