How could one month have had so many great recipes? The month of June was pretty epic, if I do say so myself. I’m not even sure where to begin when it comes to picking a favorite recipe. It’s kind of like picking a favorite child, or at the very least, admitting that you have one child you kind of favor more than the others. Last month, there was Pimento Cheese & Dill Pickle Potato Salad, Golden Oreo Peach Cobbler Ice Cream, Jalapeño & Cotija Cheese Potato Stack Pie, and Lamb & Root Vegetable English Stew.
In addition to the recipes above, there was also one heck of an amazing Summer Caprese Shrimp Salad Roll, which I am still drooling over and planning to make again and again all summer long. I’m especially looking forward to making it on our our upcoming beach vacation for breakfast. After all, beach trips are all about eating as much seafood as possible. Of course, we’re going to need something to go along with those shrimp salad rolls, so why not pair them with these Sweet & Spicy Candied Jalapeño Deviled Eggs, which are topped with homemade Candied Sliced Jalapeños. Pretty much sounds like the best beach breakfast in the world if you ask me.
So, while all of the above-mentioned recipes won my heart and my tastebuds over last month, I just can’t help but think that there was one recipe that stood out in my head above all of the others. So y’all, here it is, I’m going to do the thing that experts say you should never do. I’m going to admit that I have a favorite and that without a doubt it’s Jalapeño Cornbread Filled with Blueberry Quick Jam. I’m not really sure if it makes for a better dessert or a side because it’s pretty much both all rolled up into one lovely blueberry drenched spicy bite of heaven. If I were you, I’d make it for yourself and see what I’m talking about.
