This caramel cod is a twist on Vietnamese caramel chicken. Chicken is lightly floured and pan-fried; honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar create the caramel pan sauce. It's quick to make, too! It's delicious served with roasted broccoli and soba noodles.

How to Make Pico de Gallo
Sometimes when you eat authentic Mexican food, they give you this salsa stuff made with tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. You can add a squeeze of lime juice to pico de gallo, but I prefer this basic recipe. Once you serve this with your Mexican dish such as tacos, you will want it with all your Mexican dishes!
Ash-e-jow (Iranian/Persian Barley Soup)
I've seen a lot of recipes for Ash-e-jow (Iranian/Persian barley soup); however, my mother-in-law adds tomato paste for a bit of a different flavor and she doesn't add any lentils or beans. It's thick, filling, and delicious, and you could make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock.
Classic Texas Caviar
Don't bother with soaking and cooking beans for Classic Texas Caviar - the canned variety works well. But skip the bottled dressing, and take a little extra time to measure your own vinegar, oil and spices.
