Greek Naan Flat Bread

I was invited to a small bites dinner party over the weekend and was asked to bring a dish to share. The house where the party was being held had a very small kitchen so I knew I wouldn't be able to make anything too complicated and I really didn't want to bring a crock pot dish. What I settled on was one of my favorite go-to appetizers- flat bread. Naan flat bread to be exact. I always have a pack of Trader Joe's Naan in my freezer and they are perfect for an easy appetizer or a pizza for one. The topping possibilities are endless so you can really make this your own and please everyone! For this party I decided to make a Greek flat bread, based off of a dinner I had with a friend earlier in the week. The spiciness of the Peperoncini and saltiness of the feta cheese really created a mouth watering meal that translated deliciously into this appetizer.

Orange Ginger Beef and Broccoli

I've been in the mood for some Chinese carry-out lately but didn't want to settle for the grease and soggy dishes that typically arrive. I've been playing around with more Asian ingredients lately so I figured I'd try  my best to create my own carry-out. What ended up on my plate was a really tasty, sweet and savory dish that hit all the flavor points I wanted. The chili garlic sauce added a nice touch of heat without being too over powering. I can't wait to experiment with more carry-out make-overs and I think I may just make this recipe again with chicken later in the week.

Ginger Chili Garlic Snow Peas

When I made my Orange Ginger Beef and Broccoli I wanted another vegetable aside from the broccoli. I wasn't  in the mood for a big stir fry so when I saw a bag of snap peas at the grocery store I knew I had my side dish! I took the core flavors of my homemade carry-out meal and used those to flavor the snow peas.
