What I Bookmarked This Week

Iโ€™ve made Golden Grahama sโ€™mores bars (linked above under 2012), and I loooove the addition of peanut butter cups in these golden grahams smores bars with peanut butter cups.

Planning to try this ginger peanut chicken with coconut rice and use chopped almonds instead of peanuts.

These honey sesame chicken bowls sound like an easy, light summer dinner.

So intrigued by this grinder pasta salad!
