Good source of Vit. C, too.

When I have a cold, I like to eat chili spiced with hot sauce so I can feel the heat in my chest.
I use store bought jalapenos for this white turkey chili recipe I have. Made it last week and I cracked open a half pint of my home canned home grown jalapenos instead and added the same amount. O chi chonia! Hot Hot Hot. The hottest jalapenos that I have ever had. The chili was edible, barely. Just made some enchiladas today and added just a few. Don’t think I will bother growing too many this year, although I do like them stuffed with chees and sausage. Great appetizer. I bet your salsa is great.
I love spicy foods, and I do believe they are good for you.
There are plenty of chickens and eggs available to eat in the country-I’ve never cared for either one without hot peppers sliced up on the eggs or chicken-I like the taste of serranos with eggs.
I grow my own peppers, like my mom and aunts did/do on the ranch-I’m particularly fond of growing chili pequins to put in everything from vinegar sauce for steamed greens to pots of beef stew. Unlike so many hot peppers, the bushes will tolerate temperatures down to the mid-20’s, which happens at least a few times in winter out here.
My daily omelette HAS to have pickled jalapeño slices in it. And cheddar.
