Easy. Flavorful. Healthy. What more could you want in a weeknight entree?

I have recently discovered the sublime taste of honey and jalapenos. A match made in heaven. So, I decided to try this heavenly taste with chicken. Sure enough, it’s a winner. Highly, highly recommend when you need an easy meal. This really is 20 minutes from grocery bag to table.

And, yes. I know. Soy sauce is not technically a southwest ingredient. But. It adds umami as well as saltiness. Again, a winner.

Stop!  Don’t touch that back arrow!  You are really on Everyday Southwest and that is really a wonton sitting on those chopsticks.  What is a wonton doing on a Southwest food blog?  It’s here to announce our big October surprise.

We are proud to announce our new cookbook 200 Appetizers is finally here and it’s  just in time for the holiday party season.

Isn’t it beautiful?  200 Appetizers is our very first cookbook collaboration.  Donna and I have pulled out all the stops and filled the book with our biggest appetizer hits.  Of course, there are plenty of the Southwest flavors and the grill recipes that are so close to our hearts but, we have taken the opportunity to spread our wings and show off our favorite East Meets West Asian inspired recipes, Festive Holiday Fare, Updated Classics, Mediterranean Mix and even a few “city-fied” Elegant Fare recipes for those occasions when you really want to impress your guests.
