Grilling is a great way to quickly and easily cook many foods. We are still in the height of grilling season, and I am enjoying every minute.  I love to grill meats, veggies, and even fruit!

Seafood is a great candidate for grilling as well. Shrimp is so easy to prepare and cook, it is definitely one of my go-to ingredients, especially on busy weekdays.

Not very long ago, I discovered Sriracha sauce. I don’t know what took me so long to try it! We had a bottle of it in our house for ages, and my husband used it quite frequently, but I just never even really considered that I might like it.

A few months ago, I was working on a recipe for Pumpkin Pasta with Bacon, and I needed something to spice it up just a little. My husband suggested the Sriracha sauce, so I tried it and loved it, and now I am a little obsessed with it!

      My husband has been using Sriracha for a long time, too! I only recently came on board that wagon and I am wondering what took me so long! 🙂 Thanks, Sandra!
