I came up with this recipe when my friend really wanted hummus as a side dish but I'd already planned a Japanese main course. To be honest, we were worried about the outcome, but it ended up being very good. It was really refreshing, especially with the ginger and rice vinegar notes coming through.
For those of us who love Peeps, try adding a chocolate coating for a special treat. This is a guide about making chocolate dipped peeps.

Do you buy the bags of Cuties? If you do, turn the bag on its side and tear open the side of the bag. The wrapper/handle is rigid enough to create a bowl. You might want to place a plate underneath just in case an orange leaks. :)
Stir Fried Noodles with Beef and Shrimp
By 15mhhm15
In Vietnamese this dish is called Banh Pho Xao Bo Tom which translates to rice noodles stir fried beef and shrimp. I like to occasionally make this dish because it is really easy and tastes delicious. This dish is versatile as you can switch up the meat and vegetables. You can use chicken, beef, or shrimp. For vegetables, you can use Chinese chives, bean sprouts, bok choy, etc.

This is a great way to use up over-ripe bananas. I found this recipe online and tweaked it just a little bit to work with my old blender.
