Skip the restaurant, and enjoy Chinese food at home with a veggie stir-fry served with hoisin sauce and moo shu pancakes (found in the frozen section of Asian markets).

This is a quick and easy recipe that never fails to please even my picky DDs. Since chicken thighs are usually inexpensive it makes a economical meal. I like to serve these with some type of rice side dish and a green salad.
BrokeAss Gourmet - $5 Dessert: Chardonnay-Poached Pears with Raspberry-Balsamic Reduction: When it comes to sexy food, there are established aphrodisiacs and then there are the foods that, for whatever reason, we as individuals are particularly responsive to.

The noodles strike a satisfying note thanks to a garlicky Thai-inspired sauce and toppings of warm tofu and vegetables that shift with the seasons. The salad-like garnish is precisely the cool, crunchy counterpoint those chewy noodles need.

Spring rolls, summer rolls, fresh rolls, salad rolls, rice paper rolls . . . whatever you call them, these are one of my favorite foods. I order them as an appetizer every time I see them on a menu...
There's fiesta night, and then there's FIESTA NIGHT! Carnitas tacos is about as good as it gets at our house. This recipe is mostly hands off because you put it in the slow cooker and forget about it (except that your house smells like delicious pork). Leftovers are great for quesadillas, taco salad, or pulled pork sandwiches.
