These coconut shrimp are rolled in a coconut beer batter before frying. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce — I use orange marmalade, mustard, and horseradish mixed to taste for a dipping sauce.

If you are intimidated by the idea of making rasgullas at home, please do not be any longer. I was too, until one day I tried it and realized I was worried for no reason all these years. They are quite easy and super quick to make. Give these a try.

I love making these flavorful lamb burgers stuffed with creamy, delicious goat cheese. I use basil and oregano in mine, but feel free to use your favorite herbs and spices as this recipe is very forgiving. Serve on hamburger buns or pita bread with tzatziki sauce or on their own with a Greek salad.

Honey walnut shrimp is a delicious Hong Kong-style dish of crispy battered shrimp topped with a creamy sauce and sugar-coated walnuts.

Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy

Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy

These smothered pork chops with mushroom gravy are a delightful way to serve pork chops in a skillet dish your family will love! Pork chops are browned, and a pan sauce is made in the same skillet. Return the chops to the skillet for a short time as the sauce develops. We like this with mashed potatoes and a crusty bread, to catch every smidge of that tasty sauce! A green salad or vegetable rounds out the meal.
