Maple Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

If you like the twang of mustard with a hint of sweet, then this maple honey mustard dipping sauce is the sauce for you. Keep that bottle of ketchup in the fridge. Try something new. Although the recipe calls for Dijon, you can use any of your favorite mustards. We’ve found Creole and spicy mustards to be great too!

Maple Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Dip Everything You Can Think Of!

We use this maple honey mustard dipping sauce for dipping chicken fingers and corn dogs and yes, even French fries. For a little more kick, add some hot sauce. But whatever you do, make sure you use real maple syrup. The fake stuff isn’t actually maple syrup, it’s made from corn syrup. Only the real stuff has that true maple flavor.

Creamy Italian Dressing

I needed creamy Italian dressing for a recipe I was making. I searched all over my local grocery store and couldn’t find any. I ran across this simple yet tasty version that goes great on sandwiches or salads. Yep, I said ‘sandwiches’. One of my favorite sandwiches uses a variation of this dressing instead of mayonnaise. For some reason the thought of that had never occurred to me. I wish it had because this really changes any sandwich… for the better.

Creamy Italian Dressing

Give It A Rest

This creamy Italian dressing really needs to sit overnight in the fridge to “get happy”. The spices need to have time to flavor it. Make sure that you give it a really good shake or two before serving.

Instructions

  • Combine the mayo, onion, and vinegar in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with remaining ingredients.
  • Note: Onions obviously vary in size. Start with a little of the onion and taste as you go. You might use more or less than a half of the onion. You may also have to adjust the spices, to taste. It all depends on how strong and big the onion is that you are using.
  • Place in a covered container.
  • Let rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Stir again before serving.

Taco Seasoning

This is my go-to taco seasoning mix. I usually make a really big batch and store it in the pantry. Use 2-3 tablespoons of mix per 1 pound of ground beef (or ground turkey) to make a great taco meat. I prefer to make my own mixes like this one. This allows for changing it up to suit my tastes. And another big thing is that I get to control the amount of salt. So many packaged seasonings are absolutely loaded with salt.

Taco Seasoning

I Use This Seasoning A Lot!

It may seem a bit odd, I know. But one of my favorite uses for taco seasoning is on enchilada chicken wings and taco pasta. But for tacos, I make my great slow cooker taco meat.

Depending on how I’m going to use it, I might place this mix into a spice blender and give it a few whirls. Sometimes I need a little finer texture. My spice blender is actually a coffee blender that I use just for spices!

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. I prefer to then transfer it to a spice grinder and give it a little grind so the resulting mix is a little finer.
  • To use, add 2-3 tablespoons to every 1 pound of ground beef, along with 1/3-1/2 cups of water.

Notes

The mix will keep for up to a year in an airtight container in a pantry or closet. I write ‘2-3 T per lb’ on a small piece of tape and put it on the side of the container so I remember how much to use.

Kaw-Cajun Comeback Sauce

I put Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce on just about anything. Po boys. Regular sandwiches (making them not just regular!). Wraps. Anything. Everything. I make a big squeeze bottle of this sauce and keep it on hand because it’s sooooo darned good and goes on darned near everything. I know I already said that but it’s true. It really does deserve to be used on everything.

Kaw-Cajun Comeback Sauce

One Winning Sauce

This recipe for Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce comes from Chez John from Fat Johnny’s Front Porch. Do not omit the grated onion and garlic – they really make this sauce a keeper. If you cannot find Cajun Power Sauces where you are you can order them online. Although you can substitute other sauces, this sauce is best made with Cajun Power. It’s also fantastic on chicken wings.
