Goong Tod Kratiem Prik Thai (Prawns Fried with Garlic and White Pepper)
This dish is a classic Thai preparation of protein. It's a very satisfying dish, especially made with shell-on shrimp. We eat shrimp, shells and all, so we don't miss out on any flavor. It's also a kid-friendly dinner dish. Serve with lots of rice.

Korean Barbecue-Style Meatballs
I love anything Korean-BBQ style and I really love meatballs, so I knew I was going to love these — and I did! Make sure you deactivate the enzymes of the fresh ginger by soaking it in 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 5 minutes — otherwise, your meatballs will turn out soggy. Alternatively, you can add the ginger to the sauce.
Old German Honey Cookies
I got this recipe for honey cookies from my grandmother who got it from her grandmother. She had to translate it and then figure out the measurements. The original recipe called for "enough flour to make a dough." Thankfully grandma knew what kind of dough.
Gingerbread Granola Bars
This is a twist on Playgroup Granola Bars from this site. I didn't have the stuff to make those (and we love those), so I did my own thing. They turned out great! We normally wrap them individually and freeze them, a great quick snack or breakfast on-the-go!
