This was a simply great, quick dish adapted from Cooking Light. If you catch shrimp on sale, it’s practically frugal as well… The idea for tonight was fire, sun, warmth and brightness. This fit the bill quite well.
1/2 lb fettuccine, cooked to package directions and drained (really, start cooking it as soon as you start [...]
I whipped this up together quickly one night when I didn’t really feel like cooking. Served with some creamy noodles (thanks, Lipton in a bag) and some green beans, it was easy and tasty. To cook the beans, I just pushed the finished shrimp to the side and cooked the beans with some seasoned salt [...]
Happy New Year! Have you guys heard about this apparent tradition of eating black eyed peas on New Years? I have never heard of such a thing… in my house growing up, it was always saurkraut, which is not my thing. I’m pretty sure black eyed peas aren’t my thing either. Maybe refried beans. Do [...]

Another adapted recipe from Cooking Light. These were absolutely delicious, and tasted a lot like shrimp scampi (without butter or pasta!) I added rosemary to the marinade, and was pleased when it stuck to the shrimp after marinading. It added a lot of rosemary flavor which I think otherwise would have been missing. It was [...]

This is an adaptation of a Cooking Light recipe. I’m attempting to eat well (meaning more healthy) and so I made some modifications that would make that possible, even with a Cooking Light recipe, there are always improvements to be made!
Dough:
1 c. white flour
2 1/2 c. wheat flour
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 c. water
dash sugar
1 Tbs [...]
I love coconut shrimp. I have tried for years to recreate the recipes that you get from the freezer or from a restaurant, and am always left wanting. But no longer. This all sounds quite melodramatic, but you really must realize that I have made so many bad coconut shrimp recipes that finding a good [...]
This meal is all about cheating. It is so good though, that no one cares. It’d make a great dinner if you were trying to impress guests and didn’t really have time… It took just long enough for me to boil the water and cook the ravioli through. Because I totally cheated and [...]
This is another recipe from The Pioneer Woman. I have yet to make food from her blog that is bad. Really. Her chocolate cake alone convinced my husband to marry me (although he’ll say otherwise) so um, yes!
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. [...]
This recipe is from Cooking Light. Light, and easy, and another one that rates high on the “amount of dishes to be cleaned.” The flavors are very simple, but well balanced. If you find it lacking for any reason, I think you should try a squeeze of lemon juice to the shrimp [...]
The husband used to make this in mass quantities when he worked at the old-folks home, but he wasn’t allowed to use wine. I certainly like our combined version with a little spice and some alcohol to boot. Shrimp, in any form, can never be bad. I <3 shrimp. Plus, I [...]
