Taco lovers – this one’s for you! These Cilantro Lime Shrimp Tacos are served in warm tortillas, filled with a crispy avocado lime slaw and fresh flavorful shrimp and topped with a creamy avocado lime dressing. These will take your Taco Tuesday to a whole other level. Warning: eating these tacos may make you feel like you are on a Mexican vacation. Time to whip up some margaritas!
To me, plain white rice is something that I eat only as an accompaniment to something else. It is never something that I am excited about, and it is most definitely never the best part of any meal. I don’t like serving anything that doesn’t add a good amount of flavor to a meal, and that is why I love this Habanero Lime Rice. This rice has both habaneros and jalapeños and it also has cilantro and lime juice. This is one side dish that is anything but bland, and if you aren’t careful, it may even outshine your main dish!
We had a group of people over for dinner a while back, and I didn’t know them very well. I went out and bought a pretty large selection of alcohol just because I wasn’t sure what they liked. Part of that alcohol purchase was some white wine. Now I am a wine drinker through and through, but I tend to drink red more often. These two bottles of Pinot Grigio have just been sitting around since then, so I decided to make good use of them. Today was a hot day – the kind of day when I want to just hang out outdoors with a nice adult beverage. I started brainstorming and decided to make a lemon lime sangria because I thought it would be super refreshing for the hot weather.
The sun is finally shining today! This past winter was so very cold and miserable, and so far this spring has been pretty gloomy and rainy. I am way past ready for summer to get here. Call me crazy, but I would rather have scorching hot summer days than any of the other crazy midwest weather we have been dealing with. It is sunny and warm outside today, so I am in the mood for some summertime food.
So, yesterday I posted a recipe for my street corn off the cob, and I was trying to think of a main dish to go with it. I had some chicken drumsticks that I needed to use and a bunch of limes so I came up with this honey lime chicken. I love chicken drumsticks because they are so affordable and so delicious at the same time. These drumsticks have a delicious sticky sweet glaze and a ton of flavor.
I feel like one of the most important things to find when you move to a new area is great Asian food of all types. It is just one of those things that when the craving hits, you need that great little restaurant to head to. Well, we recently moved to a new area, and we have not found that spot yet. So, I had to improvise. Let me tell you – this sweet chili chicken and noodle stir fry did not disappoint!
