You can mix the veggies up daily and it’s always so different.

Wow! This is so much better than it sounds, trust me! We used to get a tuna melt at a restaurant (they stopped carrying it) – it came with slaw that had a sesame taste to it… it was delicious, and it was HUGE, we would usually split it along with a salad.

Recipe: OVEN FRIED SHRIMP!
Do you ever get in a rut with what you make for dinner? Revert to the same few recipes? We both were in the mood for shrimp, and I’ve made many shrimp recipes, but none were sounding as good as fried shrimp sounded. I’m not a fryer.
