Shrimp Pasta VS. Fettucini Alfredo

Shrimp Pasta: A personal favorite often requested on my good friends Birthday. The basis for the recipe was stolen from Giada. This pasta dish is filling (obviously) but lighter than its competitor Fettucini. The shrimp, Tomatoes, herbs, and wine give this dish more complexity.

Fettucini Alfredo: made at least once a month for the Big Man, is an all around favorite. known to be EXTREMELY filling. This recipe was passed down to me from my grandmother. I have tried Fettucini in many restaurants and I have yet to find one that comes close to the deliciousness of this one.

Not all things are as good as they look ....

I read in a blog that I follow that this panini was a must try!!! The panini, has fresh apricots, mozzarella, sourdough and sprinkled cinnamon. As appealing as this sounded, it was NOT all that! I don't know if its the fact that I really dis-like apricots, but it was so blah that I only ate half..... and I never let a half a panini go to waste!! This was a definite thumbs down!!!

My Favorite Summer Salad!!!

My favorite Summer salad includes: Spinach, Avocados, Strawberry's, Poppy seeds, candied Walnuts or pecans, and Newmans light Raspberry walnut Vinaigrette.

Optional add on: Feta

SOOOOOOOO YUMMY!
