Spicy Shrimp and Avocado Salad
Spicy Shrimp and Avocado Salad is a light and refreshing lunch or light dinner. Sweet shrimp are sauteed in a spicy cilantro sauce and topped with fresh avocado, onions and tomatoes. In our sleepy, one horse town we have a lone Mexican restaurant called Mi Cocina. It is by far the most popular place to eat in town (because tacos, y'all). And even though we don't go out ...
BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
I'm going to give all you single ladies out there a little advice on what to look for in a husband. First, he has to have a job or at least a marketable skill. No free-loaders.

Although I am considering giving up chocolate. I ,for one, love Lent. No, not because of the spiritual cleansing, but ...

One of my readers, Sassy Molassy, mentioned on the last post that she had a great gumbo recipe ( which I would love to try by the way) for leftover turkey. This got me thinking about Louisiana and the phenomenal food that can be found everywhere in that state. Now I haven't been to the great Cajun state since I've had children, but I vividly remember all of the flavors found ...
