All recipes are from from the Food Network. I substituted vegan mayonnaise for regular in the two recipe requiring mayo.

Hot Crab Dip

( Hot Crab Dip ) Notes: - Added cheddar - Used Taco Bell Hot Sauce

I will definitely make the crab dip again. It didn't photograph very well since it's one color, but it was delicious. We ate the whole 8x8 pan!

Spicy Chinese Five-Spice Chicken Wings

( Spicy Chinese Five-Spice Chicken Wings )

Boneless, skinless tenders instead of wings

I actually didn't like the wings that much. They were much better with the dipping sauce below, but I think next time I will make a more traditional spice blend for the chicken.

Cilantro Dipping Sauce

( Cilantro Dipping Sauce )

I discovered I can eat sour cream as long as it's cultured. I read online somewhere that it's cultured sour cream has the same bacteria as yogurt. These bacteria break down the lactose, which is what my system can't digest. Hooray!

This soup is even better in the winter.

( Slow Cooked Korean Style Short Rib Soup )

Alterations:
- Closer to 7.2 lbs before trimming fat
- Slow cooked on high for 8 hours instead of 6 hours
- Used thinner noodles
- Boiled noodles per package directions rather than soaking

( The lighting on his is better )

It was so hot today we just couldn't eat anything hot.
I normally like to use my Nokorimono desu ga bento box for this because it's not microwave safe and this meal doesn't need microwave, but I remembered I never finish the meal because it's too big. So I thought I'd give my soup bento bowl another day in the spotlight (even though it's microwave safe) ^_^
