Mango Shrimp Salad
I went a whole year without buying shrimp in the grocery store, even though I used to eat it at least once a week. I had two bad experiences with the frozen shrimp here and I was done. Bad fish is bad news. I was convinced that because Switzerland is landlocked, they must not be […]
Balsamic Roasted Strawberries
Maybe you already know this, but European freezers are the size of a shoebox. Imagine fitting all your freezer items into a sneaker shoebox (not even a winter boot shoe box!) and you can understand my pain.

Flip Flop Wine Coasters
