Spring rolls or summer rolls. They look pretty, you can make lots of different variations, and they are super easy to make.

Short ribs. It's a simple braise but people seem to think it's hard.

Totally agree with the fruit pie poster. In fact, I made a small one for my family tonight because I was making pie dough for something else and it only took 5 more minutes to roll out some extra and throw some fruit in there.

Popovers are my other easy 'wow' food - so good, but without the hassle of yeast bread.

What a fun thread. I've already learned three things I didn't know.

Mine is homemade marshmallows. I actually hate store bought marshmallows, but homemade ones melt in your mouth and in your cocoa.
