Shrimp pasta!

I love a good shrimp scampi. It is filled with delicious buttery sauce, but having no dairy is a little difficult to do. So, I just whipped this recipe up, you can add whatever vegetable you like. I got frozen already cooked shrimp and de-thawed it. I got my noodles boiling, I used the brown rice noodles with no gluten. I cut up red pepper and sauteed it in Earth Balance butter spread with no soy. I added olive oil in my sautee pan and added crushed up garlic. I sprinkled oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley on the red pepper. I then add my shrimp to the pan. When my noodles are done are spoon them out of the water and put them in the sautee pan and add a little bit more Earth Balance. This meal is pretty simple and taste delicious!

Sweet spot!

This is a good easy sweet snack! You can use any nuts you like, but I use macadamias, pecans, and walnuts. I do 1 cup of macadamias and pecans, then 2 cups of walnuts. I get the skillet hot and add the nuts. I then pour in a 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup. I mix them around and put a dash of sea salt on them. Then I let them simmer and stir occasionally for 5 minutes. I spray nonstick spray on some foil and pour nuts on when done. I love this simple sweet and salty treat!

Taco Salad!

This is very simple taco salad, and you can add whatever you like. I had left over taco meat from the night before, which is lean hamburger and my own variety of seasonings. I usually leave out chili powder because we have a chili allergy in my house. I use onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and oregano. It is as good as the packaged taco seasoning. I make my salad with romaine (I like the crunch) and I added yellow peppers to the mix. I put the warmed meat on the salad then I cut up avocado on it. I didn't have cherry tomatoes or radishes, I usually add those on my salad too. This is very simple and you can add whatever vegetable you like.

Pancakes!

Another breakfast option is pancakes, they are a delicious alternative to the real thing. I mash up one banana, and add one whole egg then I add the white of another egg. You could do both eggs, but I think one yolk is enough. Then you just mix the egg and banana together. This time I didn't have any nuts or I usually put walnuts in them. All you do is get your pan hot and flip them a couple times. If I had nuts I put them in when I put the egg mixture in the pan. I added raspberries, but I put them on top when they are finished. You can't have pancakes with out syrup, so I drizzled a little pure maple syrup on them. The picture is not that good, but it's a little difficult flipping them.
