Some Like It Hot-

recipes to wake up your taste-buds! This is the first Monday Inspiration post of 2017. I love shining the light on bloggers who share at Katherines Corner.  I’ll let you in on a little secret…come a little closer….I never used to like spicy things. I know, you are surprised aren’t you? I make spicy recipes all of the time. Almost 18 years ago the spiciest thing I ever ate was nacho cheese in a jar!  Hold onto your hats friends, I used to dip my popcorn in the nacho cheese! I know it is weird, but I am okay with it. Have you tried it? Hubby took me to a “authentic” Mexican restaurant and I fell in love with it all. The chips and salsa, the wonderful chicken tacos, oh and that rice! I don’t know what is in that wonderful spicy yellow rice, but I loved it! I was hooked, my very favorite Chinese food took a step back and Mexican food took its place. Now with so many dietary restrictions we don’t eat out anymore. So I do my best to create recipes that have some similarities to those we used to eat. I can’t find any yellow corn meal that doesn’t have lime or citrus in it. I would really like to make some corn tortillas. Do you know where or if, there is such a thing? This weeks theme is,  “some like it hot”. Let bring some wonderful spicy dishes to your table.

Not familiar with Monday inspirations? No problem here’s the scoop. Monday inspirations has taken the place of Make It Monday. Still inspiring us in a zillion ways but with one very fun twist. I will select a theme, but when you share your posts you won’t know what theme I have selected. Aha a little mystery! Then I will share some of your wonderful posts. I will still be featuring a few other selected posts at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop  too. Just a reminder that all of the photos belong to their respective blogs unless otherwise indicated. Please pin from the source to assure bloggers are getting the credit they deserve. Each image is clickable.
