Hello World!
It’s been a little while since I last wrote – life has been crazy and I tend to struggle in finding the perfect work/life balance. But it hasn’t stopped me from cooking yummy recipes! I recently had a craving for a fresh shrimp bowl… and improvised in the process. My man likes to make wraps for lunch, however, I have a gluten allergy, so I tend to find creative ways to make a delicious meal… sans gluten.
Check out my newest creation… Grilled shrimp rice bowl & Mint infused water
Get in my tummy!
Recipe:
Grilled Shrimp Rice Bowl
