Pineapple-Habanero Hot sauce
 

So another has past and a new one is upon us full of promise and resolutions. The most popular resolution being, watching what we eat, by cutting back on fats in our diet. Unfortunately, fat does help to add flavor to our foods. So here we are at the crossroads. Do we sacrifice flavor for our diets, or our diets for flavor. It is time to be creative with the use of marinades, herbs, and my favorite hot sauces. Now you are scratching your head and saying, "hot sauce?" And I'm saying hot sauce! Not only does it give you flavor, but also a little extra zing to what ever dish you want to create. Like I stated earlier, hot sauce is my favorite flavor enhancer. Out of all the possible hot sauce combinations, those flavored with tropical fruits (i.e. pineapple, mango, etc), give that perfect balance of sweet and hot.
