some additions

If you read in google reader, you may not have noticed yet, but I added a few TABS to the top of my blog.  Right now I just have "Home", "About Me", and "Recipes."  Maybe as the blog/life progresses I will have more tabs, but these were just the only ones that made sense right now.  I had a fun time putting the "About Me" page together and chronicling how we got to where we are today.  Maybe reading it you will learn something new about me!  A friend asked me to make a recipes page after my new cookbook post and in doing so, I realized that I haven't blogged about nearly as many recipes as I thought I had.  I'll get better at it.... starting now.  

This week we made these shrimp (the 2nd time I've used this recipe) and both times we served it over a salad.  It would be great with some sort of black bean/corn salad as well (that's what the original recipe was served with).

Chile Powder Grilled Shrimp
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp chile powder
1 tsp ancho chile powder
1/4 tsp chipotle chile powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 garlic powder
1 lb. shrimp

Mix all spices together & sprinkle over the shrimp.  Grill in grill basket until cooked.

We served over a spring mix salad, with fresh tomatoes from a friend's garden, grilled fresh squash from same friend's garden, other various salad toppings, balsamic vinegar, and delicious Olive Oil from our trip to Spain!  Ben claimed it is the best meal we have had in a long time.  I agreed... ENJOY!

Erin, I always read your blog every time I read Natalies. Congrats on the new job!! I enjoyed the "about me tabs". It's amazing how much we are in the things we like. I also notice things that Natalie often posts are so much like me too. I wish I could spend more time with all of my Mobile cousins. Hope to see you soon, if not before then at Rachel's wedding.
Love always,
Cindy
