I was looking for more ways to use up that delish fresh mozzarella from my friend, and came up with this mozzarella and crispy salami focaccia sandwich that used up all kinds of leftovers from pizza night (including this Pizza Dough Focaccia). I see a lot of these sandwiches in my future. Guessipe focaccia olive…

Thai Curry
When I think of Thai food, the coconut-y curry is the first thing that comes to mind. Once I’ve made this for people, I get repeat requests to make it again. The great thing about this Guessipe is it’s super flexible – pick whichever curry paste you like best – panang, green, red, yellow, etc….

So this lettuce-less salad is awesome, because it’s a hearty salad you can really dig into. I…
Spicy Peanut Noodles
This was my aunt’s go-to dish for parties. I think it’s an Americanized version of a peanut noodle dish that probably originally called for egg noodles.
