This recipe for hard ginger nut biscuits is possibly one of the oldest ones I have in my possession. My English grandma used it many years ago. The cookies are fabulous for dunking. [Recipe originally submitted to Allrecipes.co.uk]

Ramen and Cabbage Salad
This Asian-inspired salad is appreciated by everyone because of its unique blend of textures and flavors.
Gracie's Amazing Vegetarian Burritos
These are quick and easy to make, as well as incredibly tasty and filling. One of my husband's very favorite dishes, he always stuffs himself with one too many! Serve with grape tomatoes, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, sour cream, and fresh guacamole. You can use any wrap instead of the flour tortillas, if desired.
Easter Egg Rolls
These Easter egg rolls are not made from Easter eggs, but I cannot think of a better use for leftover Easter ham. Filled with tender veggies and rice vermicelli, with the sweet-savory flavor of ham, and a perfectly-textured thin, crisp exterior, these egg rolls are absolutely delicious. I've included a recipe for a non-traditional mustard sauce, but you can also use any more traditional sauces like hoisin or sweet and sour sauce.
