Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Marinade

We love, love, love Siracha in this house and use it as a compliment to almost every dish. This recipe is so good, and the best part about it is that the marinade can be made to your liking. I honestly just eyeball the ingredients and put it in a freezer bag for a couple hours. I then soak the skewers and put the shrimp on the skewers (through the body and tail to make sure they stay on the skewer) and cook the shrimp about 1-2 minutes on each side over high heat or just until they turn pink.

1 pound frozen shrimp with tails on (thawed)
1 ziplock bag
4 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of lime juice
5 tablespoons siracha
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons of vinegar

Combine ingredients in a freezer bag in fridge for two hours. Cook shrimp over high heat. Either serve over rice or on corn tortillas, cheese, cabbage and salsa verde to make tacos.

Egg Casserole : The BEST RECIPE EVER!

I had this recipe at a shower recently, and I must admit this egg casserole is awesome! The mixture is so moist and not dry like other casseroles. As you can see, it is not the healthiest of casseroles, either.... probably why it tastes so darn good!

Egg and Cheese Casserole

1 stick of butter

6 eggs

1 lb. Jack cheese

1 lb. cottage cheese

1 c. Bisquick

1 c. milk

1-2 teaspoons of Lawry's seasoning salt (less if using salted butter or cheddar cheese)

optional: chopped sausage

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put the stick of butter in a 9X13 pan and melt butter in the oven. In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheeses, Bisquick, milk, and seasoning salt. Grease the pan with the butter and pour extra butter into the egg mixture. Optional: add sausage to egg mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes (sometimes one hour to fully cook).
