This tropical vodka-based cocktail packs a flavorful punch, thanks to the star ingredient, matcha powder. Matcha, which is made from ground green tea leaves, tastes slightly grassy and bitter (in the very best way!) but when paired with pineapple and lime juice, it makes for a refreshing fruity drink. I suggest using ceremonial grade matcha for the best color and flavor pay off.

Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
A great sauce for dipping almost any Asian inspired dish in! Should you desire a thicker consistency than what this recipe yields, dissolve another 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cold water. Once dissolved, stir the mixture into the sauce and continue to heat and whisk until sauce thickens.
Simple Whole Roasted Chicken
A whole chicken is seasoned with a sweet and savory dry spice rub made with allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. This combination of unique ingredients makes this chicken dish delicious! It does need to marinate in the fridge for 24 hours, but it roasts beautifully and surprisingly fast once in the oven.
Garlic Shrimp Aguachile
If you like sushi, sashimi, ceviche, or fish crudo, or even if you just like beautiful, delicious, easy things to make, this garlic shrimp aguachile is for you. Aguachile, or "chile water," uses lime juice to "cook" the shrimp, or, if served immediately, to just make the shrimp taste fabulous. And you are going to serve it on tortilla chips, so if you weren't tempted already, now you certainly are.
