Seafood is a great alternative for dinner, offering a change from the typical meals of beef, chicken or pork. This Shrimp Linguine recipe is a little different because it’s not served as a hot dish. It’s also easy to make, and is filling and delicious.
After your dinner, you may like a nice Apple Crisp dessert. With apple season here, it’s a great time to make the sweet treat to top off your meal.
