A Fat Tuesday “Two-Fer”
I’ve never been to Mardis Gras or New Orleans, but by now you probably know that where there’s an occasion to celebrate with food, you can pretty much count me in. Take yesterday for instance: both Valentine’s Day AND Chinese New Year? I was pretty much falling all over myself with excitement! It was ugly!

How Appetizing!
We’re nearly through the Holidays! Hooray for us, we’ve almost made it! The endless party conga is about to call it quits.
And I have to tell you, I’m so darned tired of cooking. Tired of cleaning the kitchen and loading / unloading the dishwasher too. At present, I’m staring at a dried up, once-gorgeous-but-now-bordering-on-pathetic tree that needs to be taken down ASAP.

Panko Crusted Shrimp Cakes
So we’re clear: I don’t share this recipe with just anyone.
But maybe it’s because it’s December 24th, and all of my Christmas cards are finally done and outta here. Maybe it’s because all of the gifts are wrapped and I don’t have to pull an all-nighter for the first time in 5 years.

Shrimp Fried Rice
Even though I consider myself to be one of Sendik’s greatest fans, there are some days when I just plain don’t feel like putting on lipstick and going to the store. I hope this doesn’t lower your opinion of me. While on most days, I do so adore going grocery shopping, sometimes I just don’t have it in me.
Yesterday was one of those days… I just. Couldn’t. Do it.

Shrimp Curry with Spinach
I did something so stupid yesterday. I made my grocery list and went to the Store, where I filled my cart with the appropriate produce required for this dish. When got to the seafood counter, I realized that I had miss-read the sale ad – the shrimp I actually needed for this recipe were not the ones that were on sale. DOH! I ended paying $15.00 – not exactly in keeping with the frugal theme of this ‘here blog.

Greek Style Shrimp with Tomatoes & Basil
Of all of the cooking magazines I subscribe to, Food & Wine is one of my favorites. Their recipes are consistently good; I’ve never had one bomb on me (this is saying a lot!). One of my favorite F & W recipes is this fantastic Shrimp Saganaki. Large shrimp are sautéed along with onions, fresh tomatoes and olives, then finished with fresh basil and a sprinkle of feta cheese….wow. I think I’m in love!

Celebrate The Heat: Grilled Seafood Dinner
I’m going to play along with the heat and humidity by whipping up this simple and light grilled seafood supper for the DamFam tonight. [More...] This meal is ideal for a day like this; there is very little prep work involved, practically NO dirty dishes, and I won’t even have to fire up the oven

Bisque…Quick!
No silly, not pancakes or waffles out of the box. That stuff isn’t even on sale this week…..but shrimp is!
As I’ve mentioned before, I am absolutely crazy for soup. Year round.

Shrimp Cakes
This is one of the craziest, busiest, and most hectic weeks of summer we’ve had so far — I guess to make up for the peace and quiet I enjoyed while both of our girlies were away at camp last week. Well, the party’s over, as they say.
After a week-long hiatus, I’ve resumed my roll as the official DamFam taxi driver, laundress, short order cook, maid, and referee, and my ‘to-do’ list is spiraling out of control.
