Well this isn’t really an exact recipe per say, like with measurements and all that jazz. Frankly measuring somedays annoys me. I also have no idea where measuring cups or spoons are with our kitchen out of order in this renovation mess – but trust me – you can do this without measurements – just go with it. I’ve been craving pasta salad! OK so why make potato salad you say – well lets just say I don’t want to ruin my nice pots to boil water on the BBQ while we don’t have a stove – so I decided to give up on my pasta dreams and settle for…

Coconut Curried Shrimp on the BBQ with Cardamom Scented Rice
I have never attempted to make a Curried Shrimp Dish on the BBQ. But hey whether your “Glamping” this summer or just not wanting to heat up the house with the stove – I have to say it worked out pretty well.

Linguini Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Stay tuned friends. I have decided to go back to blogging. I’m hoping one day that something will transition to enable me to doing something with ‘doing what I love’ which is cooking, creating, inspiring. For now, I just aim to continue to create, share and journal my love of all things food and cooking. We are renovating our kitchen! Yes, I currently have no kitchen – so probably not the best of times to decide to start back up with my blog. Thankfully it’s summertime here in Alberta so the BBQ has been a lifesaver, but I cannot wait until this whole renovation project is finished – fingers crossed…
