Food Network App

Trying to set a menu for a little party this weekend I stubbled upon the The Food Network app on my phone. It is a great app to help you research recipes, save, organize and create a shopping list all on your phone. While at the store the app lets you cross off the items you already have in your cart off the shopping list it create for you off the recipes you selected. This is a wonderful little helper add for aspiring cooks who also have a household and family to run, like me :-). 

For your little party I prepared Shrimp Ceviche and Mexican Meatball soup by Marcella Valladolid.

Also on the menu, my all-time favorite party appetizer

Seared Ahi Tuna crusted with Black Sesame Seeds with a beautiful Orange Cilantro Mojo as dipping sauce

Shopping list:

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 cup olive oil
