I always keep a bag of frozen shrimp in my freezer. The are so easy to thaw and serve for a perfect appetizer.

OMG - That is the only work I can think of to start this recipe.  I love one pot recipes and this one was  a big hit for dinner.  We had another couple over for dinner and my husband kept asking me, "are you sure that pan is big enough"  Of course honey!  My lodge cast iron pan is Amazing and has not left my stove stop for the entire month of December!  The shallot sauce really made this dish pop with extra flavor.  All of those bits from the lamb along with the shallot, mustard and broth were the perfect combination!

Go ahead and make this! 

BTW! Mostly because it's just Glenn and I (and of course Jake) we don't need to do big shopping therefore I go almost everyday.  Almost everyone I know has told me the meats at Costco are great!  We really had a hard time believing that as we go to specialty meat markets for ours.  Well, I was at Costco with my sister-in-law and she grabbed 2 so I decided to get myself a few.  WOW the meat was amazing!  Very impressed by their meats.  Great for families or entertaining!

The name devil chicken came from the amount of red chili pepper flakes you add to the dish.  I happened a lot of garlic and roasted it then didn't know what to do with it so I added to the sauce of this dish.  OMG delicious!

You can ask your butcher to cut up a whole chicken to feed a family.  I love left overs so picked up 2 bone-in breast and 2 thighs for my husband and I.  

I also used the  garlic in my sauté garlic and roasted up butternut squash to complete this dish.

Enjoy!

My garlic kale and farfalle is a quick pasta dish.  You can also sauté in red peppers, mushrooms, zucchini or any other vegetables you have handy!  This is a perfect meatless dish!

During my journey with black bean pasta I needed to include a recipes with garlic shrimp and you should really give this one a try!  Full of flavor...

Our family loves artichokes.  It all started with my Nana. Every Easter and Christmas Eve she would be steaming a big pot of artichokes.  We would all be so excited to be sitting around the table eating them!  Of course, the heart is the best part but getting to it pedal by pedal it very exciting too.  My mother still makes artichokes and so do I.  

I enjoy them often.  I make 2 for myself - One for now and another for tomorrow (or tonight).  

You need to add tons of garlic in the leaves and drizzle with lots of EVOO.  

Enjoy xo

I just LOVE eggplant and always pick up 2 each week at the grocery store or more often if I spot them in the produce department and they look amazing.  That is why I have a category for Eggplant. 

At the lake we enjoy our "happy hour" and I love making something different especially when our lake neighbors are over.  Since I am Italian expect lots of garlic!  

Yummy..

This is a great salad for entertaining or if you are going to a gathering where you are asked to bring the salad. Everyone will love this salad and all the colors. Lay it out in a platter and top with fresh herb right before serving…

Every couple of weeks I like to make something a little different. Since most of my recipes are Italian style I like to change it up a bit. I knew I wanted chicken tonight so I came up with this delicious Paleo General Tso Chicken recipe. I accompanied this dish with my Cauliflower Fried Rice.

This is based of a traditional german potato salad I had in Germany during a beer festival. I decided to use white sweet potatoes to try to keep it as close to a Paleo recipe as possible. I made my own mayonnaise and you can go to the recipe below. Enjoy

We were in Germany for Oktoberfest and of course I had to buy a xxx.  Since I had the dress we decided to have a Halloween party and the theme was German food. I made all of my favorites we enjoyed in Munich.  

My husband and I shared a turkey burger on a plate (no bun) with gravy and it was so good.  For our party I decided to make meatballs.  I just love meatballs and they were a big hit.

I am really enjoying creating bowl recipes!  It's fun enjoying all of the flavors together.  Not to mention we just love meatballs in our family.  I hope you love this recipe!

Cindy's Note:  You can use spaghetti squash, rice noodles or even zucchini noodles.  I used linguini just because but also made it again and used spaghetti squash.  Very yummy!!!  

Spaghetti Squash - After I baked the squash and removed the strands then put in a bowl.  I added fresh ginger, salt pepper and chopped cilantro then drizzled a little sesame oil!  Amazing....

Sorry I took the picture before we garnished and ate!  We just couldn't wait.....  

This is another great pork loin recipe. The flavor with the ginger glaze just makes this dish amazing! This recipe also follows the paleo diet.

These are the perfect fall cookies!  I made 12 cookies and used a medium ice cream scoop then pressed the cookies down.  This way they were all the same size.

I have been on my chocolate kick all week. Today I decided to make this yummy cake using Moon Rabbit Pancake and Waffle Mix. You need to give my Gluten Free Chocolate Coconut Pudding Cake a try!
