Spicy Crab Spring Rolls
These spicy crab spring rolls are a cross between a spicy sushi crab roll and a spring roll. They're quick and easy to make, using fresh ingredients. You can use shrimp instead of crab. Serve with ponzu or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Ham and Beans
This ham and beans recipe was created by my mom, and I really enjoyed it as a child. As an adult, my taste changed just a bit, so I modified her recipe to kick it up a bit. It is fabulous even though the ingredients list is quite short! This is a must-make with leftover ham and everyone agrees it's absolutely delicious.
Fresh Summer Fruit Salad
One day, I decided to stir some rhubarb sauce into my fresh summer fruit salad and loved the result. The rhubarb sauce keeps fruits from turning brown, too.
