Savory Sundays: Citrus-Butter Shrimp Toss

Me playing my harp at a senior assisted living center.

Is it seriously Sunday already?? Really?! I just can’t accept this. The other day it was FRIDAY! As in the start of my weekend. Yesterday was spent getting my business cards ready and volunteering an hour of my time to play the harp at a local senior assisted living center (which was awesome btw, but my day was seriously spent doing that and homework. And baking/writing yesterday’s Sweet Saturday post) And now the calendar is telling me that all of a sudden I have school tomorrow? This is completely unacceptable. Someone really needs to re-write the damned calendar to give us at LEAST one more day in the weekend. At least.

I had such a blast volunteering my time yesterday, and I can’t wait to go back to play for them on Mother’s Day

But, since that’s not going to happen, no matter how much I beg (maybe I’m not talking to the right people? hmm…) I guess going to the beach with friends will have to make up for it all.

On the off chance that you guys are upset about it being Sunday already, I made you a delicious meal to take your mind off the entire thing. How does this magical meal do this you ask? Simple. It’s flavor is so delicious it completely takes your mind off everything except for how awesome this meal is. And by awesome, I mean seriously awesome!

If you don’t believe me, you’ll just have to make it yourself. And when you do, let me know if it’s a dish you’re going to make over and over again, because I know I am!

I really hope that you all are enjoying the rest of your weekend before we all get back to the “awesomeness” (yay sarcasm! hehe) that is the work week!

Panko-Crusted Pork with Plum Sauce

I absolutely love this recipe. It is so simple and it is so delicious! The first time I had this was in our old house when Erin came to visit. She made this for mom, dad, and I and I was amazed then. I hadn’t had it since until when I was at Erin’s house and she helped me make it one night for dinner. It hit the spot that night

I’m personally not a huge fan of Plum sauce, so if you’re like me, don’t worry! This tastes great without the Plum sauce (trust me, I tested it out LOL). However, if you really like Plum Sauce, but it’s a busy night, just substitute jarred plum sauce with some shaved ginger.

Crunchy Whole-Grain Chicken Bites

This recipe is excellent for a hot summer day, and so much healthier than making frozen chicken nuggets! I made this a lot last summer for my mom and paired it with Watermelon balls. The watermelon and chicken bites complement each other so nicely, and if you aren’t feeling the slaw that is part of the recipe, just make the dressing for it (skip the veggies) and you have one fantastic dipping sauce for your chicken bites!

I hope you will decide to try this out this summer, I know you (and even your little ones) will just love it!
