Shrimp Primavera with Goat Cheese
This dish is one of my favorites. If you like goat cheese it will become one of yours as well. I was inspired to make this dish after trying a similar one made with chicken at a local restaurant. Serve with a nice crusty loaf of french bread, a garden salad, and a glass of your favorite red wine!
Soft Peanut Butter Cookies
These easy peanut butter cookies stay soft, have good flavor, and aren't too sweet. You won't make another recipe after this one!
Massaman Curry Short Ribs
This Massaman curry short ribs recipe has got to be one of my favorite dishes. Influenced by a Thai restaurant in Renton, WA, called Sing Tong Thai, I decided to make a version in the Instant Pot, where I know I can get fast and quality results. This recipe is fairly simple, and with the right ingredients, it's a dish that won't disappoint. Serve over a bed of garlic mashed potatoes or rice.
