What to do with extra shrimp I didn't use for the gumbo? Searched my digital recipes and landed on Shrimp Quesadilas! Pepper jack cheese, toasted red peppers and cilantro in there with the shrimp. So dang good! #julieshomebistro #seafoodlover #usewhatyouhave (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cptf7MVp3Ui/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shrimp and sausage gumbo! Took a recipe from a creole class @malia_ds and I took plus some research to ammend it. So many delightful aromas as it simmered down. Squeezed my cook time and sooooo wish I'd spent 20min more cooking my roux. Instead I had to add more roux (flour and butter) to get the thick stew-like consistency I wanted. How did this recipe want "4-5 lbs of shrimp"? I put in 1lb. Saved a lb to add to the leftovers. #julieshomebistro #comfortfood #creolecooking (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpmJ9aUugoy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WOW. WOW. WOW. Chicken Cassoulet with sausage in the Instant Pot. Usually a 2-3 day cook, the pressure cooking reduces it to about 1.5 hours. Crazy flavors in here! Will make this again. #julieshomebistro #newrecipe #comfortfood #classicmeal #instantpotrecipes #cuisineathome (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpbm6f6rnFa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another case of the missing gadget - my squeeze bottle this time. Did my best to get the baja sauce on these fish tacos wit a spoon. I'm sure I put it "out of the way where I'll find it when I need it". On the positive side, I got to try out my taco holder! #julieshomebistro #seafoodlover (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOwMkSra1j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Smoked country style pork ribs today! I love that I can get a good smoke ring and flavor with shorter time investment than baby backs. Also more meat for the $$$. Bleu cheese potatoes and a caesar salad complete the meal. #julieshomebistro #smokedmeat #meatatarian (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8oX6ZrT3r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ricky picked up some pork tamales for us at Granny's Tamales and I added a small BATS as a side. Delightful! #julieshomebistro #neededtheassist (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co6UHqorsAS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a great experience! An intimate setting with professional staff. The meal was cleverly planned to compliment the Abeje wine offerings - which were delicious! The quail was perfectly done and my first time having poultry and waffle! We both loved our 2nd courses which were beautiful and balanced. The dessert put me over the top - I am stuffed! Very happy to have this dining option within 20min of our home. Thank you @dix_kix for arranging the evening...love you so much! #anniversarydinner (at Abeja Winery and Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1KgOSum0l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Three types of wings for halftime. From left to right: parmesan garlic, margarita brined, and @bobbyflay Adobe-seasoned (which is a required wing for me). Delish! #julieshomebistro #superbowllvii (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/ColdKBxpKNK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Venison burger night! It is the star, so no side required. Also enjoying some delish syrah. #julieshomebistro #wildgame (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CogZlxTLW-Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I put too many tomatoes on my bbq chicken tortila pizzas and that released too much water and ruined my crispy crusts 😭. This was the first type of alternative pizza I ever made back in 2009, I think. Lime juice and balsamic vinegar added to the bbq sauce gives it a delishious tang. #julieshomebistro #healthyfood #nationalpizzaday (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cod3iV8rIzN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bought these gluten free spinach and cheese ravioli without much expectation for greatness....they are good! The sauce base is Mauro's red sauce from the tomato festival (thanks @connie_and_mauro) and some of my own sauce to thicken it up for pasta. And some leftover meatballs I was happy to rid the fridge of. Pretty happy 😊 #julieshomebistro #comfortfood #easyweeknightmeals (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CobNwhRLKmm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Going simple tonight! Grilled bone-in pork chops and broccoli on the smoker. Almost zero labor in the cook and cleanup. #julieshomebistro #healthyfood #easyweeknightmeals (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYtUbkrFT1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meal plan change! I can't pass up a sale... OR Dungeness crab. I made a warm and spicy cabbage slaw to go along. Yum. #julieshomebistro #seafoodlover #healthyfood (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWG7NxL7ts/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh the Mediterranean aromas! Curry drumsticks and veggies tossed with corriander, curry and tumeric. Season and toss on sheet pans...pop them in a hot oven and then eat! That creamy spicy spinach co-star is a fab of mine with jalapeño, ginger and garlic sauteed with the spinach and a some cream cheese tossed in at the end. #julieshomebistro #sheetpandinner #healthyfood (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTfsmUrWiM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pan seared this salmon with a butter-lemon-thyme sauce. Perfect with asparagus. And finally had servings of the banana ice cream! #julieshomebistro #seafoodlover #healthyfood #healthydessert (at Julie's Home Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoL0Rpkr1uD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
