Shrimp Asparagus Stir Fry

Seafood

Life has a funny way of getting in the way of things. Case in point, my daughter is getting married this coming weekend and as a result I have been pretty busy. The planning and prep has taken me away from my cooking and blogging. But hey, I didn’t say life getting in the way […]

Peruvian Style Rib Eye on the Big Green Egg

Beef

We wanted to make something different for our Friday Night Date Night this week and drew our inspiration from Lomo Saltado which is a traditional Peruvian Steak Stir Fry.

Heart Shaped Mushroom Ravioli with Vodka Sauce
