Best Buffalo Sauce Ever!

No matter how you make your chicken wings: baked, broiled, deep fried, grilled, breaded, un-breaded, bone-in, or boneless, the sauce is the boss! Having the perfect wing sauce can take delicious, juicy wings to the next level. There are so many sauces out there but I like to keep it simple and stick with a classic:  buffalo sauce. In my old age 😉  I tend to steer more to the milder side of things but I still enjoy a nice kick of heat and flavor mixed in. For buffalo wing sauce I like to use Frank's because it works perfectly for this recipe and goes great on the wings. I would say this recipe is about a medium in heat but if you like things 🔥🔥🔥 hot then add less butter. If you prefer things more mild then add more butter, it's that simple. The good thing about this sauce is that it's so tasty you really can put it on anything!

Ingredients 

coats about 14 wings

1/4 cup Frank's Red hot sauce

3 Tablespoons Unsalted butter

2 Tablepoons Brown sugar

2 teaspoons Honey

2 teaspoons Lemon juice

Preparation 

Add all ingredients to a small sauce pot and warm over low heat. Stir occasionally until all ingredients are melted together and sauce is formed. Toss with wings and enjoy. Sauce can be stored and refrigerated.

Meatless Monday: Superfood Tacos!

I'm always looking for healthy, simple, and tasty recipes to serve my family. I've given myself a challenge to make Monday's dinner's meatless. I'm hoping to make something so delicious that we don't even miss the meat, or even notice that it's gone! I decided to start off this week with these sweet potato tacos everyone is buzzing about...so good! You basically just add sweet potatoes to a pot of grains and cook them like you'd normally prepare the grains and what you get is an awesome filling for some amazing tacos. I decided to use a blend of super grains: red and white quinoa, millet and buckwheat but this recipe works the exact same with just quinoa. This super food version is everything you want a taco to be: yummy, filling, and fun to eat!

Ingredients

serves about 4
1 medium sweet potato, small diced
1 cup of quinoa (or super grains blend)
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation
In a medium sauce pan, bring 2 cups of water, sweet potato, quinoa and salt to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and let cook until all liquid is absorbed (about 20 minutes). Serve with white corn tortillas and cabbage topping. Garnish with cilantro and sour cream.

Cabbage topping
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)

Preparation
In a small saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cabbage and remaining ingredients. Cook until tender. Serve as topping for tacos.
