Recipe of the Month: Garlic Shrimp Rosé Pasta

Elevate Your Pasta Night!

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound spaghetti

1 pound Argentine Red Shrimp--or any large, raw shrimp, peeled

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoon olive oil plus some for drizzling

3 tablespoons butter divided

4 cloves garlic chopped

1 large shallot finely chopped

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup Rosé wine (something dry and mineral-y)

1 cup fresh basil torn

1 lemon zested and juiced

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cook the pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the shrimp until you start your pasta.

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Preheat a large skillet (I like a cast iron skillet for this) over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When butter melts into oil, add the shrimp. Cook for a few minutes on each side until pink & cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Add an additional drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and remaining butter and add the garlic, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and sauté garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and scrape up any pan drippings.

Reduce the wine for 1 minute and add the lemon zest and juice and the shredded parmesan cheese--stirring the mixture until the cheese has melted. Add the cooked pasta and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine, and let the pasta soak up the sauce. Nestle the shrimp back into the skillet, garnish with basil and serve.

The Summer Go Bag: A Tiny Kit That Saves the Day

June 18, 2026

The Summer Go Bag: A Tiny Kit That Saves the Day Summer has a way of making “quick little outings” turn into full-blown adventures. A trip to the pool becomes dinner on the way home. A Saturday errand turns into a stop at the park. A lake day somehow requires 47 items, three snacks, and at least one person asking, “Did anyone bring sunscreen?” Enter: The Summer Go Bag . It doesn’t have to be fancy. It doesn’t have to be perfectly organized. It’s just a small tote, backpack, bin, or canvas bag you keep stocked with the little things that make summer life easier. Think of it as your warm-weather backup plan. What to put in your Summer Go Bag: Sunscreen + bug spray Because nothing ruins a good day faster than realizing you needed both about two hours ago. Reusable water bottles Keep one or two empty bottles in the bag, or toss in a couple of bottles of water before you leave. A small first-aid kit Bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain reliever, allergy medicine, and any must-have family basics. Phone charger or power bank Especially helpful for road trips, long days out, or those “I swear my phone was at 42% five minutes ago” moments. Wet wipes + tissues For sticky hands, spilled drinks, mystery car messes, and every parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle who has learned the hard way. A lightweight towel or blanket Great for parks, wet seats, surprise splash pads, outdoor concerts, or impromptu picnics. A few snacks Granola bars, crackers, trail mix, fruit snacks — anything that can survive a little heat and prevent a hunger-related family incident. Plastic bags or a small trash bag For wet swimsuits, muddy shoes, snack wrappers, or anything you don’t want touching the rest of your car. Spare sunglasses or a hat Simple, useful, and always appreciated when someone forgets theirs. Pet basics, if applicable A leash, collapsible water bowl, waste bags, and a small towel can make pet-friendly outings much easier. Where to keep it: Your car is usually the easiest spot, especially if you’re often on the go. If your vehicle gets too hot, keep heat-sensitive items like sunscreen, medicine, and snacks inside the house and toss them in before you leave. You can also make a smaller version for: Pool bags Lake bags Sports practices Road trips Grandkid days Dog park visits The real trick: Restock when you get home The Go Bag only works if it’s ready when you need it. After a busy weekend, take two minutes to replace what you used: snacks, wipes, sunscreen, bandages, water bottles, or plastic bags. That tiny reset makes the next outing so much easier. Summer should feel a little more spontaneous — and a little less like you’re packing for an expedition every time you leave the house. A simple Go Bag won’t solve everything, but it might just save the day.
