Hi Everyone!!!! I just need to take a moment and apologize! I completely forgot to update last week! Oops! Oh well. As you can see by my awesome weigh ins, the past two weeks have been...weird. But I guess that just goes along with being me!
I have some things going on that are making me kind of eat my feelings so I know I'm not doing exactly what I am supposed to. At this point I am just glad I haven't gone back into the 290's! I have made some terrible food choices lately and I know it. But I am getting myself back on track and moving forward.
I did want to share a few recipes that I found that my people have told me are awesome.
Tip: Do NOT add salt! I promise it doesn't need it! I added salt and I won't do that again! Will and Gwen ate this stuff like it was going out of style! Normally I have leftovers for a few days and even maybe have to throw stuff out. Not this stuff. GONE! I think the leftovers lasted like 3 days in the fridge.
Scallop Noodles - Ya'll. I'm not even joking when I say this is the easiest recipe EVER. I wanted scallops. And I needed something to go with them. So I made noodles. Just Pasta-Roni noodles. These were the Parmesan Noodles. Scallops were pan seared in butter and garlic with a splash of lemon juice. So...Very...Good! And if you aren't a fan of scallops, make some shrimp! Or even fish!
Shrimp Po'Boy's - This is one of Will's favorite recipes! Super easy and super yummy! I normally have to get the peeled/deveined shrimp with the tail still on and then just pull the tails before I cook them. But sometimes I get lucky and can find just the shrimp meat. Will loves his on a sub roll with lettuce and tomato. I prefer mine as just the shrimp with some of the sauce for the sandwiches. The sauce is nice and smooth with a spicy kick. Just enough to let you know you are eating something amazing. I don't use the peanut oil to cook the shrimp, I just use veg oil. Peanut oil is expensive! If you haven't ever tried a po'boy - try this one!
We have 1 week until vacation and I can not begin to tell you all how excited I am! Did I meet my weight loss goal? Nope. But I feel better! I am very much looking forward to sitting on the beach with a drink in my hand and listening to the waves! This vacation is going to be very different from all our other vacations. Social Distancing, Masks, Our normal places are closed, Restaurants only doing take out. Its going to be different, but we will be just fine!
Let me know if you all try any of the above recipes and what you think! Have a good week guys!
