I discovered this seared shrimp and asparagus salad on the Allrecipes website when looking for a green salad which was a little different. It originally called for scallops which you can still use. I varied it by using grape seed oil because I like the flavor better. I also substituted cocktail shrimp in place of scallops because I wanted something easier to cook and more economical. What I wound up with was very tasty and now a holiday favorite.
It’s healthy, fast and easy to make and great any time of year. Allrecipe suggests serving it before an elegant dinner, we like it with our holiday meal because of the bright green color to add to red cranberries on your plate..enjoy! Continue reading “Seared Shrimp and Asparagus Salad”

Remembering Mike Heffernan
Today I say good-bye to my friend Mike. He has followed me and supported me. If I said “Mike, I am giving a talk” or “the media is going to be there” he would always be in the audience cheering me on, ready to be interviewed about how great his coach is. We were the same age and he had Parkinson’s. He lived fast and fought hard. We loved our fellow fighter, Mike (“Psycho Mikeo”).
At the family’s request, in lieu of flowers, please send donations to Kimberly Berg to apply to the Mike Heffernan “Fund a Fighter” program, which helps people with PD who can’t afford to join the fight team, a fighting chance. Please make out any checks for this purpose to “Kimberly Berg LLC”. Continue reading “Remembering Mike Heffernan”
