Do you have a favorite flavor combo? One that your eye ALWAYS head to on a menu at dinner?
I definitely do. I feel like it is a little bit weird.
I have an obsession with everything and anything SWEET AND SPICY! The contradiction is fabulous to me.
I think almost half of my recipes on the blog so far are categorized as sweet and spicy.
SWEET AND SPICY recipes pictured above:
Cracked Black Pepper Kettle Popcorn Sweet & Spicy Shrimp and Veggie Pasta Red Curried Vegetable Tomato Soup Shrimp and Scallop Stir Fry Taiwan Ramen Noodle Soup Chipotle Honey Glazed Squash Beef Lettuce Wraps Cocktail Meatballs The sauce on this pizzaAnd one recipe that has been popular are these copycat Hooter’s Boneless Wings.
AND if you really want to hear about a 360 degree edible contradiction:
Try and think of a dish that is hot and cold, sweet and spicy, crunchy and soft– ALL AT ONCE.
I’ll give you a hint.
It is popular at trendy southern California sushi restaurants. No clue? {You are missing out}
Ok fine here it is.
Crispy rice spicy tuna. Heaven. My all time favorite dish to order. Too bad Miami is way behind with this trend. Man, I miss our Sundays at Sashi with passion.
I am off to cheer myself up with a bite of some cayenne dark chocolate…

I’m all about sweet & salty. But when it comes to dinner menus, the first thing to catch my eye is always salmon or filet mignon. They’re just so delicious!
Sweet and spicy are the best- even in baking. I am adding chili or cayenne pepper to almost everything these days haha.
