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

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!

( for his lunch )

I winged it on this dish. My parents used to make something like this all the time when I was a kid. Whole chicken is cheaper than the boneless, skinless stuff I usually buy.

I steamed this for about 30 minutes, then I stood it up on a root beer bottle in a glass baking dish and put it in the oven for about another 30 minutes. Every few minutes I would brush on a mixture of lemon juice, soy sauce and a little Worchestershire sauce.

While my bf cooked the potatoes, I nuked some corn with a bit of butter.

Because the recipe is tasty and the weather is hot: cantaloupe and littleyuzu's lemon spaghetti. Rather, a variation thereof.

Soba and shumai

Same lemon recipe from littleyuzu. It tastes different from when I made it last time because I used less lemon and more pepper.

Was in a bad mood when I made this for a variety of reasons. One being that my brother still hasn't cleaned the mess from his party last night, so my kitchen is a wreck. Grrr.

I got the recipe from littleyuzu. The original recipe is for spaghetti but for some reason I don't like spaghetti noodles. Anyway, it is really simple, but delicious. I didn't feel like meat today, so I just went with the pasta.
