What Worked Best For Me Last Week Were 17 Seafood Recipes
Some weeks feel longer than others, and last week was one of them. Somehow, 17 seafood recipes made it feel a bit more manageable. Not because there was a grand plan, but because every one of them just worked. They didn’t need much explaining, didn’t cause extra mess, and definitely didn’t come with complaints.
