A friend of mine is from Peru, and she makes this amazing potato and egg dish with a creamy white cheese sauce and cayenne – Papas a la Huancaina. Haven’t tried my hand at it yet, but plan to soon!

I just added it to a chocolate recipe I’m making as I type. Did you try that chocolate thing (what was that?) at the after party with the cayenne added? Oh it was yum.

So glad you posted this. I’m so scared of cayenne! I’ll have to give it a try now! Thanks!

Cayenne is a staple in the house. We have two of the Costco giant size shakers…obsessed, indeed.

Cayenne goes into virtually everything we cook. Scrambled eggs, you betcha! Breading for fish, chicken, pork ribs, you betcha! Spaghetti sauce, you betcha! We add a little to fondue, soups, mac & cheese, whatever. If I’m throwing together something and the flavoring seems to need a little something, cayenne is typically what it needs – well, that and a little extra dash of salt.

Oh, and when we do a seafood boil, you should see how much cayenne gets poured into the pot of water. Want to cook up some yummy peal and eat shrimp for an appetizer – grab yourself some crab boil (bag or liquid), toss in a few onions, lemons cut in half, whole garlic bulbs, hot peppers (jalapeno, habanero, serano), salt and a GENEROUS pour of cayenne pepper, boil those little shrimp up and you’ve got yourself a tasty appetizer (or dinner add some potatoes and sausage to the mix and add dinner rolls).

We use cayenne so often, I can’t think of specific recipes just for it. LOL.

My husband is completely obsessed with Cayenne. It doesn’t matter what I make, he douses it with pepper before eating.

If you’re going to Penzey’s, also try Northwoods Fire for tons of flavor with your heat! we love it in EVERYthing, wimpy kids included, but for real wimps they have a plain Northwoods without the cayenne.

Be sure to pick up a catalog and get your free poultry seasoning while you’re there! If you can’t find a coupon, do sign up for their mailing list; there’s always a coupon for something free on the front.
