Sauteed Shrimp
This might be some of the best homemade sauteed shrimp I have ever had.

Let’s get to the recipe –> ————————————————————————————- Here is what you need :: 1/2 […]
Sweet and Spicy Pork Chop
Tonight was one of those nights where I just kept throwing things together. It’s like a painting, starting with one color and then adding more to make it a great piece. Start with your main piece and then keep adding flavors in and you come up with a great meal. My ‘main’ choice tonight was […]

We were planing on going to La Mie Bakery, but […]
Saints Pub & Patio
It’s graduation season, and to top off all of the cake, and sweets that I consumed at my brother’s graduation party, we decided to end the night at Saint’s Pub & Patio with drinks and wings. It was my first time being at this pub and patio; my parents had been there a couple times […]
