Sips and Small Bites
Asian Slaw with Peanut Dressing
On occasion I get what Hubby refers to as “a wild hair” which typically means that I’m on a new cooking kick, trend, or whatever you want to call it. Well, I got one of those last week when I decided that it was time to take...
Spicy Oriental Green Beans
It’s relatively easy for me to decide on the protein element of our dinner menu, but I find myself getting stuck in a rut at times on the side dishes. Except for mushrooms, Hubby’s pretty willing to go with just about anything I put...
