Shrimp Dumplings

Oh Shrimp Dumplings, how I adore you!  The perfect medley of mouth watering shrimp, cabbage, green onion, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic all magically wrapped up in a delightful dough steamed to tender perfection with a crispy edge.  Dipped in a salty-sweet soy sauce, it’s a little bite of heaven.

It’s funny sometimes how a recipe can come about.  I really had a hankering for crab cakes.  Well, crab is definitely rather limited in the Midwest unless you want to buy it in a can and who wants to do that?  So the question became how to get that perfect bite of seafood cake that is crisp on the outside and bursting with fresh seafood flavor on the inside.  …

One of the things I love about this Crunchy Apple and Bacon Salad with Candied Pecans is that it can be made year round.  Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love finding my dinner inspiration from a trip to the farmer’s market.  But what do you do in the dead of winter when you are craving a huge bowl of something fresh and just bursting with flavor?

We love wings at my house.  During BBQ season, we have what we call ‘Wing Fest’.  Completely overload the BBQ grill with a ton of wings so there will be plenty of leftovers, and toss them in a variety of sauces.  While it can be hard to compete with traditional Buffalo, Sticky Honey Sriracha Wings is a total favorite and the name says it all.  A sticky, sweet, spicy heat with an Asian twist.

3 Baked Fresh Salmon Cakes (Salmon Patties) on wood board with spicy remoulade

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that I feel like I get to have my cake and eat it too.  Sorry, I couldn’t help the corny pun.  Maybe that’s because I LOVE cake.  And I’m not just talking about sweet cakes, but I am seriously obsessed with crab cakes, fish cakes, shrimp cakes, and especially this Baked FRESH Salmon Cakes (aka Salmon Patties) with Spicy Remoulade.
