Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Two ingredients, so much flavor. Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. Two things you can generally find in our freezer are bacon and shrimp. Bacon because we use it to add flavor to many dishes, but don’t often eat it as…well bacon. We keep frozen shrimp on hand for easy week night meals or in case we’re invited to an impromptu gathering and need a quick & tasty appetizer. Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is just that. We’re open to invitations.

Thai Beef Salad {with Fresh Herbs}
Thai Beef Salad. What a lovely way to enjoy a good piece of beef. I know most recipes call for using lean flank steak. And while I’m sure that’s very nice on this salad, on the rare occasion that we have steak, I prefer the most tender cut I can find. And that would be a filet. Grilled to medium-rare. Sliced nice and thin. It was that thought alone that inspired this recipe post. Every bite of this Thai Beef Salad is a flavor explosion.

Homemade Bagels
It took me quite some time to build up the nerve to attempt Homemade Bagels. The list of ingredients and lengthy instructions lay by my computer for weeks. I struggled to locate Diastatic Malt Powder, which was my first excuse for delay, but ultimately ordered it from Amazon. I couldn’t make bagels without smoked salmon and cream cheese to enjoy them with. I bought them the next time I was in the grocery store. When the day came that I was finally ready, I was confident and I was hungry. Let’s do this.

Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts {with Orzo & Bacon}
Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts {with Orzo & Bacon}. Thought I’d take Roasted Brussels Sprouts in a little different direction, by pan roasting them, then tossing them with crispy bacon and orzo, and topping with toasted panko breadcrumbs. I’m really glad I did.
