Delectable Dishes

1. Blackened Shrimp with Tropical Pico from Cooking Light.
2. South Congress Seafood Parfait from South Congress Cafe: market fresh fish marinated ceviche-style in lime juice with diced chiles, jícama, tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots on a bed of fresh guacamole with pepitas and crispy flour tortilla strips. DELICIOUS!

3. Yummy BBQ a la Schaefer from Cam and Keith's rehearsal dinner.
4. Shrimp Empanadas a la Nicholas. When I am out of town, Nicholas can do whatever he wants in the kitchen. I can't tell you everything that he put in them, but the leftovers I had were fabulous.
5. Seared Sesame Hawaiian Tuna from Tavern on the Rush in Chicago.

6. Egyptian Edamame Stew from EatingWell.com.

7. Black Bean Burgers with guacamole from Cooking Light. We served them on onion rolls and they were fabulous!
8. Chicken Fried Beef Ribs from Jack Allen's Kitchen. Okay, this isn't on my Delectable dishes list, but Nicholas really enjoyed it.
