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…

Worlds Best Marinara Sauce!
You know some nights you just crave pasta?! Well, last night was one of those nights and we went on a search to try out a new marinara sauce. We had picked up some yummy homemade meatballs at our local Italian deli (I highly advise to do this to cut down on time in the kitchen) and found a delicious recipe on All Recipes. We always like to add our own spin on recipes – you know add more garlic or olive oil. But this recipe is pretty right on so we followed it minus the white wine. The whole family really liked it – even our daughter whose…

Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Homemade Coleslaw
Can I confess something… I have never made homemade coleslaw before! It is one of those things I would just pick up from the grocery store and never thought to make myself. Well, today was the day we (my husband and I) decided we would follow a new recipe we discovered that calls for coleslaw and when he said “let’s just buy some” the adventurer inside of me came out and said “no, let’s try to make our own.” Boy, am I glad it did because folks, this just might be the best coleslaw recipe you’ve come across! Who knew it could have so many flavors and not…

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…

Summer is so close we can taste it! And while “summer school” often gets a bad rap, Nellie’s Free Range Eggs wants parents and kids to get into the kitchen and prepare delicious egg-centric recipes during its own “Nellie’s Summer School” this June. If you’re not already familiar, Nellie’s is committed to providing better lives for hens, which means better eggs for you and your family!

You can read more about the company, their humane practices and differences…
