Cook’s Note

I have used short-grain rice when I can't get glutinous white rice. It will thicken up as it cools.

This chocolate smoothie is naturally sweetened with bananas, so you don't have to add sugar to sweeten the cocoa. This healthy beverage is my go-to for a midday energy boost; the kids love it too!

These pepperoni rolls are just like the amazingly unique pepperoni rolls found in almost all convenience stores in West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania. A slightly sweet fluffy dough with spicy pepperoni makes for a delicious treat!

This has lots of different flavors going on, and is a very special soup to serve your guests. The spicy hot comes from the white pepper, and the sour comes from the vinegar.

Garlic Shrimp Aguachile

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.
