If you love Caribbean Cuisine and make Jerk seitan or tofu dishes often; you've surely come across the Scotch Bonnet. It's a cousin to the habanero, with a flavor all its own.
Here are a few different recipes using Scotch Bonnet Peppers:

In Corpus Christi, where Chris and I grew up, fruit cups are popular. I've been eating these all my life. They offer to make it (and I always order) with lots of the salt+lime juice+chili powder.
You can find cherries, coconut and cucumber inside, too. Most fruit salads skip coconut and cucumber. Fruit cups happen to be one of my favorite things. Since I'm sugar-free, I love making my own fruit cups topped with plenty of chile mix. Every time we go back home, we stop by La Paletera for their huge fruit cups. By the time we arrive at my parents beach house, we have sticky red fingers and lips. Good stuff!
Two posts! We stopped by Hannah & Marcelo's to play cards and catch up. Marcelo taught us all how to play Carioca.

Really loved this game. We had lots of salsa, one of which was made with vegetables from Johnson's Backyard Garden. It was addicting and awesome. Totally spicy business. Check out their spread. Later, Hannah served a beautiful peanut butter cake from a Tal Ronnen recipe. I passed on the cake (I'm sugar free), but Chris brought a slice home. Overall, a chill way to spend our Saturday night. You can't beat wine & friends.
You've probably seen these chiles in your grocery store, dried and whole. They're really common in Mexican cooking, but I wanted to share a few different takes on the guajillo pepper. I gathered up some vegan recipes from around the web.
Here are some uses and Info about Guajillo Peppers like rehydrating, pastes and more.
This Guajillo and Tomatillo Salsa from Gourmet sounds really flavorful!
From The Bon Appetit Test Kitchen is Panang Curry Paste.
I'd be into a Smoky Two Chile Salsa that uses both guajillo and chipotle peppers.
This sounds kind of wild, but why not! Looking for a Chile-Coffee BBQ Sauce? Here's one from The Food Network Kitchens.
For a refreshing take on guajillo, check out this Ensalada de Mango, Jicama y Pepino (Mango-Jicama and Cucumber Salad) by Rick Bayless.
I want to cover everything in Bobby Flay's Smoky Guajillo Chile Oil.
