1 year later

I had my one year checkup yesterday. Aside from damage in a couple of places from the radiation, they say I'm doing well, and so far, no signs of cancer. Woo Hoo! I don't go back for another six months and no more scans for one year.

I can't believe it's been a year. Of course, it's been a long one but I would go through this hell again if it meant being cancer free.

Thank you all for your love, support, well wishes, thoughts, prayers etc. I know I couldn't have done this without you to give the strength I needed. I'm sorry that I lost some people along the way, but apparently it was time to "put childish things away" and they weren't true friends to begin with.

Ok, I'm off my soap box.

Hopefully, from now on, this blog will serve as just an update into my now boring life ;) and occasionally a place to give you guys some awesome recipes.

I hope everyone is doing well. Love to all!

Santa Fe Shrimp Cocktail

Since I made it a couple of weeks ago, I've had many requests for the Santa Fe Shrimp Cocktail. It's SOO yummy. I typically do not like cocktail sauce, but with this stuff, I become a piggy. So here you go, enjoy!

Santa Fe Shrimp Cocktail
1 jar (small) mild salsa
1 avocado, chopped
1 tbsp Frank's hot sauce
1 tbsp lime juice    (I left this out)
1 tbsp cilantro
1 lb shrimp (cooked, peeled)
1 c French's fried onions
1 lime, wedged  (I left this out)

Combine salsa, avocado, hot sauce, cilantro, & lime juice (if desired).

Your choice: you can either layer your shrimp then sauce in a cocktail glass (i.e. margarita or martini) OR mix shrimp and sauce together, both are fine.

Microwave fried onions for 1 minute, sprinkle over shrimp cocktail.

As you can see, this recipe makes a lot. From what me and hubby noticed, it will last for up to two days in refrigerator.

I hope everyone is doing great! Love to all <3
