Thai Peanut Satay
Posted in /Cooking/Entrees/Poultry on Friday, July 14, 2017
I had picked up turkey tenderloins the other day because they were so much cheaper than the same amount of chicken. Whenever I have tenderloins I think of satay, which is the fancy way of saying skewered. This recipe was inspired by a recipe for chicken wings and that would also be amazing but this works really well for satay.

Copycat Aussie Bites
Posted in /Cooking/Snacks on Friday, July 14, 2017
Everyone I knew was raving about these Aussie bites that you can buy at Costco. They're not cheap so I decided to put my students to work testing out a recipe that would match or improve upon the Costco version.
