Slice a banana length wise stuff it with marshmallows and peanut butter chips, wrap it on foil and throw it over some coals. Its great with ice cream.

Another good one a apple with the core removed cover with cinnamon, sugar and butter and stuffed with caramels. Wrap it in foils and let it bake over coals

I make it with bosch and anjou pears, then I heat up some butter in a pan and cook it again with vanilla and use it as a filling for croissant french toast. Then on top with a little mascarpone to finish.

I use a couple of cloves when I make salsa verde. I simmer the tomatillos in a bit of water with cloves and a bay leaf. The flavor is subtle and it makes a huge difference.

We used the non food grade to get rid of a flea infestation our backyard. It worked very well. I always recommend it to any friends with bug problems. I will say that is recommended that you wear a mask when applying to because the dust is very abrasive.

Make Guajillo salsa throw it in a pan to heat it up, then toss in the shredded chicken. I pu that in corn tortillas topped with shredded cabbage, cilantro, and crema, then squeeze a little lime on top. Might be my favorite taco.

I use a comal for everything form reheating tortillas and toasting chiles, to making pancakes. My mom has had the same one for about as long as I have been alive and my wife and I bought one when we got married (4 years ago). Once you have it seasoned properly they are priceless.

This makes for a very tasty chicken, in addition to this I like to stick citrus fruit with some holes poked in it, into the cavity of the bird before it goes in.

First I start with good sourdough or this tuscan bread we always get, smeared ith a bit of herbed butter and toasted on a skillet. Add mayo to the bread top with whatever good tomato we can get our hands on (I like the tomato touching the mayo so the juice can mix). Thick cut bacon about 4 pieces, Bibb or butter leaf lettuce then another piece of toast with mayo.Then eat whatever tomato is left with some salt or greek seasoning.
