So! I decided that the flavor base for my hot sauce would make an excellent addition to chili!
I sorta stole Wildfire's chili recipe and made it my own.
I used:
1 pound of ground turkey
1 white onion
1 jar jalapenos
1 small jar of garlic
1 can of lentil soup
1 can of "vegetarian chili beans mixture"
2 large cans of tomato puree
1 bag of shredded triple cheddar cheese
1/2 bottle of habanero bbq sauce
2 oz. of my custom hot sauce
Paprika, black pepper, red chili powder, cayenne pepper powder, salt, some rosemary, and a dash of stevia.
Cooked the turkey, blended the garlic, jalapenos, and onion in a food processor, dumped the tomato puree into a pot, drained the turkey, and basically just sort of threw everything in and stirred. I waited for it to start boiling gently, then turned the heat way down and let it simmer for about 3 hours. It turned out pretty spectacularly! If I had make a change, I'd use half a jar of jalapenos instead of a whole one, half of an onion, and add some more of my own hot sauce.
This made enough to feed me for 2-3 weeks for lunch, so, chili, ahoy!

My Journey into Madness: Iso's Tale of Making Hot Sauce
I've been making my own cologne for a while, now, and I'm about to start making my own cleaning supplies - so I figured, "Why not make my own hot sauce?"
I'm currently in the process of making this as I type, but let me tell you, if you follow my recipe, please wear eye protection and ventilate your kitchen well.
So, I took half a white onion, 20 chili peppers, 6 ghost peppers, half a jar of sweet jalapenos, and a small container of garlic, minced them all together, and dropped them into some garlic olive oil. Sauteed for a few minutes, then added 10 ounces of mango nectar and 30 ounces of water. I allowed this mixture to cook until most of the liquid was gone.
Then, I poured it all into my food processor, and added 24 oz. of mango rice vinegar, blending until the mixture was smooth. I added salt to taste.
Then, I strained the mixture, and put it into various jars for use/giving to friends.
At least, that's how it's going to be. I'm currently in the "let the water cook out" process. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
Edit: Might add some seasoning to make it a little more interesting.
Edit edit: Went with a small amount of rosemary.
Edit edit edit: AN EXPLOSION OF FIRE AND FLAVOR. SUCCESS! A little vinegary, but that's fine. It yielded about 48 oz.! It's around the thickness and consistency of sriracha, but much hotter and far tastier.

I had to drive an hour and a half north to find a shop that did. Fortunately, a Fresh Market is opening down the street from me, so I think they'll become a lot more accessible to me, soon.

Undervalued: rosemary when cooking potatoes. Breakfast yesterday had fried potatoes, so I swooped in with dried rosemary, dried garlic, and cayenne pepper. The others were amazed because they never cook with spices.
Agreed! That sounds quite good.
Quote from Talore »
Also Teia thinks I'm weird because I coat my spaghetti with nutritional yeast instead of parmesan cheese. Haters gonna hate, I love the flavour.
I use a 5-cheese blend IN my spaghetti sauce.
I'm hesitant to post my spaghetti recipe in here because it's one of my most closely-guarded cooking secrets, but if you guys are interested enough in it, I can share.
I've noticed that you guys like serranos in here. I don't think I've ever consciously had one; what's the relative spice/flavor content as compared to say, a bell pepper or jalapeno?
Also! I've found that a really simple and healthy salad dressing substitute is simply to squeeze half a lime over it. If your salad game is strong, then you won't need any other flavor for it. I have a friend who recently made me her own ginger dressing from scratch, and while it looked nothing like what you'd get from a bottle or a restaurant, it tasted nearly identical!
A bell pepper is 0 scoville units.
A jalapeno will fall between 1,000-10,000
Serranos fall in the 10,000-23,000 range
Which means that the mildest Serranos are as spicy as the hottest Jalapenos and an order of magnitude spicier than the mildest ones, with the spiciest Serranos being about twice that.
In practice though, an order of magnitude is not a *huge* jump. I definitely wouldn't say that a 10K is 10x as spicy as a 1k on the scoville scale, probably more like 2x. So by that reasoning, a Serrano would be about twice the heat of a Jalapeno, assuming you're getting the milder strains of each (which seems like the average case). In turn, a Habenero (rating 100k+) is about twice as hot as a Serrano.
Thanks! I do like habaneros, but I ultimately prefer ghosts. I have a spice blend I make out of minced garlic, ghost peppers, black pepper, and oregano, which is...surprisingly good. I'm sure a little rosemary wouldn't hurt, either.

I've done "make your own uber-ramen" a few times recently. I got some big gasket-sealed mason jars. Throw in some cabbage, beef jerky, parboiled noodles, gochujang, pureed ginger, smashed garlic, and miso paste, then have stuff like chopped green onion, a fried egg, or sauteed mushrooms in a little ziplock bag. Easy-portable lunch, just pull out the bag, fill with boiling water from the nearest coffee maker, let steep a few minutes, then stir in the ziplock contents.
Bleh, miso and mushrooms. The rest sounds fine, I think. One summer, my friends and I trekked out to Colorado to hang out with our mountain-dwelling friend, and one of my friends and I buckled down and made homemade eggrolls, sushi, ramen, and pork buns. It was a wonderful experience and we all loved everything. (My eggrolls were voted "best", however. )

I took a pound of ground turkey and a pound of ground chicken, cooked them, threw in some garlic, paprika, ground mustard, black pepper, and ghost peppers, and steamed 5 oz. of kale (no stems) and 5 oz. of spinach, and put that in the combination. ******* excellent. I ate it for 3 days straight.

