Summer Sweet Corn Chowder
Harvest is near. Driving home every day we’re surrounded by cornfields and bean fields. I can see them starting to change. Corn stalks turning brown. Bean leaves yellowing after a summer of repeated rain and midwestern sun beating down. And my heart leaps a little bit because it means my favorite season is approaching. One of my favorite things about fall is food. Okay, I lied. I like food in every season. But I LOVE fall food. Crockpots. Instapots. Chili simmering on the stove. Football season food. The smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. I’m drooling just typing this. With summer is drawing to a close,…

Garlic Butter Shrimp “Linguini” With Zoodles
That day-after-Christmas food hangover… you know the one. Too much cheese. Too many crackers. Pie up to your eyeballs. Potato casserole. Spiked egg nog. All of the goodies. Back on track today. With a fridge full of leftovers. I opened my fridge, overwhelmed with what was left, and just wanted something light & simple. So I grabbed the leftover shrimp from the shrimp cocktail. Some veggies from the veggie tray. The zucchini that never got roasted as planned, and some Parmesan cheese from the au gratin potatoes. 5 minutes later- a light, healthy lunch happened. And it happened to be delicious! Low carb. Light. Full of protein & veggies. Enjoy!…
