This is a vegetable version of the classic Thai Tom Yum soup. You can find lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal (a close relative of ginger) at any Asian supermarket. If you can't find the lime leaves, you can add extra lime juice to taste, but do try to find the lime leaves because they make a big difference. It tastes just like my local Thai restaurant!

Chai Tea Cookies
If you love chai tea, these cookies are for you! The word 'chai' or 'masala chai' is a catch-all for a spiced black tea drunk in great quantities throughout Southwest Asia and parts of Africa. Any bagged spiced black tea would be lovely in this recipe - cut them open and use the mix inside. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.
Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Skewers
These chicken thigh skewers come together so quickly that you'll have dinner on the table in no time at all. Prep the day before, and dinner will be ready in 20 minutes. Serve over rice with some green veggies on the side for a complete meal.
Grilled Chicken Thighs with Mango-Ancho Sauce
Sweet mango and smoky ancho chile are combined to make both a delicious marinade and a sauce for these grilled chicken thighs. This isn't spicy, so the whole family can enjoy it. I like to serve this with cilantro-lime rice.
