  1. The lady cows and I got together, put our heads together, and gave this a unanimous 10 star applause! Oh so easy, oh so good, and oh so fresh! Full of goodness, a real slice of life! I followed this exactly, with no tidbit left behind. I used medium sized shells, and 21-40's shrimpers. Now, where is that dang fork?
     
  2. This was delicious! We loved it. My little girl gave this 5 stars and said "It's great!" so I'll be making this again. Unfortunately, I had to leave out the peppers and celery because my little girl won't touch anything with those in there. Personally, I think it would be better with them but I have to do what I have to do to make everyone happy. Thanks, GailAnn!
     
  3. This is another winner from gailanng! I used small pasta shells and salad-size shrimp. The vinaigrette was mild, yet tasty and the vegetables gave it a nice crunch. This is also very easy to put together, so I will be making this again. Made for Everyday's a Holiday Tag Game.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
