Crispy Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli

Inspired by Vietnamese bun this vermicelli bowl is topped with crispy lemongrass chicken cutlets, cucumbers, and spicy pickled veggies.

Hot dogs on a pizza?!? It might seem weird to you, but to me, it makes total sense! I mean, think about it, many pizzas are topped with some sort of sausage, so why are hot dogs different? You can top this with whatever you want, but I made mine with my favorite hot dog…

Parmesan Baked Beans

As with most families these days, I have some vegetarians in mine. Being the conscious cook, I decided to try and make a vegetarian version of baked beans that would be so delicious that no one would miss the pork or even realize something was different. I based the beans off a hearty Italian tomato sauce, and added every non-meat based version of umami I could think of. Within 5 minutes of getting to the annual 4th of July party, my vegetarian aunt reminded me that she hates beans. Oh well! These beans were worth it anyways.

Chicken Fingers… with Spicy Club Sauce

Fried Cheese… with club sauce. Popcorn shrimp… with club sauce. Chicken fingers… with spicy club sauce! I had no idea what club sauce was, but I imagined it to be like a cross between bbq sauce and cocktail sauce. The internet didn’t really help me in figuring out what it was, so I just made it how I wanted it to be. Honestly I thought the sauce was awesome, but the people I was with apparently don’t really like horseradish, so they didn’t enjoy the sauce as much as I did. I probably should have asked them before I dumped a bunch of horseradish into the sauce!
