Looking for something spicy

I like spicy too. I have been using Hot Italian turkey sausages, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, and Cayenne pepper. I have yet to venture to chopping fresh jalapenos in my eggs etc. Hot salsa is still available. Not sure what you use to eat to know how to replace. I have had no trouble keeping things spicy.

Recipe: Boneless buffalo strips
Chef Devin Alexander
Ingredients

Boneless buffalo strips
1 1/2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 chicken tenderloins (about 1 pound), trimmed of tendons
Olive oil spray
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce (a thick one like Frank)
2 tablespoons light butter (stick, not tub)



Preparation

Boneless buffalo strips Mix the flour, garlic powder, and salt in a medium shallow bowl until well combined.

Dip one chicken strip at time into the flour mixture and turn it to coat completely. Then shake off any excess flour. Transfer the strip to a plate. Repeat with the remaining strips, placing them side by side on the plate until they are all coated.

Place a large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, lightly mist it with spray and add the chicken strips side by side, not touching, in a single layer (work in batches, if necessary). Cook until lightly browned on the outside and no longer pink inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, place a small nonstick skillet over low heat and add the butter and hot sauce. Heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is just melted, being careful not to scorch it. Immediately remove from the heat, add the chicken strips, and toss to coat completely. Add more hot sauce, if desired. Let stand in the pan for 5 minutes, and then toss again (the sauce will stick better after resting) and serve immediately.

I got this from someone else....stuffed jalepeno peppers

Slice peppers in half and remove seeds
Fill with neufenchal cheese (it's a 1/3 less fat than cream cheese)
Fry some pieces of proscuitto and cut up like bacon bits, sprinkle on the peppers

Bake peppers for 20 minutes at 350

They are a hit at any party I go to...

I realize these aren't low-cal...but, they are better than fried, easy to make and hot

stir fry with some crushed peppers and chilli powder works for me!

Siracha chili sauce! Fabulous for stir fry or anything blah that needs a hot pick me up

Here's a few of mine:

- Siriracha Sauce. (goes right on top of my fried rice)
- Smoked/Chipotle Tobasco (great for stir frying shrimp or steak to make your own Bare burrito bowl. Just add lime, avacodos, tomatoes on top of lettuce.
- Tobasco Sauce
- Cholula (My favorite thing to put on eggs)
- There's a whole aisle of sauces at Trader Joe's.
- Those hot pepper packets at Pizza hut mixed with sesame oil for soups.

Also, you can try different vinegars and low sodium soy sauces with any of those hot sauces. Good luck.

You can also play around with spicy pickled veggies at the Asian grocery stores.
- Kimchi (I don't really have a good taste for these. I like my green veggies cooked).
- Spicy Pickled Radishes
- Spicy Pickled Turnips (surprisingly good)

This discussion thread is making me hungry.

I make my own hot sauce and salsa buy the buckets full, I just make some home make chipotle peppers, I had a few last night YUM!!

Cayenne. Spicy salsa. Chinese hot sauce. Sriracha (Thai hot sauce). Serrano peppers. I can send you some recipes if you'd like.
