Dragon Chicken in Lettuce Leaves
This dish is not nearly as intimidating as it sounds. Though it is
called “dragon chicken”- you don’t have to make it hot. If you like
spice, add Siracha when you assemble your lettuce cups. For extra
crunch you can also add fresh mung bean sprouts, chopped macadamia nuts,
peanuts, or water chestnuts (that have been rinsed and diced). This
will quickly become a family favorite in your household!

A healthy way to make an favorite summer treat!
Herbal Simple Syrups
3 cups granulated sugar
3 cups water
½ cup dried herb of choice or 1 cup fresh herb
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to simmer and stir until sugar dissolves then immediately remove from heat (do not allow sugar to cook and caramelize–this will change the flavor). Stir in the herb and allow to cool to room temperature. Strain and store in refrigerator. These are excellent poured over shave ice for a more “gourmet” option or stirred in iced tea as a flavored sweetener. The syrup will keep for several weeks if refrigerated.

Max’s Superbowl Snacks – Pigs in a Blanket
Chef Jessica’s 8-yr-old son, Max, is quite the cook too. In this video
he shares his favorite recipe so you can make them for your party.
1 package canned crescent rolls
8 hotdogs
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll the crescent dough and fold it in half to create a long thin rectangle. Press all seams together. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and use a rolling pin to press the cheese into the dough. Flip dough over and press remaining cheese into other side. Cut each hotdog in half (so it is half the original length). Cut the rolled dough into 16 equal size strips and roll one around each of the hotdog halves, pinching to secure the edge. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place prepared pigs in a blanket on the pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until dough is golden brown. Serve with ketchup, mustard, barbeque sauce, or any condiment you prefer.
