Succulent prawns marinated in sambal oelek, fresh ginger and soy sauce then wrapped up in a wonton wrapper and fried until golden

Whether it is crab, jalapeno or pork I usually always have some frozen wontons waiting to be plucked from my freezer and tossed into the fryer on a moments notice.  I say usually because to my utter dismay, when I opened my freezer to grab some for dinner last week, I realized I was out. [...]

Is it just me or is there a lot  that goes into returning from vacation? Its almost like  I need another one. Between unpacking, laundry, grocery shopping, decorating for fall and returning to the gym and work, I have been one busy girl. But alas, I still need to eat. I just need to do [...]

Football season is upon us and in my household that means Game Day Snacks. Game Day Snacks have kind of become our little tradition. It all started last year with these little devils, Jalapeno Cream Cheese Wontons. Since then it has taken on a life of its own and has actually made me, who is [...]

Then before you know it, your home, starving and standing in front of your almost empty refrigerator asking yourself, “what on earth am I going to make?”. When this [...]

This dish is a little sentimental for me. You see, when Ryan and I had our first date a little over a decade ago, we went to a Mongolian BBQ. If you’ve never been, its an all you can eat restaurant concept where you pick and choose your meat and veggies and then they cook [...]

If there were a list of my all-time favorite appetizers, potstickers would be near the top with wontons, eggrolls, chips and salsa and calamari. Like wontons and eggrolls, you can get just about any mixture of flavors inside potstickers. I have had them with shrimp, beef, chicken and veggies only. For this recipe, I wanted [...]

My plan was to share all 4th of July recipes with you this week, but I made these last night and I couldn’t resist sharing them with you today. They were that good. I was inspired to make these by a meal that Ryan ordered when we visited an Asian restaurant recently. These meatballs include [...]
