For our second anniversary, my husband took me to a very high end place that served many different types of shrimp/prawn recipes. The one that I remember the most was ‘Shrimp Cocktail’.
Recently, I was featured on GoNannies.com’s post on best kid friendly crock pot recipes on the web. Say, ‘Wow!’ ;p I am on a crock pot roll. I invested some 40 odd dollars in a big, beautiful looking…
Another week to go before school reopens. Today morning I woke up to my nosy dogs, beautiful weather, a slight lethargy and the realization that in another week, I will have to start sprinting in the morning. My younger…

This one is a truly ‘throw-it-all-together-and-forget-it’ recipes that gives a chicken dish you can serve in any party and wow the crowd. This entry had once fetched me the second prize at a cooking competition. I lost the first place…
