My first homemade hot sauce


Since our family started to eat food spicier and spicier, I’ve decided to try to make my own homemade hot sauce. The first one I chose is after a recipe from www.caribbeanpot.com. I chose “the blazing mango and peach hot sauce but actually used orange juice and peach instead. The sauce is amazing in taste but very hot so next time I will try it with different type of peppers.

Ingredients:

  • 30 g ghost peppers
  • 30 g Wiri-Wiri hot peppers
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 4 halves canned peaches
  • 1/2 cup peach canned juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Hungarian paprika
  • 1/3 tbsp smoked paprika

Potato and leeks soup


I don’t know if it’s because of the winter or is just me, but I decided to go for another soup. This time I choose a soup from one of the blogs I follow and admire, Sara Makes Soup. I change few things in the recipe since all my family is on some sort of diet. My ingredients are as follows:

  • 2 tbsp bacon bits
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 3 green onions, diced
  • 1 giant round garlic clove, minced
  • 4 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 parsley root
  • 3 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1.5 L Chicken Stock
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1″ cubes
  • 1 sweet potato, chopped into 1″ cubes
  • 1 sprig of thyme, washed
  • 1 cup of 2% milk
  • meat from 2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into cubs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • some parsley, chopped.
