Loaded Stuffed Potato
Happy Monday! We have been staying at home for almost 3 months now. School is finally out so the homeschooling portion is over for now. I haven’t really been cooking that much during this time.

National Shrimp Scampi Day
Having an allergy to seafood has played a large role in my life. My mother figured it out when I was a toddler. However, my family was a regular seafood-eating bunch so I found reasons to get out of the house on Fridays. I had not interest in eating most types of seafood — although I was jealous of the hush puppies and fries at the local fast food seafood joint! But… I did like shrimp. I didn’t eat if often but I did eat it. Probably dodged a few bullets in my youth… Now I steer clear. Everyone else in the house eats seafood but they know that I…
