Recipes For Hot And Spicy Food Day

Sharing is caring!

Happy National Hot And Spicy Food Day! There is pretty much a National Food Day for every food: some are very silly, and some, like hot and spicy foods, should definitely be celebrated.

I guess you could say I’m a wimp because my spicy food tolerance is very, very low. My husband, on the other hand, believes the spicier the better! No matter what I make for dinner, even if it’s not intended to be spicy, he’ll throw chili powder or other hot sauces on it because he loves the heat. So we’ve rounded up some delicious hot and spicy food recipes in honor of this National Food Holiday. Get a glass of water ready! 😉

Spicy Hummus. I love hummus! I’m a vegetarian and this is a healthy, meat free snacking option. This spicy hummus recipe from Foods By God would be amazing served up with pita chips, or even healthy veggies like carrot sticks.

This recipe from Delicious Knowledge is just that.

Spicy Jambalaya. If we’re talking spicy, I can’t leave out this spicy New Orleans dish! This jambalaya recipe from Friday Delights is a traditional Louisiana dish with sausage, but it’s always a good idea to throw some shrimp in the pot too!
