Every now and then I like to splurge a bit on fish. This is a delicious summer recipe that is great for company because they will think you are some kind of kitchen magician, but in reality it is super simple and really, really fast (I am talking like 15 minutes here). My mom recently visited and … Continue reading
Thai Pork Lettuce Wraps with “Peanut Sauce” and Orange Not Soy Asparagus
Today’s recipe is one of my favorites. Warning, the “peanut” sauce is a bit like crack! One of the key ingredients in the “peanut” sauce is coconut animos, a non-soy version of soy sauce.
