Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole with Scorpion Hot sauce
Guacamole with Fat Cat Scorpion Pepper Sauce

Scorpion Hot Sauce Guacamole! I received a bottle of Fat Cat Chairman Meow’s Revenge Scorpion Sauce as a housewarming gift. I been wanting to try it on something or in something for awhile. Even though I have no problem eating hot and spicy things, I was a little nervous about it being a scorpion pepper sauce, and with it being called the Chairman Meows Revenge, I didnt want to find out why it was called that!

I went to Fat Cats website to see if I could find some recipes that used their sauces. I was also curious of what else they made in the way of the hot and spicy world. Scrolling through the recipes, I noticed they had a guacamole recipe using the scorpion pepper sauce. It seemed pretty easy to make so I gave it a whirl. The recipe is as follows from their website.

Ingredients for the scorpion pepper guacamole hot sauce

Ingredients:

2 Hass avocados
1 clove of garlic, minced
3 tablespoons white onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt to taste
pinch of sugar
1-4 tablespoons Fat Cat Chairman Meow’s Revenge (depending on desired heat level)

Instructions:

Split avocados in half. Discard central pit and scoop flesh into a large bowl.

Add garlic, onion, tomato, cilantro and lime juice to bowl and mash everything together using a potato masher or fork until well-mashed and well-incorporated.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of Fat Cat Chairman Meow’s Revenge sauce and pinch of sugar and taste for heat. For more heat, add one more tablespoon and taste again.

Note: Each tablespoon added will increase the heat quotient one level – 1 tablespoon for mild, 2 for medium, etc.

Taste for salt, adjusting as needed.

Corn Waffles With Ghost Pepper Blueberry Hot Sauce

Final Product of Corn Waffles with Ghost Pepper Blueberry Hot Sauce

I got some Ghost Pepper Hot sauce. So I love hot sauce. I have it with almost every meal. I have it so much that I am almost always out of it. I have it so much that its the gift that people get me when they cant think of what to get me. Ill try it all. I dont know what it is about it but I just remember always having it. I remember being 8 or 9 and having Tabasco Sauce. I even remember my brother daring me to put it on some pineapple I had, it wasnt bad as I recall. Although I dont think Id try it now.

So Im in the store, World Market. Its an international food store. I go there to get my imported english tea. So I pick up my tea and Im walking up and down the aisles to make sure there isnt anything else I wanted. Thats when my eye caught it….. Ghost Pepper Blueberry Hot Sauce. It is made by the Bravado Spice Company.

Ive heard of this company before, I have gotten their jalapeno pineapple margarita mix. That is really good. I just had to pick this up! It just sounds so good! It was only $5.99. They had many different flavors of hot sauce at this store from Bravado Spice. Looks like Ill have to try them all!

They only problem I have is what to put it on? I was thinking it was too sweet to put on a taco or some chicken. I was looking through the cupboard and came across a box of Jiffy cornbread mix. Yes!!! I have made corn waffles before and I think this sauce would be perfect for it! I have the Jiffy mix cookbook and found the recipe.

All you have to do is follow the instructions on the back and add 2 tbs of shortening. Heres the short video I made….

My critique on the sauce….I thought it was going to be hotter. I could use some more heat. Also I thought it could also be a little sweeter. I ended up adding some honey to my waffles as well. It was ok. Im not sure what else I could use it on. Maybe try it on some pork. We will see. Anyway….thanks for visiting and let me know what you think! Cheers…..

Amazing Spicy Sticky Habanero Chicken Wings

Smoked Spicy Sticky Habanero Chicken Wings

I made the most wonderful spicy sticky smoked habanero chicken wings. I love spicy foods and I got the new cookbook by Michael Hulquist called Spicy Lovers Cookbook.

It has many wonderful recipes in it. The first one that caught my eye was the Habanero Chicken Wings. They are spicy and sweet. I changed some of the recipe to make it my own and I smoked them on the grill instead of putting them in the oven which I think makes them so much more tasty. In addition to habaneros, it calls for hot pepper flakes. I also love the soy sauce and honey thats in it as well. The recipe is as follows…..

2 lbs Chicken Wings

1 tbsp of sesame oil plus 1 tsp divided

1 tbsp of hot pepper flakes plus 1 tsp divided

Salt and Pepper to taste

2 Habanero Peppers chopped

1 tsp ginger

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup honey

Get your grill ready to smoke. Whatever kind of smoking method you use, get that ready. While thats going on toss the wings in 1 tsp of the oil, 1 tsp of the red pepper flakes and salt and pepper.

When the grill is ready, throw the wings on there and smoke til they are done. About 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Chop the habaneros up, make sure you dont touch your face or anything else when chopping and wash your hands right after. Or wear gloves if you have to and mix them with the rest of the ingredients and toss together, thats it. Eat em up!

Please watch my video on the Spicy Smoked Habanero Chicken Wings and let me know what you think! Follow me on Instagram to see everything I do! Leave a comment and sign up for the newsletter. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers….

Healthy Keto Baby Back Ribs

Baby Back Ribs Done!

