We fell off the wagon big time starting with Thanksgiving and all the way through January. I rediscovered my love for buffalo wings, but if we’re being honest, they are just a vehicle to get buffalo sauce into my mouth and I love buffalo shrimp just as much. So, I’m kicking that addiction to the… Continue reading Back on the [pescatarian] wagon
