Love shrimp and veggies? My family is wild about shrimp and usually we make shrimp with pasta, but I felt it was time to try it another way. So I pulled out my beloved Instant Pot and made brown rice while I cooked shrimp in my air fryer and sauteed veggies. Raw shrimp cooks really quickly in the ...
If you found this post, it means your child was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. First of all, I'm sorry. It's a big blow when any person is diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, but this is your child and it's just awful news to get. Mourn it. Get upset. Cry. Throw something. It's not fair. It SUCKS. ...
If you love Israel or Middle Eastern food, chances are you're already a fan of Za'atar (you might spell it Zaatar) - which is a spice blend containing toasted sesame seeds, thyme, marjoram, coriander, oregano. Last week I picked up Trader Joe's Za'atar Seasoning Blend and loved it. I had some ...
