Crab and Swiss Quiche
My aunt gave me this crab and Swiss cheese quiche recipe because she knew I loved imitation crab. It's amazing how simple and quick it is to make, and it's very good!
Firecracker Fried Chicken Drumsticks
I tried this deep-fried chicken leg recipe a while ago, and my husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. Sometimes I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in place of the drumsticks as they take less time to cook.
Vegetarian Kimchi
This vegetarian kimchi is a great traditional Korean dish. The sweetness in this recipe is from natural sources like persimmon and cucumber, unlike other kimchi versions that use sugar. It has a great flavor and just enough spice.
