Crispy Baked Shrimp – get all the crispiness of fried shrimp in a quick and easy healthy way. Super crunchy, ready in minutes, and delicious! I’m always on the hunt for more irresistible shrimp dinner ideas. It’s one of the most affordable shellfish options on the market, and my entire family can’t get enough.

Last week we emptied: 2 Jar of Beef...

Other friends brought a salad and a dessert. It was a great meal. While I made this with boiled asparagus, if you have a chance...
By Nimal Chandrasena ‘Weeds’ are plants with special botanical and ecological attributes that allow their rapid establishment in disturbed areas, helping to reduce erosion of soils. Many weedy species have also proven their usefulness as medicines and food, going back several millennia. Wildlife, too, can benefit from such plants. Yet these plants are often the focus of a ‘war on weeds’ which is unfortunate and misguided, the author of a new book on the topic argues. “Can weeds be appreciated for their critical ecological roles? Can they be managed in situations where they may become problematic?” he asks. This post is a commentary. The views expressed are those of the author, not necessarily of Mongabay.
