I would eat these every day if Todd wouldn’t start looking at me funny like I needed an intervention. Tacos everyday all day. He asks me where I want to go for date night and I just stare at him like he is speaking a foreign language. OF COURSE we must have tacos. And these spicy shrimp numbers are my absolute favorite to whip up at home.
This salsa is magic just with chips. But I have also mounded it atop grilled steak, dumped it onto tacos and spooned it ever so gently onto a nice piece of pan fried mahi. I imagine I would also swoon if it found it’s way onto a burger with bacon or with fried chicken or on a omelet. WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS – it’s good on just about anything.
We thought you may need a mid-week dinner idea that will absolutely make your skirts fly up.
Last night I was deep into a Netflix binge and a neat Bourbon because: HORMONES. Bitchy little things, aren’t they? Anyway… moving along. Emily shot me a text of the dinner she whipped up for her brood and I immediately wished I was at HER house instead of wallowing in hormonal sorrow.
Emily makes this gorgeous little thing every year for her husband Ron’s birthday – which just so happens to be on July 4th! So of course his cake has to be patriotic and festive! When we posted a quick iPhone snap of it last over on Insta we had a million requests for a recipe!
Let’s chat for a minute, ok? We haven’t talked about this together yet and we need to just get it out of the way.
I’m vegan-ISH now. Heavy on the ish. And listen up – I know that die hard vegans want to throat punch me for being anything but whole hog vegan.
I can’t believe I just typed that.
Yes I can.
Sausage gravy is one of the best weekend breakfast splurges I could ever possibly think of! It’s comforting and rich and so dang southern you’ll develop the loveliest drawl even if you’re a born and bred northerner.
Biscuits and pie dough are therapeutic for me… the ritual of working dough calms my nerves and brings me back to center. It is a careful and thoughtful expression of love for the people that I am baking for – more than an intricately decorated cake – more than a 5-course dinner… this simple tradition of making the best biscuits for my people, there is nothing like it.
One of the things I love about this recipe is that these are so easy to make a big batch of and then freeze them! They make a super quick breakfast – just pull them out of the freezer, pop in the micro for a few seconds and then in the toaster! WHAAAAAT is this magic? The best homemade pancakes ready in just a few minutes whenever you feel like it? Yes indeed.
