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!

Super Easy Mac & Cheese
Super Easy Mac & Cheese is perfect to get your kids involved in dinner. One of the things I am passionate about is getting kids interested in cooking. Over the years, I have taught many kids how to make simple meals. They can learn math skills, practice fine-motor coordination, make choices about nutrition, and practice basic cooking techniques. They can learn about different countries and traditions by making foods from around the world. It's also a great way to get families together in the kitchen. If you get kids cooking at an early age, chances are they will continue this good habit as they grow. I happen to collect Macaroni & Cheese recipes. I ran across this one and thought it would be perfect for kids to make. Just make sure you are there to help or supervise the pasta boiling part!
