Shrimp Quenelles and the Weekly Menu #Movies&Munchies

Our Movies and Munchies group decided to revisit the film, Julie and Julia.  Count me in.  It's a good movie, it has a ton of food inspiration, and it encourages me to pull out my copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child.

A Favorite Italian Wine? How do I begin to choose? #ItalianFWT

Our challenge this month, given by Camilla of Culinary Cam, was to share our favorite Italian Wine.  Say what?!!  Am I really expected to choose just one Italian wine out of all the wonderful wines they have to offer?

I've decided to share a new Italian wine I enjoyed recently at a wine tasting.  This wine is from the Langhe region of Piedmont, a white wine in a land known for its reds.

Y is for Yellowfin Tuna

Yellowfin Tuna is more commonly called Ahi Tuna.  That delicious fish served raw or quickly seared, and the star of sushi and poke bowls in Asian cuisine.   I used it to make this quick, delicious salad perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Q is for Quesadilla

This quick and easy dinner is colorful and delicious.  Perfect for a busy weeknight or for a Fish Friday gathering to celebrate the weekend.  Flour Tortillas, stuffed with assorted colors of bell pepper, sweet onion, plump, juicy shrimp, held together with shredded Mexican blend cheese.

Shrimp Dip #SundayFunday

I had some leftover shrimp in my refrigerator.  There was not enough to make a meal or to put out as shrimp cocktail, so I made this dip as an appetizer for a family gathering.  It was a huge hit.

E is for Escargot

This is not a beautiful dish but it is delicious and much easier than trying to serve the snails in shells.  Serve them with a crusty baguette to soak up all the delicious buttery, herb, sauce.

Shrimp Cocktail and A Book Review

I decided to start off  Halloween Month by reading a Stephen King novel.  I haven't read King in years but my daughter, Amy, and I were discussing books one day as we hiked and she was surprised I had never read 11/22/63.  She thought I would enjoy it.
