peanut-lime noodles with roasted broccoli

categories: Entrées

As the saying goes… if you don’t succeed, try, try again. Well, we did exactly that while searching for the best peanut-lime noodle dish. We tried so many recipes from different cookbooks and blogs online, but none met our expectations until finally discovering and perfecting this amazing South-Asain masterpiece. The sauce is so easy to prepare: it combines creamy peanut butter with brown sugar, fresh ginger, a clove of garlic, scallions, a generous splash of lime juice, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. This smooth and delicious sauce is then tossed with linguine and tender oven-roasted broccoli, making a simple, healthy, and flavorful dinner that you can make in about 30 minutes.

sangria

categories: Drinks

We make this traditional sangria recipe any chance we get during the summer, and every time it is a huge hit. This cool and refreshing Spanish drink made an appearance at every outdoor party and family event when Ryan was growing up, as it is one of his dad’s signature specialties. The deep burgundy wine blends with freshly-squeezed oranges and lemons, a splash of sparkling club soda, slices of colorful fruit, and just a hint of sugar to make an irresistibly delicious beverage that is so satisfying on a hot summer day.

ginger key lime chiffon cake

categories: Desserts

When I was five years old, I was so excited to take my first cooking class at the local community center. We made so many fun recipes, but my favorite part was when we learned how to make a cake. I remember feeling then—and I still feel now—a sense of amazement that you can take all these powders and liquids, mix them up, add some heat, and end up with a sweet and delicious cake. The first time I made this ginger key lime chiffon cake was for my birthday a few years ago, and from the first bite I was hooked (yes, I love to bake my own birthday cakes!). There are three layers of pillow-soft gingery chiffon, a rich and surprisingly tart key lime curd filling, and the entire cake is generously frosted with a silky smooth key lime buttercream. –Ryan
