Delicious Ceviche

This sweet and savory meal was perfect for my lunches this past week. Mixed with some avocado, it was filling and satisfying. Definitely one I will be making again for myself. I think it would also be something good to bring or prepare for entertaining. It is simple and quick to make too which is another bonus. 

Shrimp & Pineapple Ceviche

altered from the Food Faith Fitness Blog

2 tbsp finely chopped shallot

1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut

1/2 lb thawed cooked shrimp, largely chopped

1 8oz can pineapple tidbits, drained (I only used about 3/4th of the can)

1 avocado, pitted and chopped

Juice of 3 limes

3/4 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp finely minced garlic

Pepper to taste

1. In a large bowl, mix the shrimp and lime juice together. Let sit for about 20 minutes.

2. In a separate bowl, chop and combine the onion, tomato, and garlic.

3. Drain the remaining lime juice from the shrimp and add the chopped items to the shrimp.

4. Add the drained pineapple bits, salt and pepper. 

5. Wait to add the avocado just before serving so it doesn't brown. 

YUMM!!

And just like that...

And just like that, a year has passed.  A lot has happened since I submitted my last blog post. My husband and I bought our first home last winter. We have moved in and are learning what it is like to be homeowners. It is wonderful, but it is also a lot of work. Things pop up that I never even thought about before. But after being in the home for almost a year, making some of our own updates, and going through each season once, I feel like it is becoming ours.  Especially because this summer we will be welcoming our first child, our baby girl, to this home. So many images are already going through my mind of the years to come and the memories we will make in this home. I have many ideas of things I want to do with her, what I want to teach her and show her, and how I plan to spend my time with her and my husband. I might keep a running list on here just so I don’t forget any of my ideas.
