As wild as this year as been, can you believe that summer is coming to an end? Well at least summer is ending for the rest of the world, here in South Florida, we have summer year-round.
But with summer ending, I had a craving for something light and crisp (yet still filling) before we get into the heaviness of fall and winter cooking. Exhibit A: This Shrimp & Orzo Salad.

Now, if you're like me, you always make way too much mac n' cheese than necessary.
So the obvious thing to do is to take it, roll it into a ball and deep fry it for cheesecake factory appetizer vibes. Or pair it with some homemade tomato sauce and you've got yourself a second meal.

The combination of sweet and spicy is such a winning pair. Little sweet, little heat, fried chicken. #Winning. The idea for this recipe came while I was making French toast and realized the strawberry glazed I'm using on bread would go so well with chicken by adding a few spices and touches of heat. I've cooked this recipe 3 times in the past 3 days to get it just right and I think I finally have a good blend. This recipe serves as a good base for other fruit-based sauces. Easily substitute strawberries out for peaches, mangos, raspberries, etc. The options are endless so go crazy.
