A Culinary Adventure

 Adventure: a risky undertaking of unknown outcome

I've been on a new adventure lately.

Not a 'travel to distant lands' kind of adventure.

No, I've just ventured back into my kitchen and started to try new recipes.

In fact, in order to chase gluten, dairy and processed sugar from our lives,

I've had to venture into unknown territory.

New ingredients.

More time - much more time - chopping and measuring.

I've left the familiar, quick old stand-by cuisine

and am trying lots of new dishes.

When you send me into the kitchen to take cooking risks, 

you never know what will come back out of the kitchen with me.

Here's a recent success story!

This shrimp dish is one of my new favorite things!

It is zesty, cooks up in one pot and oh, so yummy...

My sister-in-law shared the recipe with me.

It's a go-to favorite of hers.

{I can't source it further than that...I got a photo of a well used magazine page when I asked her for the recipe!}

Her husband and high-school boys love it too!

My husband and I shared it on the evening of our anniversary, so it's going into my recipe book as

"Zesty Anniversary Shrimp"
