Bonus Recipe

So we just finished our shrimp salad dinner and I decided to post the recipe now since LK is sleeping and I am pumped about how yummy and simple it was. Thanks to Lane for the idea of making shrimp salad. Blackbeard's (over the bridge) in Corpus Christi has a good shrimp salad and he mentioned that which sparked the idea. I pretty much made up this recipe as I was fixing it so you can adjust the amounts to your pleasure. I think it took a whole 10 minutes.

3 cups boiled shrimp - chopped into bite-sized pieces (we buy the raw, peeled deveined Kirklands frozen brand and they are not expensive)
3/4 cup mayo -add more or less to your taste
3 green onions chopped
1 stalk finely chopped celery
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 tsp dried dill
2 tsp Tabasco
1 tsp garlic salt - I just shook some in, so not sure how much
Season to taste with season salt and black pepper.

Lane had a sandwich and I ate it on crackers. This would also be great with avocado chunks, but we didn't have any! I think this would be a real hit at a party served with crackers or baguette slices. Sorry no pictures:(

We have had such a wonderful weekend. The weather has been nice and we went to the park (greenway) as a family and walked on both Saturday and Sunday. I really enjoy getting out and walking with Lane and Lena Kate. It is a great time for us to have mini-getaways to just talk and spend time together..with the bonus of exercise. I would highly recommend a family walk several times a week as a way to reconnect with the ones you love. I find it highly rejuvenating.
