Perfect Pot Stickers

These pot stickers made with homemade dough and filled with ground pork, ginger, garlic, and cabbage are so versatile — you can fill them with anything you want and as full as you want. The dumplings are fried and steamed, then fried again until golden and perfectly crispy on the bottom for a truly unique dumpling.

Loaded Beef Nachos

I’ve made many, many plates of loaded nachos before settling on this version. Many variations are possible, and I have personally made them vegetarian, turkey, and beef. I load them with sour cream, salsa, sliced olives, jalapenos, and chopped green onion, but all these toppings are optional - use what you like.

Chipotle Peach Salsa with Cilantro

I came up with this fresh-tasting, spicy recipe one night as we fired up steaks smothered in a smoky hickory BBQ sauce on our new grill. The combination was a hit and this has definitely become a new favorite. We like our food spicy, so adjust the amount of chipotle and onion to suit your taste.

Orange Chicken

This orange chicken recipe is sticky, sweet, and delicious. It tastes similar to the orange chicken from a popular Chinese restaurant in the mall! It's easier to make than you think for delicious takeout at home.

Ropa Vieja (Cuban Beef)

This Cuban braised beef dish literally translates to 'old clothes,' because apparently some people thought the fall-apart meat and colorful strips of onions and peppers, tangled together, looked like old, tattered clothing. You'll love this dish if you're into big, bold flavors, since there's nothing subtle about the seasoning here. Delicious served with beans, rice, and plantain chips. Garnish with more cilantro.
