Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu
Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu is a delicious salad, though I will admit a bit time consuming. Pressing all the liquid out of the tofu, then marinating and roasting it, makes this dish so flavorful.

Baked Chicken Wings 2 Ways
Chicken Wings 2 Ways is a great appetizer for any party. Traditional chicken wings are pretty spicy. I added a non-spicy version. You can divide the recipe in half and make both to satisfy everyone. The key to crispy chicken wings is boiling them first. These seem counter-intuitive, but it works. Make sure you pat them dry before roasting. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!
