Spring is Here!

Today is the first day of Spring, I've been on the countdown since 2 weeks ago and I'm so excited for some reason! Flowers are blooming, Spring showers are falling, the sun is shining, and pollen is all over the place and my allergies are already acting up! Oh yes, the joys of Spring, lol! We've been blessed here with a mild Winter and it's actually been warm enough to wear a sundress a few times in "Winter." I love long flowing sundresses. Here are some of my flirty favorites from Gap Inc Spring 2012.
Happy Spring!

I made a pasta the other day using angel hair noodles (my favorite), a bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing, and some left over cilantro from the shrimp & grits recipe. Sounds easy right? Well it is! Here's the recipe:

My Shrimp & Grits

Ummm, shrimp and grits! Who doesn't love this combo? After eating this dish a few years ago for the first time, I simply fell in love. I have been tweaking my own recipe for shrimp and grits for some time now. I think I finally have it down to the point where I can share my recipe with other moderate skilled level cooks. The great thing about this meal is that it's very versatile, so you can make it any way you want to make it and eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you feel impelled to try this recipe, let me know what you think! So here's my rendition:
