We used both lobster and crab for a rich and…
Shrimp au Gratin for our date night this week we wanted something light, but especially delicious. We’ve also gotten requests for Lenten recipes.

Then, we mixed the leftovers together for a special lunch the next day served with mimosa’s made…

Patti and I have set one night a…
