If you haven’t tried broccoli rabe, I’d love for you to try this broccoli rabe and shrimp lo mein.   The spicy peanut sauce is the perfect balance to the slight bitterness of the broccoli rabe. My store sells already roasted garlic cloves, which makes them a bit milder.  If you are using fresh garlic, start with two cloves and add more to your taste. What...

I know the recipe title black bean and quinoa cakes with shrimp and spinach chimichurri is long – but holy balls – this recipe is so good! The base of this recipe is again my friend Nicole’s black bean and quinoa burger mix.  Her recipe makes 6 burgers, but I use the filling for so many things. Yesterday for lunch I had some cilantro that...

This shrimp lettuce cups with peanut sauce recipe is a great recipe to have on hand when you are low in points for the day. I realize that I am a condiment whore and if you are too, you probably have everything to make this. What should you look for in buying frozen shrimp? Unless you live near a body of water that has fresh...

This past weekend my friend Morgan and I did a whole night of Marion’s Kitchen recipes, including her spicy shrimp wontons. Morgan and I met on Instagram two years ago, and I am blessed to call her my friend.  We are foodie friends through and through and we miss dining in Chicago, so we decided to get together and cook some recipes together.  Marion’s Kitchen...

My brother loves peanut butter and  I thought of him the whole time I made this spicy peanut noodles with shrimp.  If you were to ask my brother what his favorite food is, it wouldn’t be tacos or pizza.  It would be peanut butter!   Not sure he would eat it with the shrimp, or sugar snap peas for that matter, but hey, I thought about...

Is there anything better than crispy shrimp? The other day I made these crispy shrimp and I basically want to put them on my menu each week. I used regular frozen shrimp from @marianos – just $6.99 a bag, but I swear they tasted just like lobster! The recipe is so simple – my first thought was to deep fry, but I know not everyone...

Poor Man’s Lobster Rolls.  Please read my story about how these lobster rolls came to be! In 2013 my late husband and I drove across the country from Chicago to Austin, Texas.  It was pretty much the longest trip of my life.  Not only did Tony hate my driving, and complain about it that I was going too slow and that I had to keep...

Scroll down for my brown rice risotto – so good! My routine is so out of whack.  I never knew how much I craved routine until these last couple weeks working from home.  I’ve gotten into the habit of staying up until midnight, sleeping in with the dogs until 8 a.m. before clocking in at 9. My only decision to help myself from making all...

I have a new to me product that I need to share.  Natural Heaven hearts of palm . . . pasta!   First, one of the number one question I got when I posted this on Instagram was “Biz, does it taste like pasta?”  Well, the answer is no – because it’s hearts of palm.  It absorbs the flavors of the dish.  I happen to love...
