Raw Winter Squash with Brown Butter, Pecans, and Currants Recipe

This salad is delicious.

Chipotle Powder Recipe

I always leave a crop of jalapeños on the bushes until they turn beautifully red—that is when their flavor is the best for powdering.

Charred Poblano Pepper Dip Recipe

Smoky, earthy, spicy, funky, and fresh this dip is delicious on sandwiches and burgers, on top of a roast, or a dressing for a salad.

If you are looking for something with a good amount of heat - feel free to add in some jalapeños as well. Just treat them the same way as the poblanos.

But this one, I keep coming back to—my favorite in a good strong margarita.
