If you like Mojitos you will like this marinade for shrimp. Just marinade the shrimp for 15 minutes and roast them in the oven at 400 degrees for 6 minutes. These would probably taste better on a charcoal grill. Although, roasting is also great for shrimp.
I love having the week off! It gives me the opportunity to try new recipes. So far I've tried 2 new cookie recipes this week, one which I still have to post. I also tried this recipe. I'm not sure what to think of this recipe yet. I still prefer my shrimp with Cajun seasoning and a little spray butter. Tonight we are checking out a new pizza place in town called the Spicy Pie. Sorry, did not get the time to try the Shrimp Tacos. Maybe tomorrow for lunch!

Ben planted some sunflowers at the beginning of summer this year. This is the only one that turned out. The other 2 sunflowers that he planted got ripped up by the strong wind storm we had one summer's eve.
My apple tree is almost ready to be picked. I tasted one of them on Monday and it was pretty sweet, but still had a tart taste to it. I'm dying to make some apple crisp. That is my favorite Fallish type desert. I think I've given up on making pies. Whenever I make them there is this big gap in the middle of the apples and pie crust after it gets done cooking. I think I'm putting plenty of apples in the pie too. So I have no idea why I'm getting that gap?? Any ideas Fall baking is so much fun! Soup even sounds better. 😉
