Pomegranate Molasses Barbecue Sauce

For this BBQ sauce, I was sent some pomegranate molasses as a sample to try, and I loved its sweet and sour, tangy kind of taste. I reckoned that it would work brilliantly in a barbecue sauce, and our kids agreed. You can use it as a barbecue mop in the last 30 minutes of cooking your meat or marinate meat in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking it up.

Turmeric Golden Milk with Turmeric Paste

This golden milk made from turmeric paste soothes a cold or sore throat and helps you to sleep better. Warm and delicious, it's great just before bed every evening. This recipe for turmeric paste yields enough for a few weeks. Store in the refrigerator, and reheat it in small amounts as needed.

Chocolate Chai Coffee Mix

I was craving Starbucks® chocolate chai tea latte when I made this. It is not a copycat recipe, simply tasty and easy. International Delight® 'Sweet Cream' is fabulous in this, if you like sweet coffee. Cardamom gives it the slight licorice taste; if you omit it, that's fine too.

Southern-Style Pig Tails

Pig tails are used in a lot of different cuisines. They are great as a meat dish with turnip greens, blackeye peas, or boiled cabbage. My recipe cooks the tails twice, and the result is a crispy crackling covering the tail that you can eat or save for crackling in cornbread. The crushed red pepper can be used liberally for a spicy taste. Be sure to buy pig tails that have a lot of meat around the upper part.
