I'm convinced that every time my husband decides to adjust a recipe, he manages to figure out just what it needs. I'm not nearly as good at it! He began with a recipe for Crab & Shrimp Seafood Bisque and with his initial changes, it turned into our recipe for Crab & Shrimp Bisque that was quite good. Yesterday he made it again and now it's even better than before!

If you're looking for a tasty dinner that's easy to prepare, this may be what you're looking to find! We had made this a while ago and tried it again this past week - it's just as good as we remembered. The recipe is flexible with the marinade - you can marinade the shrimp for as little as 15 minutes, or you can let it marinade overnight for 8-12 hours. I hope you enjoy this easy-to-make dinner! It's based on a recipe called 20 Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp - we felt it was too dry as described so we increased the marinade ingredients and that worked perfectly.
I love Broccoli Cheese Soup, and I remember finding this recipe and we both flipped over it! Picture the flavors of broccoli cheese soup stuffed into a chicken breast, and there's your perfect dinner - Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast! As written, this was a 4.94-star recipe from 280 votes. The first time I made it, I followed exactly what the recipe said and it was really good. The next time we made a few adjustments (using a sharp cheddar instead of a mild cheddar, and using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika) and we thought it was great! If you're looking for a tasty main course that's easy to make, give this a try. I hope you enjoy it!

If you're looking for a tasty dinner that's similar to pulled pork in consistency, this may be the meal for you! I went digging through my collection of recipes and came across this one for Cuban Style Roast Pork that you make in the crockpot (I love slow cooker meals). My note on the recipe was that it turned out extremely tender and had an amazing citrus flavor. I remember this one well - it's excellent! I don't know why I haven't made it again until today. I hope you enjoy it!

My husband and I are always looking for a good restaurant. I get tired of going to the same places repeatedly, so I started looking for something different. Let me tell you, I was very happy with Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza!
It's that time again, Georgefest! Eustis, Florida is celebrating George Washington's birthday during a week-long celebration. This is the 121st annual celebration, and it takes place in Lake County from February 18, 2023 - February 26, 2023, in downtown Eustis at 250 Ferran Park Drive. Here are some of the main events happening each day (you can see more by visiting the Georgefest website and clicking on Events):
I've been craving Chicken Noodle Soup and my husband came up with a recipe that's really tasty and easy to make, thanks to using a cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store! It stores just fine in the refrigerator as long as you keep the cooked noodles separate from the soup. We've followed many recipes in the past and haven't been nearly as happy as we were with this one. I hope you enjoy it too!
Here's what's happening this week in Lake County, Florida!. Neil Diamond Tribute Performance by Dave De Luca: from 4:00 - 5:00 pm at the Fruitland Park Library (604 W. Berckman Street), there will be a free concert. Seating is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
I love pot roasts and stews. I can eat them all year long, but I especially like them in the winter. This one is easy to make and it's really tasty! I adapted this from my Oven Slow-Cooked Pot Roast recipe and we were just as happy with it cooked in the crockpot as we were with it cooked in the oven. I hope you enjoy it too!
The next item we're making for our Super Bowl Sunday celebration is Guacamole. This is another highly rated recipe (4.98-star from 378 votes when I last checked) and it's out of this world! I never realized how easy it was to make Guacamole. When selecting avocados, make sure they are ripe but not overly soft or mushy. Press on one end of the avocado and you're looking for ones that are firm but still have some give in them. I hope you enjoy this - we've already sampled some of this batch!
We're in the process of getting food ready for our Super Bowl party. We dug through our collection of recipes and came across a recipe for Queso Dip that we've made before. When I just looked, it was rated as a 4.87-star recipe from 99 votes. Here's our version of the Queso Dip that we'll be serving on Super Bowl Sunday.
My husband and I are still finalizing our plans for Valentine's Day. Some places are fully booked but many still have availability. With Valentine's Day falling on a Tuesday this year, it could be that people are celebrating it either the weekend before or the weekend after. It's always a good idea to find a place that takes reservations, but not all do. Here are some options for where to celebrate on Valentine's Day or nearby dates in Lake County, Florida:
Each weekend, I’ve been trying out a new breakfast casserole. Here’s one of our recent finds that we’ve enjoyed. I love a casserole you can bake in the oven and then everyone can sit around and enjoy it together. This one was delicious! I love the option of being able to include different types of meats in it. The original recipe for Hash Brown Casserole didn’t seem cheesy enough, so I adjusted the cheese in the recipe. It was an almost five-star recipe, so that told me it was worth trying. I hope you enjoy it!
It's Mardi Gras in downtown Leesburg, it's Super Bowl Sunday, and it's the weekend before Valentine's Day. Do you have any plans for this weekend? Lake County, Florida has a bunch of options for you!
For me, Beef Stroganoff is one of my wintertime favorite meals - true comfort food in my opinion. The first few times I made this, I did it on the stovetop in a large skillet or Dutch oven. I've also made it in my Instant Pot and in the Crockpot (the links will take you to the recipes showing how you can do this). My original recipe was from the Creme De La Crumb website and it was nearly a 5-star recipe, which is what I always try to find. The author talks about different cuts of meat you can use in the recipe, plus if you do a Google search, you'll find plenty of options exist for what works. I hope you enjoy Beef Stroganoff!
