I've had wonton wrappers in my freezer for longer than I would like to admit. I've used the wrappers to make crackers and cups for appetizers but I far prefer to use the wrappers to make wontons! There is now a large bag of frozen wontons ready to use at my beck and call.

This used to be my go to order when eating out at Thai restaurants but now I can make it at home and it tastes just as authentic!

This is my brother's favorite meal and it's one of the fastest meals to make. It looks really impressive so don't give your secret away...you can whip this up in under 20 minutes.
The trick is to use raw shrimp not the precooked, the raw ones take on the garlic butter flavour and the cooked just taste oily and rubbery.

This is a classic French chicken dish of chicken braised so well it pulls apart beautifully.
I enjoyed how there was only a small amount of prep for this recipe than then you pop it in the oven and leave it for two hours. Matt helped with the prep so it went even faster, this was great as I was getting some school work done...on a Sunday! He is a wonderful hubby and also made the mashed potatoes, he really is the king of mashed potatoes! While eating the meal he told me that this was a top 10 recipe and we need to make it again soon!
Make sure you follow Julia Child's advice and sample your wine. If you're cooking with wine, it should be wine you would also drink. If the wine isn't good enough to drink it isn't good enough to cook with. Cooking will not improve the wine's flavour or the meal's!

It's a little harder to check for doneness with the nick and peak method but that's ok.
