Blistered Shishito Peppers with Browned Butter, Lemon and Parmesan
Usually, these are made with soy sauce and bonito flakes. This recipe for Blistered Shishito Peppers with Browned Butter, Lemon and Parmesan is a completely different way of serving them. About one out of every ten peppers is spicy. The person that gets the spicy one will have good luck!

Marmite Popcorn
I happen to love snacks. In fact, if I could, I would eat snacks instead of real meals, but that would send the wrong message to my (now adult) children. One of my favorite snacks is from the UK called Twiglets. It's definitely an acquired taste. It's marmite covered twigs. Doesn't that sound appealing?! Since they are difficult to find here and rather expensive, this Marmite Popcorn fits the bill.

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!
