Summer Salad Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce

Summer Salad Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce

I love salad rolls. Anytime I am in a place that has them on the menu, I just have to have them!

I will have them as an appetizer, snack or as a meal; so it was only natural that I needed to try and make them myself! …

Sesame Soy Grilled Beef Skewers

Sesame Soy Grilled Beef Skewers

I like to grill a lot, and especially when I come home from work on a hot summer day – keep cooking out of the kitchen when it’s hot out, right?! These sesame soy grilled beef skewers are perfect for those days when you want something quick and not made in the kitchen. The flavours are ones that I like to work with a lot, like ginger root, soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds and oil, and rice vinegar. They work…
