Blackened Seafood & Chorizo Pasta

It’s been a really, really, long time since I made pasta-I had to double check when was the last time I made it (10 months ago!).  The weather’s been warm so I’ve been avoiding cooking for quite some time-hence why I haven’t posted anything lately.  Summers close to being over and I’m already dreading it….there’s just so much more I want to do!

Paella

I was introduced to seafood at a very young age.  My mom loved cooking with shrimp & at Filipino gatherings we would eat deep fried squid.  There was a lot more seafood-type dishes, but I never really questioned what it was.  I never even thought twice about eating it!  So it was no surprise that this recipe would pique my interest…and even though it does take some time & effort, it’s well worth it.  I truly have a warm feelings about paella-there is something so special & comforting about it.

Shrimp Pasta with Oven Dried Tomatoes & Fiddleheads

In a spur of a moment decision, Gavin and I decided to host our first mother’s day luncheon.  I think it went pretty well but wish we had a bigger house to entertain people.  Oh well.  We made do with what we had and had the perfect amount of food leftover!
