Ok, so do you ever fall in love with a dish at first sight? I did, and these Thai Beef Rolls called to me from the moment I first saw them until I had them on my plate. Heck, there are a couple still in the fridge and they just won’t be quiet! Shush now, I already ate too many of you!!

Thai Chicken Wings
Now I’m not normally a huge chicken wing fan. I’ll usually have a token one or two, but this is THE recipe that changed my mind. That being said, Thai Chicken Wings are not your typical chicken wings. And I can’t wait to get home to Minnesota and try this out on my son, Kraig. Now there’s someone who can really put down a few (dozen) wings! (Update: I did get a chance and he loooooved them!)

Simple Cherry Tomato Salad
My folks love tomatoes. Any tomatoes. Me, I’m a sucker for a fresh garden tomato and otherwise they leave me cold. So when I come across tomatoes that could use a little help, I jazz them up a bit. Not that these lovelies in the photos needed any help, mind you.

Bell Pepper and Tomato Salad
Not too long ago, I made my fave Yogurt Marinated Shish Kebabs and was thinking about what would be a killer side. I ended up being inspired by a Turkish recipe, Ezme. I just borrowed some of the flavors, riffed on some of them, and came up with this killer Bell Pepper and Tomato Salad.
