Cooking Challenge

I love cooking, watching cooking shows to get inspired, and collecting cooking books, but from time to time I get into a cooking rut and only rotate a few recipes. So my challenge is to cook a new recipe every week! Ideally ones with whole ingredients and that are healthy, but I know I'll also indulge in some sweets!

First recipe is with Shishito peppers! When Ryan and I go out for sushi, we'll usually order shishitos as an appetizer. One out of ten are spicy, but that is what makes then fun! They are almost always a little charred and have a soy lemon sauce poured over them. When I was at Trader Joe's recently, I saw they sell them in the their refrigerator section for $2, so I had to buy them and make a good appetizer that would pair well with a light beer or white wine.

Verdict--have already made these again and will continue to!
