Coconut Curry Shrimp Recipe:
www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/claire-robinson/coconut-curry-shrimp-recipe/index.html

I altered 2 things from the above recipe:
I used Light Coconut Milk because that is what we had and I used the juice from 1/2 Lime, since we love the Lime flavor so I just went for it.




Garlic Spinach & Tomatoes Recipe:
In a hot pan add 1 tbsp EVOO, 1/2 cup of chopped Red Onion, & 1 pint of Cherry Tomatoes and cover.  Let cook for 10 minutes, stirring a couple times in the midst of that.  Once Tomatoes burst add salt/ pepper, red pepper flake, and 4 cloves of Garlic, sliced.  Sautee for a couple minutes on lower heat so the Garlic doesn't burn.  Add 10 oz Baby Spinach and cover again and turn off heat and allow the Spinach to wilt. Once wilted, stir ingredients together and serve!
