And that isn’t all the other day while checking out after Thanksgiving sales at Target I found out Tabasco has a new offering. They just launched the Thai Chili Sauce also known as Sriracha sauce, which goes perfect with so many dishes not only those for the Thai cuisine.

I love to incorporate my own Mexican cuisine flavors to traditional dishes like spaghetti and meatballs. And the holidays is the perfect time to bring something unique and different to the table yet using familiar flavor profiles for everyone to enjoy.
