We had a nice two weeks with the girls and now they are back to their Dad's. We cooked up alot of good food. I am really happy with the way the girls are willing to try new things. If they snicker while I am cooking I just say at least give it a try and they do. Usually they end up saying this is really good Mom! I love how hamburgers without the bun is just the norm now and no one asks anymore are we having buns? They just know we aren't. They both have a different way of eating them. One stacks everything on top and the other puts a piece of lettuce on the top and one on the bottom and eats it with her hands. We watched some movies last night so we did buy some popcorn.. I probably ate a handful and the hubby a few handfuls. I will tell you it was so not worth it ! I felt like crap. This morning I felt like crap. I am still feeling like crap. It wasn't even good. The kids however were not really affected by it. I am really happy with the way I eat now and cant even imagine going back to the other way all the time. Thats a really good thing. The more I read , the more stuff is clicking if that makes sense. So today I made Shrimp and Broccoli with tomatoes. I kinda threw this one together myself after seeing a picture with tomatoes and shrimp.
Shrimp with Broccoli and Tomatoes
Steam a head of broccoli , set aside.
In skillet add butter and sautee onions until tender.
Add broccoli and cherry tomatoes to the pan with the onion and sautee.
Remove from pan and set aside.
In another bowl toss shrimp in your fave spices.
( I used , garlic powder, paprika,onion powder, chili powder , salt , pepper and parsley)
Add some more butter to the pan and cook the shrimp. Add vegetables back to the skillet and serve.
