Congratulations Sandi on the Spotlight of your fabulous recipe! I usually like to keep it Mild so that everyone in the house will eat it. ;o) But I have the hotter stuff on the side for my Hubby who likes his lips to be on fire! -
Congradulations Sandi those look so good. I love spicey food although as I get older I have had to scale back my ON Fire to Medium -
How fun to see Sandi on the front page, she is one TALENTED lady. I'm somewhere between medium and hot and I love sweet and spicy together. I have to agree with Paula Deen. I like spicy, but don't hurt me, lol -
Yea Sandi! Congrats on the spotlight recipe. Enchiladas look incredible, wish I was having them for dinner! As for the hot of peppers it depends on who you ask in my family. My husband's family loves cayenne pepper but their favorite is the chili pequin, or bird-eye pepper as they call them. These little peppers are the size of an english pea but they are hot, hot, hot. Picked some without gloves once to make pepper sauce and my hands were burning like fire. As for me I love jalapeno's. As I've said more than once, love sweet jalapeno relish on a brick of cream cheese. Spiciest thing I've eaten was a jalapeno at a mexican restaurant that I thought was a mild poblano pepper. It was cooked and used as a garnish. I love poblano pepper so I took a big bite. I ran immediately to the complimentary ice cream machine in the restaurant and filled myself a cone. Wow! -
Congratulations on the spotlight, Sandi! I love, love, love hot and spicy food. I'll even confess to finding it amusing to eat things that make my eyes water and cause me to drink a gallon of water. Maybe it's some sort of spicy food fetish??? I can't help it. I'm sure Philly will cool it down a notch or two! ;) -
Frosty, keep checking back on the site for our winner announcement! Alright ladies, it seems like things are heating up around here—do you guys have any good recipes that include chili peppers? The spicier, the better, right? -

Oh Sandi dear - my congratulations on getting the spotlight on your dish and yourself today! Love your recipe.
I love the heat and I eat it with my seafood red sauce and in my south of the border dishes. I love the heat of Asian Sriracha Sauce and of course wasabi. If it gets too hot I cool things down with a little yogurt, milk or cream cheese, or I nibble on crackers! The hottest thing I have ever eaten was a Scotch bonnet pepper cooked seeds and all into a Jamaican dish. It was so hot I broke out perspiring and instant got the hiccups. They had to bring me a milk based smoothie to cool it off my taste buds. I pushed my plate away! -
I like a lil spice to my food im from texas and we like a lil heat. But when I ate my sisters spicy shrimp al la diavlo it just about blow my head off. It was so hot you just couldnt eat it. I shoulf hsve know it would be to spicy to eat ehen the howl house filled up with smock anf our eyes and throughts burnd -
Thank you RWOP/Eqal for featuring my entry... it really was delish and I hope some of the community tries it.
When I had my nursery going, we raised 50 varieties of peppers, the majority being hot peppers of every kind. I would say my tolerance level goes up to Habanero, but not much beyond that, and there are many varieties much hotter than Hab's! We had one variety that produced a very small purple pointed pepper (can't remember the name now) that actually made a man cry it was so hot!
To me, too much heat only burns the taste buds and you can't even taste the flavors of the dish! I think peppers should enhance the dish - not cancel it out, but the hotties are great for making home made bug killers and repellents, lol!!! -
It all depends on how bad the allergens are lol! I prefer medium hot but been known to crank it up a notch or two when my allergies are bad. I am a cayenne lover. Hottest I remember eating was a prank at a party when a "friend" (I type that lightly) had dipped raw broccoli into chinese hot mustard and gave it to me. I thought it was cheese of course. I could have used a fire department for a couple hours. ... Sandi, I believe I will be make those soon ! With the exception of the poblano pepper. Never can find them fresh around here. Would love to stuff, roast and use them in everything, really. Peppers and pepper spices are so healthy. -

The worst heat to hit my mouth was when I was told that a pepper sauce was duck sauce at an oriental restaurant. I had a row of ulcers on my inside lip from a healthy dose of peppers - yikes! -
I'm a real wuss but getting a little more adventurous about heat. I'm on the mild side of medium while my husband is on the suicide side of hot. I want a little heat but I still want to taste the food - no sweating, baby!

Congratulations Sandi! I have to say mine is mild, my kids hot!
My son had ordered the "house buffalo wings" at a nearby restaurant, little did we know that we needed a fire extinguisher, but still he kept eating them not wanting to really admit how hot they were!! -
