Check out this hardcore punk rock baby!  Doesn’t he look tough and up to no good?  If I saw him strolling down the street I’d probably cross to the other side.

Now, notice those cool shoes Gavin is wearing?  Well, Daddy has some to match!  Next, we need the “Big Kid” and “Little Kid” shirts and we’ll be all set.

During lent Chanin forces likes me to avoid red meat. ;-)  We both love seafood so it’s not a difficult thing to do.  Last Friday I decided to cook dinner and found a promising shrimp recipe on recipezaar.com.  The recipe is really simple to prepare and VERY tasty.  To go with the shrimp I grilled some veggies as well.

Grilled Lime Shrimp

Directions

  1. Mix together the first 8 ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Add shrimp; toss to coat.
  3. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to marinate. – We let it marinade for at least an hour.
  4. Thread shrimp on metal skewers; reserve marinade.
  5. Place skewered shrimp on grill over medium heat.
  6. Cook 3-7 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once and brushing with marinade occasionally.

Grilled Veggies

  • 2 zucchinis
  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 green pepper

Directions

  1. Slice along the long side of the zucchini and squash, slice red onion, slick green pepper into strips
  2. Grill veggies on medium-hot grill and brush with olive oil, lime juice, and salt/pepper mixture.  Cook until done.  We like ‘em a little “blackened.”
Enjoy!!
