Spicy Thai Baked Wings

In this household, if there are two things we love, it is crispy chicken wings and Asian food. This recipe combines them both perfectly. The great thing about my wing recipe is that they are baked, not fried. The baked wings allows for a much healthier version of the traditional wings and also requires much less active cooking than standing over a large pot of hot oil. We use this cooking method for wings all the time with variations on the sauces. This sauce recipe is sweet and spicy with a nice balance of flavors!

Ingredients:
24 Wing Segments
2 Tablespoons Thai Chili Sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
2 teaspoon Soy Sauce
2 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Garlic Powder
2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Arrange the wing segments on a large baking sheet fitted with a wire rack that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
3. In a measuring cup, combine the remaining ingredients, minus sesame seeds. Set aside until ready to coat the wings.
4. After 1 hour, the wings should be brown and crisp. If they are not, give them a little longer. Once they have become brown, remove from the oven and place in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
5. Place the wings back on the baking rack. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
6. Bake for another 15 minutes.
7. Eat immediately!

Lentil Burgers

Last night I cooked a large pot of lentils as part of our family dinner, which means that today, I was left wondering what I could do with all these lentils for the coming week. My typical use for lentils is in chili or soups, however, that is not something that I really wanted on this bright, spring day. Instead, I thought about how I could morph the leftovers into something new that I could use throughout the week, and that is when I thought of revamping my normal veggie burger recipe. Now, as promised, since this is the Quarantine Cooking Series, please feel free to use whatever beans or greens you have in your house. While I love the way this recipe turned out, it is more important that you use what you have and the technique to create a delicious meal for you and your family. Additionally, I like my veggie burgers on the spicy side. However, this is another place when personal modifications should be made to your palate preferences. 3 Tablespoons canola oil, divided

Black-eyed Pea Croquettes

So it is well known that I make Black Bean Burgers all the time. I love the versatility of the recipe and the ability to make a week of lunches in about 15 minutes. Today, I found myself with a bowl of leftover black-eyed peas in the fridge and the desire for something new. This recipe is also great because I always have canned black-eyed peas in the pantry since they are one of my husband's favorite vegetables, which means I can make this recipe anytime. So whether you use leftover homemade, like I did, or canned, this recipe is great. Additionally, these are not coated and fried like traditional croquettes, which makes them an even better option. Enjoy these as a side dish, on a sandwich, or with a side salad for a delicious, healthy, and easy meal. These do not hold or reheat well, so enjoy them while they're hot. 2 Cups Black-eyed Peas, drained and rinsed 3 Scallions, whites and greens thinly sliced 1 Clove Garlic 1 Egg, lightly beaten 3/4 Cup Bread Crumbs,

Banana Zucchini Bread with Raisins and Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

It is that time of year again when I am working to develop new and interesting ways to use up all of the vegetables coming from the garden. Last year, I posted "The Best Zucchini Bread" recipe; this is still a great recipe but this one is even better! Since entering my last trimester of pregnancy, I am craving cinnamon raisin bread. This recipe was created to help merge the two flavors while also adding in some nutrients from bananas, as I always seems to have 2 or 3 that get left over and become a little too ripe. This bread is so fragrant, moist, and delicious! If I had some walnuts in the freezer, I might even finely chop some and incorporate them into the swirl for even more texture. This bread is perfect for breakfast, afternoon snack, or even dessert. I hope you will give this recipe a try. 2 very ripe Bananas, mashed 1 cup Zucchini, grated 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil 1 Egg, beaten 1 teaspoon Vanilla 3/4 cup Sugar 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1/2 teaspoon Bakin
