Mole flavors in Mexican cuisine slide under the radar when it comes to home cooking in the average household. But a chocolate girl at heart, I know where it is at and this spin on mole BBQ doesn't disappoint. Slow-roasted pork with Calicutts Cocoa & Ancho Spice Blend and the hit of the BBQ sauce will transport you to the volcanic regions of Mexico.

My produce shopping is always filled with tomatoes and basil. You simply can’t go wrong. This simple Panzanella salad is a great spin on a Caprese salad with the perfect seasoning – a blend of peppercorns and roasted bell peppers found in Calicutts Everyday Spice Blend – to really make the natural sweetness of the produce pop.

Hosting for game day can quickly turn into overwhelm when different people like different things. Game Day wings are an easy solution. Cook them all together and then divide into four glazes that are comprised of similar ingredients and accompanying dips! Some will bring the heat, like Calicutts’ Cajun Blackened and Thai Si Racha. Others will be a little sweet like Caribbean and Sweet Ginger Teriyaki. Either way, everyone is happy.

North African Harissa is the perfect accompaniment to a standard hummus. Use the recipe below or simply mix it into plain store-bought hummus to mix things up for company or everyday snacking. I love this with fresh veggies or topped with fresh feta and sautéed zucchini.
