Fried Rice with Ginger, Hoisin, and Sesame
A twist on the average fried rice - a culmination of some of my favorite Asian flavors thrown into a common dish. This recipe is very easy to adjust according to personal tastes; you can make it about as strong or as mild as you prefer. Compliments Teriyaki beef well, or can be easily modified into a stir-fry meal.
Chicken Chalupas
These chicken chalupas use leftover chicken, which makes a great filling. Chalupas are small, boat-shaped flatbreads that can be filled very simply, or can be served with all the usual toppings for a taco. Choose your own toppings, or use any or all of the suggestions and enjoy this south-of-the-border treat!
Fudgy Chocolate Cream Pie
