Grilled Shrimp with Garlic and Herbs
We have been enjoying quite a few shrimp recipes this summer! Seafood just sounds better during the hot summer months doesn’t it? And shrimp is pretty affordable – especially if you buy it frozen! We (my husband) attempted this new recipe on the grill and it is both in our top 2 favorite shrimp recipes we’ve tried out so far. There is a ton of flavor and super easy to make! We grilled some artichokes as well. First steam them and make sure they are soft enough to eat. The grilling with some spices and a little olive oil just adds some nice flavor. We also grilled some corn.…

Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Lime Slaw
Nothing quite says summer like shrimp tacos while sipping on an icy cold beer if you so please! We found this delicious recipe on Pinch of Yum who brought it back from a trip she took to California. We do know how to eat our tacos out here that is for sure and you’ll find so many different types of tacos here in SoCal! We added a little twist (avocado to the sauce and changed out some spices) but overall you don’t need to do much with this recipe – it really is as good as it looks! The spices mix together so well and it has such an…

A Southern Dish: Shrimp and Grits
This recipe comes from the talented Bobby Flay but we did tweak it a bit. I absolutely love Southern food and grits is right up there as my top favorite foods! I grew up eating grits with eggs and bacon and love when I find them served here in southern California restaurants, which unfortunately isn’t very often. We made this in under 45 minutes – but this if prep and cooking time. And throw in 2 minutes to eat it! Just kidding. But it really is so good it is hard to refrain from eating too quickly. Here is what you’ll need: 4 cups of water salt and…

Recipe :: Shrimp Boil in Foil
This shrimp boil in foil is a new recipe we tried out this weekend and I absolutely love it so had to share with you all! My husband found it on Tasteful Adventure and this no-mess dish is amazing! It takes like 20 minutes to bake in the oven or barbecue (our option) and there is not big mess to clean up! This makes a great dish to make at a party or Sunday night with the family. What’s not to love?! Seafood, potatoes, corn on the cob, andouille sausage and my favorite seafood cajun seasoning sprinkled all over it. It is one of my favorite dishes we’ve made! Ingredients…

Recipe :: Beef Braciole with Egg and Tomato Braising Sauce
Using left-over hard cooked eggs….. I got a glimpse of summer during the kid’s Spring Break and I liked it! But, back to the real world and that means using up holiday leftovers, grocery shopping, packing lunches and making dinners that can extend into said lunches. My Monday night meal usually consists of some version of spaghetti and meatballs (due to my teenage son’s disproportionate love and adoration of this meal), but this week, I had extra hard-cooked eggs the Easter Bunny left behind that I needed to use. What to do? I made Beef Braciole in a Tomato Braising sauce with Polenta….this week’s version of spaghetti and meatballs.…

Recipe :: Vegetarian Minestrone Soup
Our whole family managed to catch the flu that’s going around the past few weeks. My husband’s doctor told him they are seeing record numbers in just Orange County alone this month! I can tell you it has been a tough week of high fevers and aches and pains. But now that we are on the other end of it, I wanted to make some healthy soup to help us get back on our feet. This Vegetable Soup recipe is really easy and one that will take you about 10 minutes to put together. You can freeze leftovers to have on those nights you don’t have time to cook as it…
