Did you know that there is an International Pizza Expo held in Las Vegas, March 8-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center? Neither did I until a few weeks ago. They have seminars and exhibitors in all things pizza and pizza related. I don’t know about your family but my family LOVES pizza! Think of…

Crispy Shrimp and Pasta
When I first started talking about making this dish the kids looked at me skeptically. They love shrimp but they usually have it cooked in garlic butter or maybe an alfredo sauce but when I said I was going to put a light coating on it before frying it I got, The Look. Neither one…
Shrimp Po-Boys
We have been eating quite a bit of shrimp and fish lately. Still trying to stick to the mostly vegetarian diet while still eating fish and seafood, and dairy. I noticed today our milk consumption is slowly dropping as I am sure our cheese consumption will slowly start to go down to as we slowly…
Shrimp with Creamy Tomato Sauce or How I Have Deprived My Children of a “Normal” Childhood
I have started having my children “help” make dinner each night. One cooks while the other sets the table. I give guidance and tell them what to add. They are getting good at knowing different terms such as saute’, pan fry and sweat the onions. Tonight they are being a bit stubborn and picking at…
Cheese Ravioli with Pesto and Shrimp
“Some days are like that even in Australia,” is a phrase often repeated in our house when the day goes all wrong and seems to be busting at the seams. This was one of those days. I am still nursing a sore knee. It is much better than it was three weeks ago but I…
Shrimp Quesadillas
The first day of school started off at a run, literally. My son slept through his alarm. Thirty-five minutes of a loud beeping alarm, he slept through. Of course we also overslept until 6:30 am. Oops. He needs to be at the bus stop by 7:05. This is a kid who needs at least an…
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…
Slow Cooker Jambalaya
Most of my dinner photographs are pretty awful. I am not a photographer. This has to be one of the worst pictures I have ever posted. This was taken after dinner when I realized I forgot to take a picture and there was just a little bit of Jambalaya left in the bottom of the…
Garlic Baked Shrimp
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I thought I had hit the Holy Grail of recipes. A Weight Watchers recipe with garlic and shrimp. Two of my families favorite items. I should have been a bit more skeptical when I was making this that something wasn’t quite right. The original recipe I followed is…
Shrimp with Bertolli Vodka Sauce
I can count on my two hands the number of times I have bought jarred spaghetti sauce. To me it is just easier to use crushed tomatoes and spices and make my own. Plus having a child with many food sensitivities makes finding ready to use products difficult. But, there was a sale last week…
Crock Pot Jambalya
This is not in any way “real” Jambalaya. This is my creation with what I had on hand to make a Jambalya-esque meal. I am trying to use as many ingredients in my cooking as I can find in my pantry without having to go by new spices and ingredients. Ingredients: Chicken Andouille Sausage –…
Garlic Shrimp with White Wine Sauce

Ingredients: 6 cloves of garlic, minced Salt Pepper 4 Tablespoons olive oil 1 pound shrimp (I used frozen cooked shrimp) 1/2 cup butter 1 cup white wine Parsley Basil Feta…
