Life as an Aced

Recently I found this website called 300sandwiches.com about a girl who has bet with her boyfriend that once she makes him 300 sandwiches he will ask her to marry him. I love sandwiches and love the idea behind 300sandwiches.com . . . me and eddie could have had a similar bet but it probably would have been pizzas instead of sandwiches lol Anyways I totally read the whole blog in like 2 days (she on sandwich 199 right now) - while this recipe didn't come from her website it got me in the mood to make eddie a sandwhich for lunch. Spicy Turkey Panini Ingredients: Ciabatta Bread Spicy Sandwich Spread Pepper Jack Cheese Deli sliced Turkey Directions: 1) Slice bread into a large sandwich sized piece then slice down the middle 2) Spread the spicy sandwich spread on both sides of the bread 3) Add Cheese and Meat 4) Cook in a Panini Maker or in a fry in a pan untill bread is brown and crispy and cheese is melted NOTE: When making any kind of grilled sandwich or panini...

Since I have perfected the Beer Jerky Recipe Eddie can not get enough!!! We have tried it with different kinds of meat and added a little extra kick and either way we serve it it gets devoured before I can make more. Last few batches I have made a little spicy by adding in red pepper flakes and we have found that by using thinner meat the more spicy the jerky is. If you haven't tried our beer jerky yet and you have a dehydrator you need to now and just for reference here is the recipe with the added kick (just remove the red pepper flakes for a more mild spice) Spicy Beer Jerky  Ingredients 1-2 pounds stir fry meat 1 tsp liquid smoke 2 tsp salt 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp pepper 1 tsp red pepper flakes 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 beer Directions 1) Place all ingredients in a large Ziploc bag and marinate over night 2) Place in Dehydrator and cook for 3-6 hours at 170 degrees

This weekend me and Eddie made it out to Reno for the Italian Festival and while there found an awesome Hot Sauce Booth. The hot sauce we picked up was made with the Trinidad Scorpion Pepper which according to my brother (Josh) is now the hottest pepper in the world and while it made almost everyone else cry that tried it me and eddie loved it and knew we had to pick up a bottle for ourselves :) The Lady we purchased it from said that she personally uses it by mixing it into other things so we first tried it by mixing it into my homemade salsa and WOW even just a little bit gives a nice punch So. . .since spicy food helps to speed up your metabolism we figured lets use the hot sauce on everything and hence came the Spicy Food Diet We are going to try and eat spicy food every night and see how long we can go Last night we kicked up our Carne Asada Burritos with a splash of the Trinidad Hot Sauce added into the enchilada sauce and tonight we are having Chicken Poppers ...
