Roasted Shrimp and Orzo


Here's another really wonderful recipe from the always incredible, Ina Garten.  I know, I know.  If it's from Ina, it's going to be fabulous!  It is suggested that this recipe be served at room temperature.  Well frankly, it's so darn good, that when I first make it, we end up eating it hot.  We can't wait for the cool down period.  It makes a large batch so there was lots left over.  My family eats the leftovers straight out of the fridge without even bothering to heat it up.  This dish is loaded with delicious roasted shrimp.  The roasting really intensifies the flavor of the shrimp.  There's an incredible amount of fresh dill and parsley.  When you measure out one cup of chopped dill, you'll be amazed at how much it actually is.  There's a generous amount of feta.  The feta I used was pretty strong.  Next time I'll probably use a bit less.  The only thing I don't like about this pasta is eventually my fam eats it all and there's no more in the fridge for moi!

Chocolate Chip Cookies


How many times have you read a blog post that claims to have the recipe for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.  I've read tons. I don't know if there is actually one perfect recipe. What I do know is, as of right now, these are my most favorite chocolate chip cookies in the whole world.  They're thick, soft, and wonderfully chewy and have lots of chocolate chips.  That's what I want most in my chocolate chip cookie.


This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.

Lindsey's Greek Pasta

Last night I had a wonderful treat.  My daughter cooked me a delicious meal for dinner.  How lucky am I?!!  It was honestly soooo delicious.  It has a wonderful list of ingredients that come together really quickly to make a great dinner.  Give it a try when you need dinner on the table fast and you want something healthy and comforting. When you read the recipe, it might seem to have a lot of garlic.  Don't worry.  Since it's rough chopped it can be cooked with the onion with less worry of it burning and tasting bitter.  Since it cooks until both it and the onion are soft, it becomes sweet, mellow, and even more delicious.  My daughter made it vegetarian, but if would prefer, you can add some grilled chicken.
