Where has this been all of my life!? Out of all the zucchini pasta recipes I’ve made, my shrimp scampi pasta with zucchini noodles is by far my favorite…
Cajun Crawfish Omelet
I used to be terrified of making my own omelets. There was something about the idea of having to flip the egg that gave me all the fear of my meal being a total disaster. I chalk that fear up to my previous experience with trying to make pancakes (helloooo runny mess everywhere), but that’s a different story for a different day…

Must Try Holiday Ham Recipes
Regardless of the amount of guests we plan on having over for the holidays, my family always prepares way too much food. Too much food means lots of leftovers, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing. It’s good if it all gets eaten, but bad if it goes to waste. I’m not a huge fan of leftovers when it means eating the same meal back to back, so instead I try to get creative with what we have…
