Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Andouille Pasta

Creamy Cajun Rigatoni with Shrimp & Andouille

Apparently veggie prices are going to skyrocket for a few months.  It was quite shocking to see lettuce AND celery at $2 a bunch. But, luckily, Winco and my local Mexican market seemed to counteract the high veggie prices with some great meat and seafood deals. Sounds good to me. […]

Bacon Wrapped Beer Brats

Bacon Wrapped Beer Brats and Cucumber Salad

That smokey, salty flavor. That crispiness. That crunchy, yet chewy goodness. Yeah…I LOVE bacon. Can you tell?! And I really love things wrapped in that goodness. Like hotdogs in Mexico. They are the best! I can see some of your faces now. All shriveled up and saying, “gross!” Whatever! You […]
