QUICK & Easy Garlic Shrimp

Another easy shrimp recipe. It's actually a Rachel Ray recipe that I changed up a bit (am I the only one that really does not find her that cute and bubbly, but actually a bit irritating), ANYway, She calls it her 4 minute spicy garlic blah blah recipe. It's not spicy, I doubled the red pepper and still nada, she is obviously a wuss, but it's good and easy and I was looking for a recipe with ingredients I already had. I decided too give peace a chance, and try one of her recipes.

You can find her original recipe here http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/4-minute-spicy-garlic-shrimp-recipe/index.html OR the better version below :)

This is good as an appetizer, or as a main dish over pasta.

HOLLA it's Challah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have never made this fantastic bread before and I am such a fan of the "no knead bread" recipes, that when I found this one, I had to try it. Ethan was supposed to attend a party at a friends house and this is where this Challah was supposed to go, but of course the child who never gets sick is under the weather so I am now stuck with this huge Challah loaf while on a low carb diet. Lovely! This beauty will be great for the rest of the men in my family though, it will be enjoyed sliced and toasted then spread with butter, jam, nutella etc, the rest will be sliced and used for the best french toast, because it is a fact that only THE best French toast is made with Challah. I added some cinnamon sugar to the top of this with slivered almonds, to be a little fancy shmancy but you don't have to.
