Orange Spicy Shrimp...EASY & DROP DEAD DELISH!!!

I have made these crustaceans many times, many different ways... scampi, marinara, cream sauce.... but NEVER has the recipe been this easy and delicious. I couldn't believe it!! My expectations were not that high because there are like 4 ingredients in here but I guess it goes to show that less is more!! If you like shrimp and spicy food then print this sucker and have a restaurant quality meal in about 10 minutes. I put my shrimp over brown rice, but you can do whatever your little hears desire. This would be delicious on it's own as an appetizer. Ingredients * (Frozen) Raw Shrimp // I’m using the 26-30 per pound size and I’ll be cooking about 2 dozen of them. These shrimp have been de-veined already. This is a good feature…kind of like cruise control. * Good quality Orange Juice // We’ll need 3/4 cup today. Drink the leftovers…it’s cold and flu season. * 2-4 Cloves of Garlic // This depends on how much you hate vampires. I happen to really hate them. * 3 Tablespoons Salted

The Amazing "No Knead Bread"

I can't believe I have not posted this amazing recipe yet. I was at a friends house yesterday and we were mulling over what we will be making for Christmas. She said the only thing she will buy "pre made" is the bread which I then informed that she was not because I have the easiest bread recipe which you DON'T HAVE TO KNEAD (for those of you that don't know about bread making the key for most recipes is the endless kneading that will leave you trembling in pain afterward). This recipe is adapted from the famous Sullivan Street Bakery. The hardest part is waiting for it to rise literally that's it... you dump ingredients mix until they combine and then wait and bake..... and OH LAWD you will be high-fiving yourself because once you see what comes out of that oven you will be in heaven!! Everyone that tries this is amazed at the flavor and appearance of this rustic bread. Go along now make the damn thing and thank me for passing this on. Also... you can add w

Linzer Tart Cookies!!

I haven't posted anything in so long and I HAVE been making stuff and taking pictures but just haven't posted, my apologies. ANYway, yesterday my grandparent's were coming over and I wanted to bake something they can have with coffee and as I reached for my apron I thought of Heather who gifted me the adorable pink beauty and then I thought of one of her favorite cookies, and so this is how I ended up making the linzer tart. Everyone was really enjoying them too. You can use any flavor Jam in the center, we just happen to be big fans of the Raspberry Preserve. *The cookies are pictured on the Apron because it is just too cute!! ¼ cup + 2 Tbs. butter, softened ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 large
