Seafood

I was going to post the recipe for my cream cheese scones I brought to work for treats day – but every single one got eaten before I was able to take a picture.  Promise to post it on Monday because they were so good! Yep, it’s nearly the middle of April and we are back to winter weather.  While usually 39 degrees isn’t too...

I am trying to be more of a seafood lover.  I love mussels, shrimp, and crab.  But salmon and other fish?  I look at it in the grocery store and say “not today!” But last week I got a piece of salmon in the discount seafood bin.  I know what you are thinking “they have a seafood bin like the meat bin?!”  Yep!  But I...

Bang bang shrimp is one of my favorite restaurant appetizers - its quick, easy and delicious!

I’ve mentioned it before, but I usually write recipes on my train ride home.  Yesterday morning before I left for work I almost pulled out a pork chop to defrost in the fridge during the day, but saw that I had shrimp and not knowing if I was going to be working late last night, knew they would thaw quick and I’d make something with...

I walked into work with another pile of documents to revise in my inbox.  It’s been a long week y’all, but we made it to Friday!  I was plowing through the stack of stuff, when my friend Jacky texted “do you want a lunch buddy?”  Um, yes!  I quickly asked “walking or food?” and she replied that she didn’t care which, so I chose food! ...

Even though these sous vide bites don’t look that appetizing – they are delish!  Light, fluffy.  I did have several people make them yesterday (who knew so many people had the silicone muffin cups!) and here are a couple tips so they cook in the 20 minutes – make sure that the water bath line is 3/4 up the side of the muffin cup –...

  Let’s go back in time for a bit, shall we?  Maybe 25 years ago, I ate TWO apple fritters on the way to work.  Then I would get a frappuccino with my co-workers when I got to work.  That would be 41 points right there and it wouldn’t even be 10:00 a.m.! Lunch would be Sbarro – it was right by my old office...

I wasn’t hungry for breakfast yesterday, so I didn’t eat.  Let’s just call it an intermittent fasting. 😀  Right before I went on my lunch time walk with my sister, I ate a banana and I was good to go.  It was so humid outside, we walked Macy’s.  Pretty day before the storms came through mid afternoon. This screen shot makes me laugh so hard. ...

When I got on the train platform, I realized I forgot my coffee in the car.  Dangit!  And I forgot to refill my train water bottle.  Then . . .I got my period.  On the way to work.  I know, TMI, but I wasn’t prepared at all.  I thought, no worries, I’ll just fix it when I get off the train in the train station...

Hello Friday!  Even though it was a short week, it’s nice that it’s Friday and the weather is going to be gorgeous in Chicagoland this weekend – highs in the low 70s – yes!! But first, let’s pick a winner to Nicole’s Cookbook Giveaway!   And the winner is . . . CLARE!  Congrats!  Shoot me your mailing address to mybizzykitchen@gmail.com and I’ll get it in...
