Yum Yum Sauce

Every year for my birthday, my grandparents would come to visit and would insist on taking me and my family out to a Japanese Steakhouse. The kind of restaurant where the chef would cook in front of you, light things on fire, toss food into the air, and generally put on a huge show. I loved the show and the delicious soup, rice, and stirfry that came along with it.

Of course, one of the best parts of the restaurant was the yum yum sauce. The creamy, pale pink sauce that went well on just about anything. Vegetables, shrimp, scallops, steak, rice - anything you were given, it just made it taste better. If only I had that sauce, I feel as if I could eat vegetables for the rest of my life and be happy. Well my friends, I have discovered a recipe for yum yum sauce and I am pleased to say that while its not quite as good as my grandparent's japanese steakhouse version, its darn near close. And now I am sharing this wonderful sauce with you.

Kielbasa Dip

Just a short post today to share one of my favorite dip recipes. This is one of those party dips that you can whip up quickly for guests that stop by unannounced. Very creamy and hearty, this dip is not very low-calorie. It will satisfy those hunger pangs though!

Make sure to have plenty of crackers on hand. This would be good on vegatables too or even pita bread. The possibilities are endless. Just be sure to use something that can stand up to this thick dip.