Iso, I'm not sure where I would start, since you have a few very nonspecific ingredients in that list. I suppose I'll consider blending bitter greens in next time I make an avocado-based spread.
Also I just sliced my tongue on a knife. That is all.
I mean...like I said, I just threw it all in and blended it.

I found some ghost peppers! It was the last container.
I also made another batch of superguac. This one was:
Spicy guacamole
Garden salsa
Spinach
Kale
Garlic
Red chard
Green chard
Arugula
Black beans
Much better than the last batch. I threw it all in a blender until it looked like plain ol' guac. Everyone who's had some has sung its praises - to the point of where they decided to eat it straight out of the container. Give it a shot?

I'm vegan and gluten-free for a week starting next week.
Because of this, I made a gigantic pot of what I have dubbed "Rainbow Rice", and a smaller container of "superguac".
For the rainbow rice, I cooked some lentils, lima beans, corn, carrots, peas, green beans, black beans, pinto beans, red beans, tomatoes, habaneros, and garlic in some vegetable stock. Then I boiled some brown rice with quinoa, drained the vegetable stock and water, and threw them in together, pretty much. I seasoned it with a lot of good stuff when it was in the vegetable stock, tried it mid-way, thought, "This...needs something sweet. But not sugar. So, what?" And I realized that corn would be perfect for it. Unfortunately, I only had like...half an ear of corn to use for it. But it still came out well.
For the superguac, I took spicy guacamole, chipotle garlic salsa, chipotle pepper sauce, garlic, spinach, and kale and threw it all in the blender until it was about the consistency of, well, runny guacamole. Tastes fantastic - I'm gonna eat it with some brown rice crackers I found at Wal-Mart. I might also freeze some bananas and puree those with some pistachios for an "ice cream" effect.
Fortunately, we just got sweet potato fries at work, so I'll have those to munch on, as well. I don't think we have any vegan/gluten-free salad dressing at work, though, so I'll have to limit my veggies to thinks like cauliflower and broccoli and the stuff that's in the Rainbow Rice.
Which will probably be fine, as I made enough for...pretty much every meal for the whole week, haha.
The best part about this is that my favorite food will still be accessible to me: Apples.
I think I'm gonna try to get a steak this weekend just as a "farewell, meat" sort of thing, even though it's only for a week. Plus I haven't had a good steak in probably 4 or 5 months. My friend had a cookout in his backyard one night after I got off of work and I brought a *****load of meat - ribeyes, filets, chicken, pork chops, hot dogs - and he put me in charge of cooking, even though I'd never used a charcoal grill before. (It was also raining on and off.) Everything except the ribeye turned out perfectly (I unfortunately burned those because it was pitch-black out so I couldn't tell if they were done or not), so I was pleased with my first charcoal cooking experience. Everything was delicious. But yeah, I think that's the last time I had a steak - that filet.

Hummus and guacamole have grown on me recently. Hooray for forcing myself to eat well!
Talore, I'm thinking of making ghost & poblano salsa. Any recommended recipes? I'll probably be putting it on turkey wraps with spinach, and using it to dip roasted garlic Triscuits in.
Might make some chicken with it, too, if it turns out well enough.

I'm not sure if I've recommended this to you before, but I have a pretty good (and simple!) potato chip recipe. I just slice the potatoes really thinly after peeling them - usually a potato cutter will do just fine - and fry them in a small amount of (oil of your choice here - I like to use peanut oil or olive oil) with a bit of Lawry's seasoned salt on both sides. Pat them down with a paper towel afterwards, wait for them to dry a bit so they're crunchy, and voila.

Also! I've found that a really simple and healthy salad dressing substitute is simply to squeeze half a lime over it. If your salad game is strong, then you won't need any other flavor for it. I have a friend who recently made me her own ginger dressing from scratch, and while it looked nothing like what you'd get from a bottle or a restaurant, it tasted nearly identical!

12 oz. coconut almond milk

1 scoop of whey protein
Delicious and nutritious. And, of course, whey protein can be swapped out for soy, rice, or other protein powders if you're vegan.

Talore, I'm thinking of making ghost & poblano salsa. Any recommended recipes? I'll probably be putting it on turkey wraps with spinach, and using it to dip roasted garlic Triscuits in.
Might make some chicken with it, too, if it turns out well enough.

I'm not sure if I've recommended this to you before, but I have a pretty good (and simple!) potato chip recipe. I just slice the potatoes really thinly after peeling them - usually a potato cutter will do just fine - and fry them in a small amount of (oil of your choice here - I like to use peanut oil or olive oil) with a bit of Lawry's seasoned salt on both sides. Pat them down with a paper towel afterwards, wait for them to dry a bit so they're crunchy, and voila.
