Summer Garden Salad with Chili-Garlic Shrimp

Let's pretend it's summer.  Forget the snow that's still lingering on the ground.  The sky is blue, the air is warm. We get to eat outside for the first time in months.

When these veggies do start growing in my garden this summer, this salad will be all the better.  Plan your garden now and I assure you you'll be having it often, too.

Grilled Cheese Panini Without The Press

Triangle bread at Costco.  You only spend five dollars and you actually have a bag of bread big enough to look worth it, unlike the other two hundred bucks you spent for the cart full of nearly nuthin'.  It's great for so many things, which I'll get to another time.  Today it's about a grilled cheese panini, with a simple lid or pot or baking pan bottom as your press. 

Five Minute Nachos

Need a quick five minute lunch?  Here's today's lunch, quickly prepared before the wake up of my five month old for her lunch.  Of course, she won out and got hers first.
