Life Through My Eyes
Bang Bang Shrimp. Need I say more? I LOVE the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer at Bonefish Grill. Actually, it’s pretty much the only thing I get when I go there… the appetizer portion is a great entree size for me! I’ve been wanting to make this at home for a while now, and this afternoon …
I made this for the first time, back on Thanksgiving Day [2012]. I’ve made them several time since, and they are one of my favorite dessert bars for sure. They are easy to make, absolutely delicious, and for sure satisfy your sweet tooth! What I used: 9 graham crackers, crushed into crumbs (or an equivalent …
Tonight, for dinner, I made stuffed Pizza Rolls. Started off by making the pizza dough in the afternoon. You can, of course, just use store-bought pizza dough. I do that plenty of times when I’m making Pizza at home. I just decided to make this on a moment’s whim and had none at home to …
These Spinach and Cheese Swirls are a great and quick, appetizer or snack! You will need:  1 sheet of [Pepperidge Farm] Puff Pastry  1 egg  1 tablespoon of water  1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese  1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese  1/8 teaspoon garlic powder  1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and …
Imagine living in a world of peace and humanity. One where kids can freely run around outside without their parents worrying. One where you don’t have to think twice about whether that loved one of yours that just left home… whether they’ll make it home safe and sound. One where you don’t get that feeling …
This is probably one of my favorite things to make. It’s also what I intended to make on the day I posted about my Roasted Chicken instead [which was equally delicious]. I slow cook it in a pot over extremely low heat over a period of three to four hours… and it’s scrumptious. So tender, …
Happy Birthday Faraz! We sure are getting to the age where I don’t even want to say the age anymore! For Faraz’s [my brother] birthday today, I narrowed down the dessert to something either to do with chocolate chip cookies or Oreos relatively quickly because those are his favorite [cookies]. Ultimately, Oreos won over simply …
I believe I was around the age of 6. I had to be younger than the age of seven because we moved by then. We had just left a family party, when suddenly we had to turn around and go back because my grandfather had forgotten something. I guess now would be a good time …
It was just my parents and I home for dinner tonight, so shrimp was the perfect thing to work with. Today, I had extra large shrimp (26-30 count) at home. A couple hours ahead of time, I marinated my shrimp with: black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, rosemary leaves, basil leaves, and lemon juice. …
The original plan yesterday, was to make the whole chicken(s) like I normally do: I cook on the stove-top over low heat over a period of three to four hours [like the one pictured here]. I’m working on writing up how I make that one too [and hopefully the spinach-cheese swirls soon as well]! That …
