We went on a date tonight!! It’s so crazy to think that (with the exception of vacation) we haven’t gone to a restaurant or had a traditional date night in months. We decided to check out Pappardella this evening, since we had heard raving reviews.

Ahh vacation! So many amazing meals I couldn’t wait to tell you all about! We had a wonderful few days away and I’m honestly sad how quickly it came to a close. Overall, Destin seemed packed but there were a few places that didn’t seem as busy as you’d imagine. It was weird. Some places we had long waits to be seated and others we walked right in and had our pick of tables. But we ate tons of good food so let’s get right to it!

Doesn’t the taste of pineapple just transport you to somewhere warmer?? Well it does for me, anyway! Growing up, my mom would bake this pineapple chicken dish every once in a while and it was a favorite for everyone in the house! Darrell is allergic to poultry so I don’t cook mom’s pineapple chicken for us but we recently started experimenting with shrimp and pineapple!

Y’all already know risotto is our favorite. We love how you can dress it up or keep it simple and therefore we love trying to new risotto recipes any chance we get. One of our new favorites is a red wine + goat cheese take on this Italian comfort food. I love trying different cheeses in risotto and I wasn’t sure if goat cheese would really “work” in this dish but IT DOES!! And if you’re not a huge fan of goat cheese, I think you’d probably still like this risotto because it’s not in your face with the goat cheese flavor!

This weekend, we broke out the Crockpot! I hadn’t used it in quite a while but had found a recipe for slow cooker pulled pork and wanted to give it a try. Y’all this was so good! And it gave us enough to eat on for lunches for a couple days!

I keep an ongoing list of sweet treats I’d like to make or try as a gluten free version and apple fritters have been on that list for a long, long time! This weekend I gave them a try with a recipe I found on Pinterest. I like to keep it real on here and to be real with you, I messed up and they didn’t turn out as great as I’d hope.

If you saw my Brussels sprouts and garlic bacon aioli post earlier in the, this is the scallops recipe I was hinting at! While my sauce didn’t turn out the same color as the author’s photos, it was delish!

Y’all already know we LOVE roasted Brussels sprouts! This garlic bacon aioli really elevates roasted Brussels sprouts and makes a great healthy appetizer or just a dressed up side for dinner. We tried this recipe tonight and it was tasty, easy and simple! And check back later this week to see the scallop recipe we paired them with!
