This recipe has become one of my “staple” cocktail party recipes since I first made it in 1984. It’s easy, spicy, and guests gobble them up. I usually make a double recipe and have added ingredients such as banana pepper rings to kick it up another notch. The original recipe appeared in the Cotton Country [...]

My buddy Delanie recently invited me to come to Ventano for lunch. This establishment in Henderson is known far and wide in the valley for it’s wonderful food, service, and ambiance.
