I’m trying something new, Foodies. No more than two paragraphs before we get to the recipe! I used to be a “tell your entire life story before giving up the recipe” sort of person. That is…until I started using other people’s recipes. Sorry, but it’s ERKY to have to scroll through 17 pages of musings in order to get the …

So I hear that May 10 is “National Shrimp Day” here in the United States. International Foodies: Do your countries have this same propensity to allow every day to be multiple holidays dedicated to all things – exciting to mundane? If so, then this day should make perfect sense to you. Anyhoo. I love shrimp. No, like, seriously. I LOVE SHRIMP. …

Now for those of you who are new, I’d like to let you in on an important piece of information (that you probably already know): when I put the name of food is “quotations,” it means it’s not really that food.

Every once in a while someone sends me a food picture that is just…”screen-lick-worthy.” Such is the case with Selby’s Jerk Shrimp & Quinoa. I mean look at it. I know from VAST experience from island food that it has a kick to it (so proceed with caution if you don’t do well with even slightly spicy foods). And the …

True fact: What you see above? I made in 20 minutes this morning while the kids were feeding the dog. And it will be my lunch probably for the entire week. This is the story of how a simple bag of frozen cauliflower became so much more… (By the way to all my Facebook Foodies, this is the take-out swap …

Well, folks. It was bound to happen. With two kids in public school, some noxious germ was bound to find its way into my body. My immune system is fighting hard, though!
