Today is National Hot Sauce Day!  Yes, it is! If you are like me, you use a LOT of hot sauce! I put it on eggs, soups, spaghetti, pizza, so many things…spice up your life with a little hot sauce!

You can even make your own! Sauces can vary from the super easy chili pods in a jar covered with hot vinegar and allowed to steep for a few days, to making your own version of your favorite Tabasco or Valentina type red sauce.

There are so many recipes out there that are available.  All you need is some peppers, spices and a little time to experiment. Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated when you make your own, open the windows and get to mixing!

You can make a chunky salsa type sauce that’s always good to mix in your saucy foods for a little kick, or run it through a strainer and make a liquid sauce to sprinkle on your favorite foods!  I love to look at Pinterest, or just google what I am looking for. There are so many awesome ideas out there!
