Hi-ho! It’s Friday Faves!

My husband and I are full-steam-ahead on grilling on the deck while the sun sets and the evening breeze finally cools off the day. This week I found some amazing U.S. harvested pink shrimp at Costco that immediately had me planning on making my garlicky grilled shrimp. My man had already taken a ribeye steak from the freezer so we threw that on the barbie too. Naturally, grilled corn was part of the plate with a simple caprese pasta salad on the side. Again. I can’t stop making it! But then, it’s so good, why would I??
