Ancho Chile Surf & Turf
Well hello! How are you all on this Wednesday morning? I am tiiirrreeedddd. Bikram kicked my butt and then I got up before 5am to do my morning work out, so I am draggin’ today. There was some serious storm moving through last night though, some tree branches and things were down on the raods this morning on the commute into work. My prayers are with the family and friends of those in the Midwest that had the storms come through and caused significant damage. Those big storms are so unexpected most of the time and cause so much damage, it is really scary. Stay safe everyone! In other brighter…

Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli
Well hello! I am back from Portugal! I have been MIA this past week, which I do apologize for. Portugal was very much different than I thought it would be. It was a bit rainy and a tad bit chilly for my taste, but we did go at a bad time of year. Can’t really complain too much since the trip was pretty inexpensive since Patrick had to work over there. Since Patrick was working, during the days I spent most of my time wandering around the streets of Setubal, drinking tons of “café”, which is not coffee it is espresso. Honestly, it was my favorite part of the trip.…

Zesty Lemon Shrimp Pasta
Ok, so again this being grown up thing? When did this happen? The getting up and going to work thing is overrated. Yea yea, money is nice…but man, if I could just get an extra hour of sleep everyday that would be saaawweeet! To add the grownupness…Patrick and I stumbled across a house that we like and decided to go look at it. One of those things that we drive by it every day to work and decided “what the heck” why not go and check it out just for fun? Talk about your all time backfires. Guess who the dumb girl is that really likes this house is even…

Pesto Shrimp Pasta
Hello there! I trust you had a fabulous weekend. My weekend was pretty good. Definitely went to a Mac and Cheese tasting with some of my friends, haha. Mac and Cheese tasting you say?? Believe me this was the best idea they could have ever had. Each person that came to the tasting brought their own Mac and Cheese dish. They were numbered and then we all tried the dishes and cast our votes. My Mac and Cheese came in 2nd place, woot woot! haha, I have to say it was pretty fun and all the different Mac and Cheeses?! Can we say food coma? We had a blast chatting…

Spicy Chipotle Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple
What a perfect weekend! It was sunny and there was lots celebrating! Tino’s grandmother turned 95 this weekend!! How amazing is that?! She is such a pistol too, hehe. Even at 95 she is still sneaky, she was able to get a taste of her cake without ANYONE, besides me but I wouldn’t dare say a word ;-), seeing her (you know the sneaky finger in icing trick, haha). I was also able to celebrate a fabulous Mother’s Day with my mom. Every year it is our tradition to go to her favorite farm and to pick out all her vegetables, spices, flowers, etc. for her garden my treat! Then…

Pananas Restaurant
I woke up this morning to SUN! YAY! 🙂 We got so much rain over the past few days. I think overall in my area we got anywhere between 6″-12″ of rain depending on where you were. That is more rain that we got all summer! Crazy…it did however make for some pretty pictures this morning as I sipped my coffee in the brisk 60 degree weather. (pictures courtesy of Mr. Liebro’s plants) The reason for my post today is because I went to a restaurant last night in Agawam, Mass and I wanted to share it with you all. It was one of the better meals that I have…
