Sushi Substitute

If you're like me, you love sushi, and wish you had money to eat it daily. Well, I have found something to satisfy the sushi craving AND it's easy to make!

Behold "Spicy California Shrimp Stack". Check out the recipe at skinnytaste.com!


I bough shrimp just for this, but then we used imitation crab, and it was just as good. Also, I didn't want to take the time to cook rice, so I used the microwavable "Quinoa & Brown Rice" we got from Sam's Club. So good! Matt doesn't even like cucumbers, but he liked this. We got imitation crab at the store again so I can make it this week. It's quick, easy and oh so yummy!

Post Holiday Resolve

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we didn't stick with the diet the last 2 weeks of December. Aaand we started the new year resolved to eat right. I bought a bunch of produce yesterday.
Monday also was the beginning of grad school for my husband, and if the last 2 days are any indication of the next 2 years - I'm gonna have a lot of time to myself. I can't help him study, so I think I can contribute to his studies by preparing healthy dinners for us.
Last night I made quick stuffed peppers. There is no corn or potatoes in the house, so it was hamburger, onions, A1 sauce and some pepper jack cheese on top cooked in tje oven for a little bit. It was a winner, but with hamburger as expensive as it is, we won't be having that very often.
Anyway, Happy New Year all! Here's to health!
