Tequila Shrimp
Tequila and shrimp just seem to go together, whether as appetizers or part of a main course taco bar. They are super quick to make. They still taste really nice if you leave the Tequila out when serving to the kids.
Turkey Cubano Sandwich
It’s really quite impossible to tell when the Cubano Sandwich (grilled meat and cheese), was created, but as people sailed between Cuba, Tampa and Key West culture and ideas were shared. It was a common lunch for Cubans; so, when they relocated to work in the …
Sloppy Joe’s
This is a southwestern take on Sloppy Joe’s, still spicy but not the traditional style. The girls (grandchildren) prefer less spice, so we make two batches, one for the adults and one for the kids (recipes below). Invite some friends over and have some fun.
Rao’s
Our favorite bottled pasta sauce, hands down! I read an interesting article about Rao’s in Vanity Fair, Oct 10, 2016 and we were delighted when the local Italian Market started selling jars of their pasta sauces this fall. This is our “go to” fast food!

Roasted Vegetables
Year Round it doesn’t get much easier than roasting vegetables, whether it’s in the oven or on the grill. Use a combination of any vegetables you like, add some herbs and a squeeze of lemon at the end!
Hash Brown Bake
This Hash Brown Bake is surprisingly light, flavorful and Gluten Free! It’s a really easy dish for a group brunch, or a light meal with a side salad.
