Spiral Zucchini Noodles = ZOODLES Zoodles with Shrimps and Tomatoes absolutely amazing, which my daughter calls it “Vegethi“, as a Vegetable-Spaghetti combined together. My kids loved it, my husband is over the moon, which is pretty crazy considering that he might be one person who could love pasta more read more
The best thing about summer is loads of fresh produce, either from your garden, farmers market or even from your grocery store. I know that we have fresh produce, literally all year round, but we know what’s in season and what’s not. So, if read more
Summer is coming, meaning that lighter meals will be more popular, just like these tasty Cajun Shrimp Lettuce Wraps.
It is getting already humid over here in the music city, and I do not like it at all.
I like Spring, and Fall time and humidity is something that I cannot handle, period.
Now, if I had a nice beach next to my house instead of a community pool that is so crowded over summer my story would be more positive.
I am a swimmer, have been my whole life, literally. So having that pool is like nothing to me if I can’t relax, swim or play with my kids.
It gets so incredibly crowded, but hey, everyone is trying to cool off. Besides, there are always rivers and lakes, right?!
Back to food talk. I have been trying to eat more seafood and include fresh veggies on our weekly menu. It is working wonderfully. We are all more energetic.
Anyhow, we love shrimps. I do not make them too often. However, a couple of times a month with our pasta, zoodles (zucchini noodles).
Sometimes in sandwiches or taking a healthier road and serving them in the lettuce.
Also, if you never tried shrimp and grits you are missing out. Well, since doing low carb or ketogenic diet, I am trying to find substitutes such as cauliflower mash. I know it is not the same, but it tastes great.
I just love easy, healthy and fuzz-free meals? You can make them for parties, appetizers or as a salad topper. I mean possibilities are endless!
Well, I hope you like this recipe. If you make Cajun Shrimp Lettuce Wraps, please tag me on Instagram.

You may use chicken strips if you cannot eat shrimps. Equally delicious, but it takes just a bit more time to cook. You may use Store-bought Cajun seasoning.
Edamame with Sriracha Sea salt and Meyer Lemon is simple, delicious, and an easy snack, but I have served this number of times as a side dish as well. Lately, I’ve reached more and more for healthier option snacks, and edamame is really on top read more
This salad appeared on my blog many times, but always as a side. I’ve never blogged about it. I think it deserves its own, individual blog-post.
I mean, I was there, first to try everything before anyone ever did, and those beaten fruits and vegetables ended up in my kitchen. That’s why I always say, there is no ugly produce.
I will be quite honest with you; since working with fresh produce at the farmers market a very long time ago, nothing would bring me greater joy than seasonal produce.
We can use pretty much everything, even if it is a little beaten on the side.
I tried avocado a couple of years back and fell in love, I talked about it in a few posts before, but everything else I have been eating forever, and I must add it’s one amazingly delicious and refreshing salad.
My daughter and I, we both place an enormous bowl of this salad in front of us and with crunchy bread, we complete it up in a matter of minutes.
Yeah, that’s how much we love it.
Usually, I serve it when we grill, and family and friends gather. It goes perfectly with BBQ, trust me on that one.
With 20 plus years in my sleeve since I started eating and making this salad, I suppose it’s safe to say that you will not like it, but love this one.
If you are bringing a salad to work-lunch, do not add dressing, pack it in the little jar or container. I would suggest getting avocado just a tad harder if you are not planning to eat it right away.
Indeed, even on the darkest days, this delicious platter of Massaged Kale and Strawberry Salad could make you grin with a joy. I had incredible few days with my girls. Three or four hours passed by like it was 20 minutes, but that’s always the feeling when read more

If I don’t hear at least 15 times daily “I am making a smoothie“, it will rain axes.
Seriously, some commercials get stuck in my kids’ brains and they just keep repeating same sentences over and over again. It gets pretty annoying, to say the least.
I make smoothies probably 5 times a week, for a whole family. It’s something we made it as a routine. I really love that idea very much. It’s like raw vitamin packed glass of goodness.
Anyhow, I never used raw Aloe Vera before. Even though it is quite disgusting to scoop out a flesh or a gel that is inside of the leaf, I add a bit in our smoothies. It mask it well with other delicious and nutritious ingredients.
On the other hand, my husband could eat it raw. Just like that without any hesitation.
If you never tried raw Aloe Vera, well, it is slimy and bitter. Very bitter, but fantastic for your body. Sometimes, we do overlook the taste as well as the slimy flesh when we
You will be surprised!
Cut the aloe Vera leaf in sections, then with the sharp knife, carefully slice it in the middle, lengthwise.
Slice the flesh off with the knife or scoop it, if you wish and store in the lidded jar or airtight container. Keep it in the fridge and use as needed.
As a lover of Italian food, from casseroles, pasta, fried food to gelato, I wanted to create an exceptionally familiar dish, but somewhat different, and Easy Eggplant Parmesan was perfect. Something that we could pick up and deplete a pizza… Well, almost like a pizza. read more
