Bacon, beer and cheese turned into decadent soup.

We have had so many fruit jams, have you even tasted tomato jam with some spiciness, ginger and garlic. And it is so versatile, it goes well with cracker, bread or some pita bits.

My version of Bobby Flay's very distinctive southwestern, egg-less potato salad from his restaurant, Mesa Grill. Make sure you pour the sauce over the potatoes while they're still warm to ensure the flavors soak in. This salad goes nicely with grilled meat, poultry or seafood.
