Shrimp & Crab Pasta

• I sauteed a bag of peel-and-eat shrimp with cooking spray and garlic. Then I took my portion out and placed in another pan. I added butter, a little more garlic, spinach, and crab meat to the pot and sauteed a bit longer. Mine was the same, but still with no butter!
• At the same time I had a pot of spaghetti noodles going.
• When it was all finished, I plated the pasta and covered it with the shrimp & crab, garlic-butter mixture for the fam. Mine was paired with 1/2 a cucumber and a 1/2 cup baked asparagus.
• Lastly, I sprinkled everything with a bit of feta cheese.

SIMPLE - SCRUMPTIOUS - SATISFYING!!!!! :)

Breakfast Pods (for dinner)

We like to have "breakfast for dinner" every once in awhile, but this could be a big breakfast hit too! It's an idea I got from the pinterest website and mine don't look as perfect as the ones I saw pictured...maybe the next time they will since I know what to do now.

1. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cut pieces of bread to fit inside. The original directions said to cut with a circular cookie cutter. I didn't have one so I cut the crusts off into a square. Cut into two triangles and push them into the muffin pan slots.
3. Now you can either add the bacon and egg OR...add some other ingredients. In two of mine I add two slices of Roma tomatoes and some spinach. You have to push them all the way down so the egg fits in. After you add your veggies, place the bacon in the bread cup.
4. Now add the egg to the top. The ones I originally saw were all perfect white and yolk sitting happily at the top. My kids DO NOT eat eggs that way so I scrambled two for theirs.
5. Bake @ 375 for about 20 minutes.

• The one pictured in the middle...you know, the one that looks gigantic compared to the rest, that one is actually made with quinoa flakes instead of bread. Yep, that ones mine since I can't eat bread. I found quinoa flakes at a farmers market. Mixed with about 1 tbls spoon almond milk and pushed that into the muffin cup instead of bread. It worked! It was delicious!
• Other things you may want to add into your cup: feta cheese, shredded cheese, mushrooms, jalapenos, onions...or anything else that sounds good to you!
• This was super easy! Super fun for my 7 year old! And delicious!
• I recommend you try it with the quinoa flakes - great source of protein!

Fiesta Grouper

Tonight's dish had the hubs asking for more and then saying, "That's a definite do-over!" (meaning, PLEASE make that one again)! Also, another super quick meal.

Grouper:

• Place grouper fillets in a baking dish.
• Brush with butter and lemon juice mixture.
• Sprinkle with garlic, chili powder, parsley, and salt.
• Slice a jalapeno pepper and place on the top of each fillet.
• Bake or broil @ 350 for about 10 - 15 minutes.
• Heat black beans in a separate pan.
• Make a boil-in-a-bag rice pouch.

I mixed mild, fresh salsa in with the black beans for a fiesta flavor. Take away the rice for less carbs. ENJOY!
