Creamy Shrimp Fettuccine Casserole

“If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him… the people who give you their food give you their heart.” ~Cesar Chavez

I know when a lot of people hear the word "casserole" they are normally not very impressed.  Maybe even a little turned off.  And I have to say, I agree, I am normally one of those people.  However, this creamy shrimp fettuccine casserole will surely change your mind.  It is truly delicious! It does not have the typical Alfredo sauce, although the sauce is very white and creamy.  You can taste a hint of lemon in the dish which pairs  really nicely with the shrimp.  Salad greens, garlic bread and a white wine are great options to accompany your dish.    Hope you all enjoy, please let me know what you think!

Sprinkle with extra cheese and croutons before serving, or add red potatoes and carrots to your soup if you are looking to try something new.  This link also gives a recipe for homemade bread bowls to serve your soup in.

Spring Fashion Forecasting 2013

"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world."

~Virgil Kraft

Spring is just around the corner, and I am suffering from a severe case of "Spring Fever".  How about you? 

Spring fashion trends are always so much fun-such cheerful colors and patterns.  Not to mention very feminine.  Today I would like to share with you what some of spring's hottest trends are, right from the runway, as modeled at spring fashion week in NYC. 

Bright, bold floral patterns and pops of colors are turning heads this spring.  Cut-out backs or "peek-a-boo" pieces on flowy, feminine dresses and tops are also a big trend this season.  

Bermuda shorts for women are a super hot spring/summer trend for 2013.  I personally love this trend, and really like how it is modeled below; the high waist is very figure flattering.  Also pastel colors, as seen on the shorts, and bold stripes as shown on her tee and also shown above.

The "Mullet" dress is another really great and popular trend for spring and summer 2013.

What is your favorite of these new and upcoming trends?  Are these trends that you are excited about and ready to rock?
