Pad Kee Mao
Pad kee mao translates to "drunken stir-fry" in English. These Thai drunken noodles are one variation of many such dishes that are commonly hawked by street-side vendors in Bangkok. The drunken description comes from the fact that it originated in late-night revelers' kitchens after stumbling home from the nightclubs in the wee hours of the morning.
Greek Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers (Yemista)
This yemista recipe is my favorite! The best time to make it is in August when the garden tomatoes are ready for harvest. Hothouse tomatoes are just not the same. My mom made this every year, and when she did, I thought I died and went to heaven.
Slow Cooker Philly Steak Sandwich Meat
This crockpot Philly cheese steak recipe uses beef sirloin, but it can be made using lower-grade roasts. The meat is always tender, and makes its own au jus if you like to dip as I do. To serve as sandwiches, put meat on a sub bun and top with sautéed onion and green pepper. Top with Swiss or provolone cheese and broil until the cheese just starts to melt.
