Pesto Shrimp Scampi

 I had so much fun photographing these food pics and trust me it tasted as good as it looked.
Like I said my brother is getting pretty handy in the kitchen and its crazy how the roles have switched! Back when we were younger and I would diddle daddle in the kitchen he was my sous chef and now I'm the side kick...go figure LOL.

Don't be overwhelmed with the amount of ingredients just use what you have and have fun in the kitchen, use our general recipe as the structure to your own personal tastes!

Quinoa Kale Salad

Hello all!
It's summer break and I've been obsessed with quinoa and kale!
Here's a super easy salad with minimal cooking, perfect for those hot summer days.

Filling Summer Salads

Cooks faster than rice and has WAY more protein per a serving

Ingredients:
- 5 cups torn and washed kale
- 1 3/4 cups of cooked quinoa
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 2 1/2 tbs balsamic vinaigrette
- 1/2 diced tomatoes
- handful of salted roasted sunflower seeds      
- salt and pepper to taste
** Serves about 4

Curly Kale my latest obsession!

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large salad bowl.
 ** Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients, honestly I see the quinoa and kale as the foundation of the salad. The heat from the cooked quinoa softens the curly kale which makes it easier to eat and digest. For those that are new to eating kale and think that kale is the dinosaur of salad lettuce, it really is delicious and I encourage all of you to try it! Play around with different add-ins and dressings. If you feel like adding some chickpeas, chopped fruit, or a different dressing go for it. Bottom line: Use what you have and have fun with it.

Take care my lovelies and enjoy summer!
