Learn how to marinate shrimp for grilling with this easy marinade that makes your shrimp so yummy you don't even need cocktail sauce. Don't let the cayenne pepper scare you — you don't even taste it. My young kids love it. It is also a big hit with company and easy to prepare. I make this with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric grill if the weather is not good for outdoor grilling. Try it with a salad, baked potato, and garlic bread.

Orange Cake
My mom gave me this orange cake recipe, and I can't make it often because I would eat the whole thing. This is the best cake I have ever tasted. I hope it lasts more than a day at your house!
Philly Fluff Cake
This cake is very popular in the East Coast. Natale's Bakery in New Jersey is famous for this cake. I made a small cake but this recipe can be easily doubled and baked in a 12 cup tube or Bundt pan. The powdered sugar is a must on this cake.
Creamy Cod and Potato Gratin
I got a Food Wish for a classic creamed cod recently (which, by the way, was one of my childhood favorites), but instead of doing the traditional version, I decided I'd try to make it a little bit fancier and refined and present basically all the same ingredients, but in an individual-sized, beautifully browned and bubbling, gratin form. Not to spoil the ending, but I was very happy with how this came out!
