Shrimp Scampi Lasagna
Can you believe Christmas is just a week away? Where did all the time go? Even my daughter said that this Christmas season flew by. We had plans for so many wonderful things that we just haven’t gotten to. But, we did get to do lots of great things like see one of my daughter’s…
Downtown Market – Grand Rapids, Michigan
We don’t get to Grand Rapids as often as I wish we did but when we do I have to stop at the Downtown Market. I love this place. They have higher end shops for meat, fish, spices, cheese, and bread. But, they also have several smaller places to get a bite to eat. Being…
Cape May Cafe – Seafood Buffet – Dinner Day 2
Plate from lower left (clockwise): red potatoes, peel-and-eat shrimp, paella, roasted root vegetables, and clams. We arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early at the Beach Club. We sat in the lobby for only about 5 minutes before our buzzer went off and we were seated for dinner. We had a later reservation of 8:00…

Well, if you have missed parts I and II of our adventures you can catch up here (click for links). We had been in Boston for 4 days and were now visiting family in Rhode Island. It was wonderful catching up with everyone that we haven’t seen since my mother-in-law died two and a half…
On the Road Again, Part II

Buffalo Shrimp Tostadas
When I first told my kids about this dish I got “the Face.” You know the scrunchy face your kids make when they think something sounds weird or yucky. They both said, “Buffalo sauce on shrimp? That will be disgusting.” They love Buffalo wings and Buffalo sauce and I guaranteed them they would like it,…
Vegetable and Shrimp Enchilada Verde
We have some new followers to a bit about us. I am trying to make a different meal each week night for my family. I have been on this quest for about 2 years. My son decided last month that he was going to be a vegetarian so I am trying to now balance his…
Columbia Harbour House
Whenever we are in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World we plan to eat at Columbia Harbour House. During the off hours it generally is not as crowded as some other restaurant and if you are lucky you can get a table upstairs overlooking Liberty Square. The day we were here it was a…
Sometimes Simple is Better – Simple Baked Salmon
When things get hectic it is nice to make a simple dinner. The other night we had been out of the house just about every night for a meeting, class or lesson. I just wanted life to slow down a bit. I had my daughter choose our meat for dinner and she chose salmon. It…
Emeril’s Seafood Mac and Cheese
Our lives are undergoing another shift soon. My children will move up from elementary school to middle school and from middle school to high school. I don’t know how this could be happening. I swear they just entered pre-school yesterday. Another shift is that my daughter, the one going into high school, has decided to…
