Japanese Deviled Eggs
I created these Japanese Deviled Eggs yesterday for a dinner party we went to. The eggs are marinated in soy sauce, mirin, garlic, and ginger. I love experimenting with new versions of a classic dish.

Creamy Corn Salad
It seems like I've been posting a lot of corn salads lately. I have at least 6 different kinds on my blog. I guess you could say I like corn! It could have something to do with being raised in Indiana. This version has a creamy dressing and uses roasted red peppers and fresh basil.

Lime Pie Cups
We had some friends for dinner last night and I came up with these (no bake) Lime Pie Cups. It's way too hot to be baking! I don't usually create desserts, but I have to say it turned out very well. The sweet graham-cracker crust makes this semi-tart pie a winner.

Chili Lime Chicken Burgers
These Chili Lime Chicken Burgers are a copy of the ones you can buy at Trader Joe's. Instead of guacamole, I just put slices of avocado on top. They are citrusy and spicy. What more could you ask for?!

Coronation Chicken Salad
Coronation chicken was created in 1953, when renowned florist Constance Spry and cordon bleu chef Rosemary Hume catered for a banquet to celebrate the coronation of Elizabeth II. It is believed to be inspired by the 'Jubilee Chicken' created for George V's silver jubilee in 1935.
This Coronation Chicken Salad recipe is not the original. It’s really a curried chicken salad.
The original recipe is described as chicken, boned and coated in curry cream sauce, with, one end of each dish, a well-seasoned dressed salad of rice, green peas and pimentos. Here is the Cordon Bleu recipe.

Soda Fountain Phosphate
Phosphates were carbonated beverages made-from-scratch by the "soda jerk" using carbonated soda water, flavored syrups and phosphoric acid, an ingredient still used today in many brands of soda-pop including Coke. Popular flavors included cherry, lime (usually called a green river), chocolate and vanilla.
To make genuine phosphate sodas, you will need a bottle of acid phosphate. "Acid phosphate" is NOT the same as phosphoric acid. It's a phosphoric acid that's buffered by specific mineral salts to help it maintain the proper level of acidity.
DO NOT substitute phosphoric acid, as it can be extremely dangerous to your health!
Acid Phosphate is very hard to find now, The Prairie Moon Company carries an Acid Phosphate and over 70 flavored syrup concentrates.
