Chinese new year/5 recipes

A Chinese inspired stir-fry dish is wrapped into lettuce leaves to serve, and enjoy all the yummy goodness in one wrap!

Ginger Shrimp with Snow Peas and Water Chestnuts recipe

Buttermilk dressing gives the cole slaw creaminess in taste by keeps it light without adding much in the way of fat. Fresh chives and parsley keeps the taste bright. A tasty side dish with BBQ!

This recipe would have been 5 stars without the sliced sun-dried tomatoes. The tomatoes dominated the flavor of the sauce so much that it didn't allow the mushrooms to shine through. My wife liked it, but I noticed she was picking out the tomatoes too.

Juicy, sweet and tender roasted tomatoes, creamy goat cheese, and slightly bitter mixed greens make this mouth-watering pasta dish delicious and nutritious.

This is a wonderful recipe for either a dinner party or Sunday lunch. Whether or not you use redcurrants in the actual sauce or purely as a decoration depends very much on the time of year and variety of redcurrants you can find. End of summer home-grown redcurrants add a wonderful sweet tartness to the sauce, however imported under-ripe fruits can impart a certain bitterness and are probably best left for garnish. If you do not use fresh berries add a little extra redcurrant jelly.

Hummus, perfect for dipping all kinds of veggies or for pita bread or a replacement from mayo.

I have been making Thanksgiving dinner for 14 years and have made turkey several different ways. This turkey recipe is now one of my top two favorites! It was perfect for a non-Thanksgiving turkey craving. I saved the drippings to make gravy for open-faced turkey sandwiches with mashed potatoes the next night. Delish!!! Thanks for making turkey fun during the "off-season"!
