Spicy Shrimp Noodle Soup….some of the tastiest ingredients in one bowl and even better, it was from Cooking Light Magazine which always has some of my favorite recipes. As many of you know, Cooking Light is a part of a group of magazines featured on a website called myrecipes.com. I get daily recipe emails from …
Every now and then you need a simple recipe…One that is not only delicious, but easy enough to make on a weeknight and even better, kid friendly! As some of you know, I am not only a part-time personal chef for a local family but also a part-time nanny to their two adorable toddlers, Amelia …
