This was a simply great, quick dish adapted from Cooking Light. If you catch shrimp on sale, it’s practically frugal as well… The idea for tonight was fire, sun, warmth and brightness. This fit the bill quite well.
1/2 lb fettuccine, cooked to package directions and drained (really, start cooking it as soon as you start [...]
I whipped this up together quickly one night when I didn’t really feel like cooking. Served with some creamy noodles (thanks, Lipton in a bag) and some green beans, it was easy and tasty. To cook the beans, I just pushed the finished shrimp to the side and cooked the beans with some seasoned salt [...]
Happy New Year! Have you guys heard about this apparent tradition of eating black eyed peas on New Years? I have never heard of such a thing… in my house growing up, it was always saurkraut, which is not my thing. I’m pretty sure black eyed peas aren’t my thing either. Maybe refried beans. Do [...]

As planned, we whipped up some shrimp tacos and made the mayo salsa from the chicken biscuit “sandwich” from the other day. I also made up some pico de gallo, because it was requested. They turned out very well, and other than the ton of chopping, cooked up quite quickly, too.
Shrimp:

This meal is all about cheating. It is so good though, that no one cares. It’d make a great dinner if you were trying to impress guests and didn’t really have time… It took just long enough for me to boil the water and cook the ravioli through. Because I totally cheated and [...]
This is another recipe from The Pioneer Woman. I have yet to make food from her blog that is bad. Really. Her chocolate cake alone convinced my husband to marry me (although he’ll say otherwise) so um, yes!
Ingredients:

1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. [...]
