4 Dynamite Lumpia RecipeÂ
Lumpia is the ultimate party food so why not make a spicier version that marries a lumpiang shanghai and a cheese stick in one spicy bite? That's probably how the dynamite lumpia was created!

Fry it up so the cheese melts, the meat cooks through, and the wrapper becomes crispy.  Â
5 Roasted Baby Potatoes RecipeÂ

A toss in spices, a spoonful of soured cream, and a sprinkle of chorizo is all it takes to make these party-worthy.Â
