Where I want to Be

Its been a busy couple of weeks, and it won't be slowing down until after the wedding but I've been thinking hard about how much I really love my visits home.  These visits have increased since I got engaged and will hopefully be restful in the month to come. While I'm working hard at finishing up my undergrad work, its nice to look at the pictures to remember the calm that I love about the ocean and dream about my trips to the beach in the near future!

I'll hopefully be back with some more of my adventures in the kitchen and I have some organizing posts that I want to do soon, but have a wonderful weekend!

Lowcountry Goodbye

I am preparing to say goodbye to the Lowcountry for a little bit, so it was only fitting to make shrimp and grits with my dad, our signature dish to make together. I can't believe how much I missed local shrimp. They are so tasty and plump! Our recipe is pretty simple- onions and bell peppers sauteed in olive oil, then add the shrimp to the mixture.  Make grits (preferably stone-ground) and top them with the shrimp mixture. And enjoy! It hardly needs salt because of the flavorful olive oil and is filling. If you don't have a palate for grits, it tastes equally good over rice! Try it this weekend for me :)
