First I want to say I never win raffles but I guess if you participate in enough you will eventually win…Thanks to Foodieblogroll and Jane Doiron I just got my copy of Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms. It has a lot of good tips on how to make ahead and freeze or even just refrigerate earlier in the day or day before. A lot of things I have blogged about but new recipes to try. Now if I could just win a new car or room makeover:)
This weeks Barefoot Contessa recipe was Shrimp Bisque. I have never even thought of making this until the challenge given by Jennifer of Our Blessed Home. I am not a big creme based soup girl but this was pretty good. Very simple as well. I found boxed seafood stock at Whole Foods so I did not have to make that. I also used the whole can of tomato paste thinking it would give a less creamy taste. It makes a pretty pink dish if you want something special for Valentine’s day. The kids moderately enjoyed it, I should of halved the recipe which would have been easily done, they basically tasted a little of the broth and picked out the shrimp.
It was not so good left over a few days later!!

I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Molly thanks for stopping by, saw your blog and at first thought those were all your kids, not grandkids. Love to hear your input.
Yes, Congrats on the raffle. I never win anything either and yet I just won something 2 weeks ago. WOW! I love all your cooking and jar ideas. I have signed on to be a follower, so you’ll be hearing from me.
My kids wouldn’t touch it and they like shrimp. Too sophisticated, I guess! Congrats on the raffle! What is the saying?: “You can’t win if you don’t enter!”
