Finding the Best in a Situation
Valentine’s Day. I know some call it the “Hallmark Holiday” but I’m the romantic type [much to my hubs chagrin ;)] and don’t see it that way at all. I find joy in celebrating being a couple. Because there are some days, some hours, some moments when it is just. not. easy. So making a big to-do about Love… I think its necessary. I think it is a great reminder what it is supposed to be. I think it’s too easy to take advantage (not on purpose!) of your spouse in the hustle and bustle of our crazy days. Taking a day to really say “I Love You” is needed.…

Tasty Tuesday: Shrimp Scampi Improvised
My boys have a favorite meal; Shrimp Scampi! Only trouble is Hubs HATES shrimp. SO we don’t do the shrimp ‘thing’ when he is home. However, he was in the field the past two weeks and so when I was meal planning it was easy enough to add the favorite meal to the menu! The morning of the planned-meal came along and I made sure we had a bag of shrimp in the freezer … However, what I did NOT account for was the fact that we had opened the bag before and there were about 15 shrimp left. (15 divided by 3 … not nearly enough for my boys.)…

Cioppino: A #1 Seafood Soup
Cioppino is the quintessence of seafood dish. I love tartness, tang and even taste buds on fire. And, I love using the beautiful soup tureens that I picked up over the years. Great food in a beautiful dish… does it get better? I still do not know how to pronounce this… I usually point at it on the menu. It is always a wonderful choice, and always a bit different. I have asked for the recipe at several restaurants, and their response has been great; however, the recipes have been for about 45 folk… Not my usual family gathering! This recipe, which serves 6, came from a neighbor who swears…

Scampi by another name… Still Shrimp Scampi
I love a good shrimp dish. I love cheese. Voila Vieux Carre Scampi marries the two, and we get to celebrate. This is a dish from the French Quarter in New Orleans. Like my other favorite shrimp scampi, it is served with rice. However, this one adds the bonus of a baguette. What is better than fresh French bread? So, you see, this is a wonderful meal. Serves 41 1/2 lbs. extra large, raw, deveined shrimp2 T lemon juice1/2 t lemon-pepper1/2 t salt1 green onion, finely chopped1 clove garlic, minced1 T butter, thinly sliced2 oz. longhorn cheddar, thinly sliced Place shrimp either in a butter baking dish, or evenly divide…

Shrimp Scampi for a full table
The weekends at our house have the doors swinging! Because we have company coming to spend time with grandparents, or others just coming in to enjoy the woods, river and walk. I love to have them around, and I love to sit at the table over talk of the day, laughter over antics and just plain joy being shared. We had Shrimp Scampi with our latest crew. I wanted a fish meal and something out of the ordinary. I found it!I doubled this for 8 servings.This is a delicious meal, yet it takes very little time to prepare.2 pounds medium to large shrimp3 cloves garlic, pressedjuice of 1 lemon1/2 stick…
