Ever have the kind of Friday that just won't end, that is the end of a week you thought would never end? That was yesterday...sometimes work is just too much! Very grateful to have a good job, but some weeks one can only do so much before mentally being done! That is when the allrecipes app on the Iphone comes in handy! Found a <20 minute meal to make for dinner- Shrimp Fettucine- I read some of the reviews and took the basic recipe and went with white wine vs. chicken broth (had just enough left in a bottle), and sauteed four garlic cloves, slightly smashed, in the Smart Balance (vs butter) to start....also threw in mushrooms, and used dried parsley....and a whole lemon's worth of juice. I know, some people say why post comments on something you have changed so much, but for me that is how I have learned just how easy it is to swap things out and make it yours and use what I have, vs. buying ingredients just for a recipe. With my staple of the bag of frozen shrimp from Costco, and some thin spaghetti, this was perfect. Added a salad (lettuce, tomato, croutons and fresh mozzarella- the yummy kind from the big ball!) and we had a fast, light Friday dinner. Part of a perfect quiet date night of dinner on the deck, sangria (admittedly pre-made with some extra fruit- it was that kind of week!), and a movie. Now after a great night's sleep am ready for some 5 de mayo fun, Maryland style! Le deseamos la paz, el amor, y se ríe de este fin de semana! (go go google translator!)
