Cooking Barefoot
Posted on 5:11 AM by follow me
I've been in quite a cooking mood lately. Sadly, this doesn't jive well with my desire to live a healthier lifestyle. It could if I didn't love butter and cream so much. And chocolate. And pie. And pasta. And bread. And cheese.
Love her. Now I'm trying to decide which of these 2 cookbooks to get as a gift for a fall wedding we are attending. For you other Contessa Wannabes, which one would you choose? Well, now I seem to have made myself ravenous so I'm off to make blueberry muffins. I'll save one for you! 
I own all of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and I've been striving to test a new recipe of hers every week. My pick for this week is her Linguine with Shrimp Scampi from the Family Style cookbook. It's not nearly as heavy as you might think, actually quite light tasting and perfect for a summer meal on the patio. You can find the recipe here. It calls for fresh shrimp in the recipe but I actually used frozen, thawed shrimp. It was amazing. Sweet Hubby, who it must be said is not a huge pasta guy, had seconds.
