I started c25k again and my feet are KILLING me. They’re really sore in front and it hurts to walk on them sometimes. Hopefully my feet get used to running again. I’ve been trying not to bake a lot of sweets either, but I might just have to break down and make this recipe for cake batter blondies that I found . I love almost anything with cake batter in it, especially ice cream.

You can bake or grill these shrimp. We ended up grilling them and there was a nice dipping sauce on the bottom of the tin foil that was left over. I ended up pouring that on the shrimp, but I wish I had a nice chunky piece of bread to dip the sauce into. They were really spicy too. I served these with some parmesan baked tomatoes, but like I said I wish that I had a piece of good bread with these.

I loved these crab cakes and I even used canned crab meat. They were on sale, so I decided why not? I can’t afford to buy fresh crab meat by the pound all the time. Wish I could though. The spicy Rémoulade‏ sauce went really well with these. I left out the capers, since I really dislike them.
