A perfectly balanced spicy/sweet barbecue rub that also helps to keep the meat moist and tender with some raw apple cider vinegar. It's really the best ever bbq wet rub... It works well on everything. Seriously, everything.

This chicken and black bean soup uses a spicy base of homemade roasted tomato-chile salsa to get the party started.

I know what you're thinking... who needs a recipe for applesauce?!? But roasting the apples rather than cooking them on the stove really gives this applesauce a much more complex flavor.

These pickled onions are a fantastic addition to tacos, sandwiches and salads. They add a lovely bright and fresh crunch.
