Send us a textThis week we welcome CJ, the creator of A Well Read Tart book and recipe blog, and co-host of the Dark Side of the Word podcast. We talk books, recipe development, learning to cook, AND we make her go-to Paprika Shrimp & Gouda Polenta recipe. Have you ever been inspired to bake or cook while reading a book? CJ shares her creative thinking behind her blog - how she comes up with ideas for recipes that connect in some way to books she reads, and her process for recipe development. We asked CJ to share a recipe with us and she chose a shrimp and cheesy polenta dish. Erin took this one on, because she doesn't have a lot of experience cooking shrimp and she wanted to learn. CJ shares tips for buying and cooking shrimp, if you're also a newbie. And this polenta is cheesy, creamy and fantastic! We absolutely love it. It's a side dish that can be paired with almost anything you're serving.   A Well Read Tart is a blog CJ created to discuss books and the recipes she develops that are inspired by the books she reads. If you're into books and recipes, this is obviously for you! Her co-hosted podcast, Dark Side of the Word is a discussion on writing topics, and horror fiction. Both of these are a lot of fun, so please check them out!
