Gyoza
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Making gyoza is a fun family cooking project. Gyoza is the Japanese version of Jiaozi, the Chinese potsticker. It is a type of dumpling that is typically filled with ground pork but you can also fill them with ground chicken or turkey. You can make the gyoza wrappers from scratch or buy them at the store.
Cheese-Stuffed Anaheim Chiles

Chile peppers are packed with vitamins and nutrients. Stuffing any of the mild varieties with cheese (and Mexican Rice) makes them appealing to kids of all ages. Stuffed chile peppers also make a great side dish to many meals.
Sliders

Make an assortment of mini hamburgers for a party or a fun family meal. Lay out a smorgasbord of toppings and let everyone build their own slider. Serve the mini burgers with fruit salad, potato salad, french fries or sweet potato fries.
Tortilla de Patatas
Tuesday, April 20, 2010
The tortilla española is similar to a frittata and nothing like the tortillas used in Mexican food. Tortillas de patatas, filled with thinly sliced potatoes, are one of the most popular kinds of tortilla that you will find but you can also add the veggies and meats of your choice.
Baked Chicken Nuggets with Creamy Bacon Dip
Thursday, April 15, 2010
This recipe comes from Food Network, courtesy of Brian Boitano. But we baked the chicken instead of frying it. The nuggets still have the crunch of fried chicken but it tastes lighter.
Camarones con Tocino (Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp)
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
This was one of my husband’s favorite meals when he was a kid. He remembers always ordering it at Mexican restaurants. It’s a new meal for me. But, what’s not to love?! Bacon makes everything better. And it’s a fun presentation for kids.
Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs make me think of Easter brunch but they make a great appetizer at any party or picnic. And they are the perfect dish for using up your Easter eggs.
Gambas al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp)
Monday, March 15, 2010
Spain is known for tapas, originally just an olive or two on a plate to literally “top” a drink. Over time, the olive or piece of cheese has been replaced by more elaborate “little bites” of truly gourmet food. But even the gourmet bites highlight the natural, simple flavors of the fresh ingredients. Each region of Spain has their own specialties, but some tapas, like Gambas al Ajillo, can be found throughout the country.
Soft Pretzels
Thursday, March 11, 2010
These soft pretzels take me back to my college days and eating my way through Europe. I devoured a lot of bretzels in southern Germany and eastern France. Kids will love to help roll the dough into ropes and shape the pretzels! Make them savory with salt or sweet with cinnamon-sugar.