Baby Back Ribs are some of the easiest things to make on the grill. If you use sugar free rub then they are perfectly keto and healthy. They dont have as much meat as St. Louis Style ribs buts thats ok, they still turn out wonderful and dont take as long.

Baby Back Ribs
Baby Back Ribs

First things first. Get a slab of baby back ribs. Open the package and lay them out on a cookie sheet that will fit the slab.

Next, turn the ribs over and use a knife to take the membrane off the back of the ribs. Use a paper towel to help you do this. Just get it started, it will all come off. The reason to do this is to get the rub we are applying down in the ribs.

Next, rub the ribs with a sugar free rub to keep it keto. Any rub will do, as long as its sugar free. I use the rub I get from pitbarrelcooker.com

Next, put the ribs in your smoker or PBC or whatever you are using. I use the Pit Barrel Cooker because its very simple and the ribs turn out great. If you are using a charcoal grill, I suggest using cherry wood chips and the 3-2-1 method. You can find about that at right here.

Pulling the Baby Back Ribs

Pull the ribs when the bones are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch exposed from the meat.

Now if you like your ribs with sauce, then put it on right after or just put some on your plate to dip. Either way if you are doing keto, make sure its sugar free and healthy.

There you have it, healthy, keto baby back ribs on the grill. If you put sauce on it, you may want to put it back on the grill for 30 minutes to set it but I dont think this is necessary, just what I think. Anyway. Until next time….Cheers.

Diet Over. Back to Grilling!

Well, the Bone Broth Diet is over. I lost a total of 16 pounds. I was hoping for 20 but 16 is good. It wasnt too tough of a diet. The hardest part was getting used to fasting and going out to mexican and not eating chips. I didnt have any beer for the 21 days so that was tough for me as well.

Something I didnt talk about on this journey is the constipation and going to the bathroom. Im not sure if it was going keto or not but it messed up my bathroom habits a bunch. Sometimes I wouldnt go to the bathroom for a day or some days I would be in there a lot. I didnt like those days. I also didnt like the low energy if gave me for running. At first i could barely run without walking but at the end I ran 12 miles no problem.

I would recommend this diet. Its not too tough and not too long. Just I really got sick of the bone broth. Switching to smoothie helped. I like those. Anyway, if you have any questions let me know. Now Im gonna get some grilling pics and recipes! Cheers!

Bone Broth Diet Day 21

Last Day!!! Woot Woot! Finally its over! Cant wait to dive in to those tortilla chips and cookies! I just need to take it easy. According to the book you need to switch to 80/20. 80 percent good and 20 percent bad. Lets see if I can do it.

Today I ran 12 miles. I didnt get tired or feel like I had low energy. It actually felt really good. I dont know if my body finally started to use my fat as energy or what but I was happy with it. I had an omelette with gouda cheese after that. Then I had some dark chocolate covered almonds for a snack. I smoked some italian sausages for dinner. I made zucchini noodles and homemade spaghetti sauce as well. That was good. I had some whiskey as well. I probably shouldnt have done that because I may have eaten some cookies. Whoops. Oh well last day.

Ill post my round of the diet tomorrow with the total weight loss and my feelings on the whole diet then ill get back to grilling!! Cheers….

Bone Broth Diet Day 20

Well. Im almost done with the diet. Couple more days to go. I think I made a mistake this day. I bought a huge bag of almonds to snack on but I keep snacking on them all day. I know some are good in moderation but just snacking on them all day, I dont think it helps for keto. Oh well we will see. Im almost done anyway. I was good except for that. I had scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, leftover ribs and asparagus for lunch and scrambled eggs and leftover pork tenderloin for dinner. Nothing exciting happened for the day. I felt fine. Like I said just the almonds were a problem for me. I got one more day to go and Ill be happier! Cheers….

Bone Broth Diet Day 19

So good to eat again! Im so happy my last fast day for this 21 day diet is behind me! Although I think its key to this diet, having the intermittent fasting. If that wasnt done, I dont think I would have lost as much weight.

I got up in the morning and ran 5 miles. It went surprisingly well. I wasnt sure when I headed out how much energy I would have on account of the fast day I had yesterday. I did well. I was able to complete the run, slower than usual but still got it done. It felt great. I think exercising is also key to this diet, it accelerates the weight loss.

I had my omelette for breakfast with leftover pork loin in it. I went to the movies again and wanted that popcorn! But I didnt have any. I took some habanero almonds with me and it helped me get through. I read that on the keto diet that a small amount of almonds is ok. I made another omelette for lunch and had pork rinds and salsa. That wasnt too bad. Glad I could crunch on something. For dinner i smoked some ribs on the grill. I also had some bbq sauce with it. I know there is sugar in it but it was minimal so I had it anyway. I made cornbread as well because my son wanted it but I managed to stay away from it. Now the hardest part…. I wanted to try to make cookies on the grill so I did. I couldnt stay away from those. I tried one tiny, I hope it didnt through off my diet. But it was only one and it was tiny. It was so so good! Cant wait to have more when Im off this diet.

Couple more days….Cheers
