Perfect for lunch or potlucks, this crowd-pleasing cold tuna pasta salad is the perfect balance of creamy dressing, tender pasta, and fresh crunchy veggies. From the flavorful dressing to the mix of tender pasta and crunchy veggies, there’s bound to be someone who loves everything about what makes a tuna and pasta salad so delicious. I personally prefer to use shell pasta with this recipe, and any size is fine – small, medium or large. Toss in the cooked pasta, tuna, peas, celery, and red onion, then use a spatula to gently mix it all together.

These crispy teriyaki chicken wings are baked to perfection and coated in a simple homemade teriyaki sauce. Chicken wings are one of those “fit any occasion” type of food, and these baked teriyaki chicken wings are no exception. When ready to eat, let the chicken wings thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then bake the chicken wings for 25-30 minutes at 325 degrees F or until heated through. In another large bowl, toss the baked chicken wings with the prepared teriyaki sauce until they’re nice and coated.

If you’ve ever been to a Japanese hibachi or teppan restaurant (where they cook the food in front of you, whether it’s over a flame or a solid griddle) you’ve probably seen that they serve a few dipping sauces to go along with the cooked meats or veggies. You might know it by another name, such a white sauce, pink sauce, seafood sauce, or even just vegetable sauce, but I personally prefer to call it yum yum sauce. I think the better question is what isn’t yum yum sauce good on, but if you’re looking for a solid list of ideas, I highly recommend any of the following: • Grilled, baked, or steamed veggies, especially broccoli, corn, carrots, and cauliflower. When stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container, yum yum sauce should remain good for up to a week.

This fresh Mexican salsa verde is a flavorful combination of tomatillos, cilantro, onion, garlic, and peppers. There are two types of salsa verde – Italian and Mexican – but this particular recipe pays homage to the Mexican version. This recipe is written to reflect that, so there are only enough jalapenos included in the recipe to give a little taste but not the bite. Normally I don’t recommend freezing vegetables with high water content, but because these veggies have been cooked and blended, there’s no harm in losing texture or consistency from freezing.
