Step by Step: Shrimp Taco's

This past weekend I was totally in the mood for Mexican food. The one issue is that the majority of Mexican recipes are made with either beef or chicken. I committed to a meat and poultry-less lifestyle so that wasn't going to be possible... Then, as I was perusing one of my favorite blogs, Pioneer Woman, I saw a recipe for Shrimp Tacos!

Breakfast At Tiffany's Bridal Shower

So, everyone knows Breakfast at Tiffany's, right? Well, I am lucky enough to be part of a wedding party and we just threw the bride a Breakfast (or Brunch!) at Tiffany's themed bridal shower. To be honest, the planning was harrowing and the event didn't go off without some mishaps, however, I think the theme was, overall really nicely done and I wanted to share what we did with all of you! It absolutely...
