This was fabulous and very easy! I had never tried Emeril's SW spice mix before. I really love it and will be using it often. For the chipotle mayo, I combined some mayo (I used Vegenaise) with some chipotle salsa. It was a fabulous topping! Made for the Best of 2010 Tag game, recommended by loof. Thank you!

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
