These flavor-packed peanut-sesame chicken lettuce cups are as simple as it gets for a weeknight dinner.

These homemade summer rolls (aka shrimp rolls) make the perfect light appetizer or lunch, especially with this easy peanut dipping sauce. The dish is highly adaptable too. The shrimp can be replaced with slices of cooked pork, cilantro can take the place of mint or basil, and romaine or even iceberg can be a good Napa cabbage substitute.

This cake was made with the peanut butter obsessed in mind; Peanut butter cake, peanut butter frosting, AND peanut butter drizzle.

Satay, a national dish of Indonesia, is a popular Southeast Asian street food. We're using flavorful chicken thigh meat here, but you can substitute anything from breast meat to pork or beef or even tofu and vegetables. But that peanut sauce? Absolutely essential to the eating experience, and contains all the fragrant notes of lemongrass, coconut, fish sauce, and fresh lime zest.
