Peruvian Yogurt Sauce
My wife and I went to a Peruvian restaurant and they served a yogurt sauce with their empanadas. It was so good that I had to recreate it at home. My Peruvian yogurt sauce is cool, spicy and flavorful. Aromatic cilantro, spicy Serrano peppers, pungent garlic and cool yogurt blend harmoniously in this versatile sauce. I’ve used it on gyros, spanikopita, flap meat and empanadas. Because it’s so easy to make, we always have some on hand. Give it a try and let me know what you pair with it. |

Creative Corn Bread
Moist cornbread with various toppings. Goes great with chili, football or just by itself with a little honey butter. Adding cream corn is the secret here. The cream sauce makes it extra moist and the corn gives it extra texture. I top some of them with bacon (you can't go wrong there), some with jalapenos and some I keep traditional. |
