Gazpacho (Inspired by Jose Andres at Jaleo)

I first tried this dish when I ate at Jaleo, Jose Andres new restaurant in Las Vegas. It was so good, I had to make it myself! The original recipe calls for sherry vinegar. I didn't have any, so I used champagne vinegar instead.

Groundmeatless Spaghetti Sauce

I love meat sauce, but I don't eat ground beef. This sauce is a great substitute. If you aren't a bacon fan, or prefer ground beef, you can still make it the traditional way.

Faux Pho Bo (Vietnamese Noodle Soup)

I love eating Pho at restaurants, so I tried making it at home. I called it "faux" pho, because I used chicken stock instead of making it the traditional Vietnamese way with a beef stock. It was still really good though!
