Gluten-Free Shrimp Curry & Rice Noodle Soup is a delicious and nutritious family meal that's easy and quick to put together
So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted but life has been so busy. I just don’t seem to have enough time in the day to do everything I would like to, including cooking. I’ve been trying to figure out how did our parents do it and then it goes back to the basic, 1 stayed home to watch the kids and do the house work.
I see these shows on cable and just think to myself, how unrealistic to our world that we live in compared to theirs. These people do not cook, do laundry, go to work, come home at 6 or 7, and start all over the next week. And if they do, someone needs to let me know the secret.
I always try to cook when I’m feeling a little overwhelm, always seemed to put me in a better mood. So this past weekend I decided I would make a shrimp dish, Jeffrey (my partner) loves shrimp and they are quick and easy to cook but we have had such a terrible time finding shrimp that don’t taste like they have been bleached. I’m starting to lose faith with the “fresh seafood” vs “frozen.
