I’ve completely jumped onto the ‘Bowl’ bandwagon. Rice bowls, ramen bowls, power bowls, Buddha bowls, dragon, macro, breakfast and lunch bowls….they all make me happy. The perfect portion of noodles, rice or grains with added protein & veggie love. Our latest creation is the Honey Walnut Shrimp Power Bowl inspired by ingredients already on hand. Win-win power bowl.

I scored these gorgeous tomatoes at the market this week, aren’t the colors amazing! Each year when tomato season hits, we run down the list of our favorite tomato recipes. Almost in unison, I heard Caprese Salad and Bread Salad. Just think what gorgeous children those two classics will make. That’s when the Caprese Panzanella love child was born. Continue reading »

While I’m not Catholic, I did grow up in a predominantly Catholic community. I was the kid who begged to spend Friday night at my friend’s house because I knew there would be fish sticks or fish sandwiches for dinner. Something I adored.
It’s in that spirit that on this Friday evening I share some of our favorite Friday Night Fish Sandwiches with you. Enjoy!! Continue reading »

All that walking during our lunch hour, makes these girls hungry. I’m proposing Spicy Shrimp Thai Buddha Bowls all around. Continue reading »

Several years ago I got a hankering to attempt the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our Christmas Eve dinner. I carefully selected recipes, ordered specialty items ahead from our local seafood market, and rewrote my plan of attack dozens of times before the big day arrived. I envisioned this becoming our new Christmas Eve traditional dinner and oh how that excited me.

As a kid who grew up eating frozen fish sticks at least once a week, and loving them I might add….imagine my delight when I was introduced to frozen battered shrimp. Oh my word. What a treat. Well….that was then, and these from scratch Crispy Fried Shrimp are definitely NOW. Continue reading »

We were gifted 7 pounds of fresh-off-the-boat Georgia shrimp a month or two back (thanks to my mom & dad in-law). I froze them in one pound packs so they would thaw quickly when we had a shrimp hankering. On this particular day, I couldn’t get enough of these Buffalo Shrimp. They were too tasty not to share.

Spicy Shrimp & Spinach Quesadilla. Sometimes you have a dish at a restaurant that needs to be recreated. Typically it’s because that dish becomes engrained on your taste buds…..in a good way. Continue reading »
