This weekend is all about the buddy reads!

Whatโ€™s Cooking

On Thursday we made a new recipe from Half-Baked Harvest. This Spicy Garlic Lemon Butter Shrimp with Parmesan Corn Polenta was beyond delicious and Web and I devoured it. I did make one adjustment and switch out the water for chicken broth while making the polenta to add more flavor.


Tonight is taco night and itโ€™s more from Half-Baked Harvest with Crockpot Chicken Tinga Tacos and Sheet Pan Chipotle Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Mango Salsa.
