Blistered Shishito Peppers Recipe
Whenever I go out for Japanese food, if there are shishito peppers on the menu, I order them. Shishitos are the perfect appetizer since they are light (they're just vegetables) and pretty healthful. Most Japanese restaurants serve them very simply with a dousing of soy sauce or ponzu sauce. ...

Grilled Chicken with Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette Recipe
Do you ever smell a food or something in nature that takes you back to a time in your life or an experience you had?
