Pizza Masonable

Here is a #Masonable for the kid in everyone. The Pizza Masonable! This jar is just assembly really. Buy your favorite pizza ingredients and pack them to go. Now this jar looks a little empty. It just did not fit in a half pint jar. It was close but just didn't make it. So I used a pint jar. So there is room in that jar for more pizza toppings. Maybe veggies, olives or Canadian bacon anyone? Just load it up. Just between us once you assemble you little pizza you can heat it in the microwave until the cheese melts. YUM! Hot or cold these little pizzas are a great snack or lunch.

Shrimp Cocktail Masonable

Here it comes another #Masonable idea! This might be my favorite so far. The idea for this Masonable came from dear sister. Mom, sis and I were enjoying some boiled crawfish at home. She asked if I had a little disposable cup for cocktail sauce. I said I have those fruit cups? She grabbed three and brought cocktail sauce to each of us. That is when it hit me, wouldn't a shrimp cocktail make an awesome lunch. So guess what I made the very next day. The Shrimp Cocktail Masonable! So easy! Think about this! You could make a ton of these and put them in a bowl of ice for an outdoor party. Such an easy make ahead summer party appetizer. With or without crackers this would make great party food. You could use any number of dipping sauces too. Try Deckhand Sauce or Piri Piri Sauce or Kickin' Po Boy Sauce or even Thai Style Peanut Dipping Sauce. So many possibilities. I think I need more shrimp.

Piri Piri Mushroom Burgers

Ever since I made Piri Piri Mushrooms I have wanted to use them on a Mushroom Cheese Burger. They are deliciously smoky and just a little spicy. So one night last week I made beef burgers with a little Piri Piri Sauce inside and Piri Piri Seasoning on the outside. It was delicious topped with swiss cheese and the mushrooms. Ask dear sister, she really liked it. She also enjoyed the grilled squash with Piri Piri Seasoning. We had a great dinner. It is amazing how much smoke flavor the Piri Piri adds to a traditional mushroom cheese burger. It was not too spicy just a tasty smoky twist on an original. Try it! It will just set your burgers apart from all the others. People will wonder what you know that they don't. It can be our little secret . . . Or, tell them where they can find more Piri Piri flavor. I appreciate all you reading and sharing!

Piri Piri Turkey Burger

I have been experimenting with different Piri Piri Condiments. Recently I made Piri Piri Turkey Burgers. I used my new condiments, Pineapple Pico de Gallo, lemon zest and Piri Piri Seasoning. Do you think I left anything out? I tried to pack as much flavor in there as possible. I used Piri Piri Mayo inside the burger with the zest of one lemon. Then I seasoned the outside with the Piri Piri Seasoning. They were moist and well seasoned. I loved the rusty red color the seasoning gave them. They were also wonderfully smoky. I tried the Piri Piri Mayo and Pineapple Pico first. It was delicious but the winning condiment was the Piri Piri Ketchup. It was AMAZING! By far my favorite condiment I tried on the burgers. It complimented the Pineapple Pico de Gallo and for some reason it highlights the red pepper flavor in the Piri Piri Sauce. Delicious! It has that sweet and spicy thing going for it. I can't wait to try it out on the family. I think making sliders so everyone can try each version might be a good idea. I will be sure to share that experiment with you too.

Piri Piri Condiments

I have been experimenting with different Piri Piri Condiments. Piri Piri Mayo, Piri Piri Ketchup and even Piri Piri Barbecue Sauce. I started the experiment by mixing equal parts Piri Piri Sauce and the other condiments. All are delicious in their own way. Such an easy way to spice things up or replace your standard spread or sauce in all kinds of meals.

The Piri Piri Mayo is creamy and spicy. It was delicious on some fish tacos I made from leftover fried catfish from the church Men's Club Fish Fry. I made a simple cilantro slaw with honey, soy and rice vinegar. The tacos were a very tasty use of leftovers.

The Piri Piri Ketchup is sweet and spicy. It was great with hashbrown potatoes. But it was by far my favorite condiment I tried on my Piri Piri Turkey Burgers. It complimented the Pineapple Pico de Gallo and for some reason it highlights the red pepper flavor in the Piri Piri Sauce. Delicious! Click here for more about the burger recipe.

Piri Piri Ketchup

1 Part Piri Piri Sauce + 1 Part Ketchup

Finally the Piri Piri Barbecue sauce is both smoky and spicy. I loved it with grilled chicken. I can't wait to try it on a beef burger seasoned with Piri Piri Seasoning. Do you think one can over use the words Piri Piri in a post? I think I can! I hope you will try a few of the new condiments. Let me know your favorite uses for each.
