This is one of the best Asian Shrimp dishes I have made in a while. Szechuan shrimp may indeed even be better than my Szechuan chicken recipe! A few Chinese shrimp recipes I have tried have been rather disappointing but this was really a hit. Best of all, it calls for precooked shrimp so there …
Another great appetizer to go with your hamburgers or sandwiches is onion rings. Onion rings are sliced onions coated with a batter and fried. They can be found at nearly any restaurant or frozen in grocery stores. Of course, these are way better than any frozen ones you will find. Some recipes use beer batter …
A delicious side dish for summer is potato salad. I have tried a few different potato salad recipes and found this one to be really good. I feel it is important to use red potatoes because they seem to have a better texture. It is also important not to overcook the potatoes because you don’t …
French fries are popular in many countries and go by a bunch of different names. These are cut more like what you would consider potato wedges. I have tried a few different French fry recipes and have been fairly disappointed with each. Even though I wouldn’t consider this recipe the perfect French fry recipe… it’s …
The Greek burger is a fantastic choice if you enjoy outdoor grilling during the summer. Even if you don’t have an outdoor grill, an indoor grill pan will work as well. Traditionally this recipe would have called for ground lamb, but I didn’t have any luck finding it so I went with ground beef instead. …

Bruschetta has been around nearly forever. For those you not familiar with bruschetta, it is a popular Italian appetizer consisting of grilled bread slices topped with an assortment of different things. There any many different types of bruschetta (and I plan on making others) but this one is chicken. The French bread slices are first …
One of the greatest breakfast items is a gigantic stack of blueberry pancakes! These pancakes are very fluffy and delicious, and even better, they are also buttermilk pancakes. I tried a few recipes that used sour cream and was not very impressed, the buttermilk is so much better. One of these days I will have …
Sorry, I know you guys are probably getting tired of all the stuffed shell recipes but I couldn’t resist… the last one for a while, I promise. Though, as you can see this recipe is much different than your normal stuffed pasta shells. Instead of the traditional spaghetti sauce and cheese, salad ingredients go into …
One of the recipes that I made for Cinco de Mayo is pico de gallo. For those of you not familiar with this condiment, pico de gallo is a salsa from Mexican cuisine consisting of chopped tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, onions, and cilantro. The chopped vegetables are then tossed with lime juice and salt. The lime …
Barbeque burgers are a perfect summer treat. I got the idea for this recipe from this month’s issue of the Food Network magazine. The original recipe called for ground turkey but I had a little trouble finding exactly what I needed, so I went with ground beef instead. I ended up cooking them in the …
A very popular food from Tex-Mex cuisine is the fajita. My personal favorite is chicken fajitas of course. Traditionally the fajita is made with skirt steak and if you don’t want to use chicken, the steak will work great as well. In this recipe, the chicken is first marinated in a blend of seasonings and …
