Ever made something so good, people continued to talk about two and a half years later? That was me with these Teriyaki Chicken Wontons. I actually made them as eggrolls initially, and served them at a party. People still tell me it's their favorite thing I have ever made, so you know it's pretty memorable!

Loaded Steak Salad

May 11, 2025 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

P.S – it’s completely free!   If you've been a guest in my home, you already know that I love to put together a great salad. In my opinion, the secret that sets a good salad apart from a great one is a TON of textural elements. One crunchy thing is good, but multiple crunches is better. You need chewy, soft, crispy....you get the idea! While I generally like a tossed salad, an arranged platter like this is great for a crowd. It looks beautiful, but it also allows everyone to choose which components … [Read more...]
