Speedy Seafood Supper

There are so many things to love about this recipe.  First, as the title gives away, it is quick to make.  This is simple, and comes together almost like a stir fry does…you just keep adding ingredients to a pan, while stirring, and in moments, you’re rewarded with a glamorous feast.  Secondly, this tastes amazing!

In times of crisis, I find great comfort in retreating to the kitchen, busying myself with time consuming yet simple tasks.  There is something to be said about focusing all of your attention to the task at hand, and sinking your concentrated efforts on something as simple as making meatballs.  A most uncomplicated task, but […]
