Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork
The Pioneer Woman makes this Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork, which looked really good. It reminded me of Coca Cola basted ham (I guess that's for another blog). I made it in a crockpot. Also, I put in about half of the chipotle chiles and it was very spicy, which I love. You can serve it with tortillas or rolls.

Cold Noodles with Chicken & Sesame Sauce
If you can't stand the heat..... I am not a sunny climate, hot weather type of person. I know this must be a shock to most of you, but it’s true. I hate the heat. Unfortunately, I live in Los Angeles. I try to think of things that I can make in the morning and pull out of the fridge for dinner. One of my go to meals on a bloody hot day is – cold noodles with sesame sauce. It’s a great dinner and it’s delicious. I always eat it with chop sticks and a very cold glass of wine!

Grapefruit Margarita
A friend sent me a case of grapefruit, I thought I would try making a Grapefruit Margarita, which is not such a stretch when you consider that the Salty Dog cocktail, which is a Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice) in a salt-rimmed glass, marries the salt and grapefruit flavors and has been popular for years. For my margarita, I used freshly-squeezed ruby grapefruit juice, silver tequila, blue agave sweetener and I added a kick of chili into the mix.
