Ingredients

2 tablespoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sesame Seed, Toasted or 2 tablespoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sesame Seed, toasted
1 bottle (12 ounces) micro-brewed root beer, divided
1 package (18 1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of the sesame seed. Pour 1/3 cup of the root beer into 1-quart saucepan. Set aside.
Prepare cake mix as directed on package using remaining root beer in place of the water and adding remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seed to the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, bring root beer in saucepan to boil on high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until reduced by half (2 to 3 tablespoons). Cool to room temperature. Mix confectioners’ sugar and 4 to 5 teaspoons of the reduced root beer until glaze is of desired consistency. Immediately drizzle over cooled cake. Let stand until glaze is set.
TIP: If using McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sesame Seed, first toast in a small skillet on medium heat 2 minutes or until fragrant and golden brown. Immediately pour out of hot pan to avoid over-toasting.

Ingredients

1/2 pound angel hair pasta, dry
1/4 cup green onions, minced
3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
1 tablespoon good quality soy sauce or tamari

1 pound large raw shrimp (about 16 to 20 shrimp), peeled and deveined
1/4 cup Holland House White Cooking Wine
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce

Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, combine green onions, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, soy sauce and sesame seeds in a large bowl and stir to blend. Add hot drained pasta and toss to evenly coat. Keep warm.
Drain thawed shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in large skillet or wok; add shrimp and stir fry over medium heat for 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink, stirring frequently. Add Holland House White Cooking Wine and sweet chili sauce. Heat for 2 minutes or until bubbling and liquid is starting to reduce.

Strawberry Cucumber Salad

Strawberry Cucumber Salad – drizzled with balsamic glaze, an easy, light summer salad.

This easy light summer salad, made with cucumbers, strawberries, almonds and fresh herbs is great alongside grilled chicken, fish or for a light lunch you can double the serving and add some goat cheese to the mix or serve it over quinoa for more protein.

I'm love using balsamic glaze over salads, it's not just pretty it's sweet and tangy and there's no need for oil. Delallo makes the best one I've tried, but I've also seen the glaze at Trader Joes. If you don't have it, you can certainly drizzle the salad with regular balsamic, although it won't be as pretty.
