Bok choy is in the cabbage family, and is very popular in China. In this recipe, it is shredded to resemble a coleslaw, but that is where the resemblance to that creamy classic ends. This dish is very spicy and full of flavor. It not only tastes great, but is strangely fun to eat. If you have chile paste, use 2 teaspoons of that instead of the red pepper flakes.

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.
Killer Pumpkin Pie
My two boys have multiple food allergies, and I wanted to try pumpkin pie. They call this recipe "Killer Pumpkin Pie" because they say it tastes "killer." It's light and spicy and dairy- and soy-free. It's fast and easy, with a pressed crust that mixes in the pan.
Authentic and Easy Shrimp Curry
This is a home-style South Indian shrimp curry recipe from my husband's family. It is simple and quick to make. It contains no coconut so is not sweet, just mostly juicy and as hot as you like it. Serve with basmati rice or an Indian flatbread.
