Shrimp in Creamy Garlic Wine Sauce
Shrimp in Creamy Garlic Wine Sauce Our schedules have been crazy-busy lately so when dinner rolls around I’m scrambling for something easy to make. Shrimp is a great go-to as it thaws and cooks quickly and I always keep a bag in the freezer. Last night I spun this creamy shrimp dish that ended up…

Raspberry Tiramisu
Raspberry Tiramisu Creamy and sweet, fluffy and soft, delicious raspberry tiramisu. Not only is this non-traditional tiramisu gluten free, but those layers of lady fingers are made from pancakes.

Pollo Fundido Enchiladas
Pollo Fundido Enchiladas Let me take you back to 1980. I was working part time in a Mexican Restaurant called Garcia’s of Scottsdale.
