The pup ...

Because sometimes all you want to do is just lay around ...

And I mean really just lay around ...

And that totally means you work up an appetite right?!

Oh silly puppy! 

Chili Lime Shrimp Quinoa ...

So being on the fix means that I've been changing our diet.  It has been fun {and at times oh so interesting} to try new recipes and experiment with new foods.  Some of them have been BIG winners - others, well - lets just say the hubs will eat ANYTHING which is good for me.  There's been a time or two where I end up frying up some eggs while he eats what I had originally made ;)

Tonight I tried a new recipe given to me by a friend and it was delicious {even if I just realized I left out the onion, oops!}  The hubs agreed it would be one to try again.

Without further ado, here are the goods! 

Chili Lime Shrimp Quinoa

For Quinoa

Ingredients

¾ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed

1 ¼ cups of water

lime juice from 1 lime

2 cloves of garlic chopped

1 tsp chili powder

Directions

Bring water to boil in a saucepan

Add quinoa and reduce heat to low.  Let cook about 15-20 minutes until all water is absorbed.

Let sit for about 5 minutes then add the lime juice, garlic, and chili powder and stir well.

For Shrimp and Veggies

1 tsp chili powder

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp pink Himalayan sea salt

½ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 lb of thawed shrimp

3 cups of chopped mixed bell peppers {I used red, orange, and yellow} and zucchini

1 cup red onion, chopped

Directions

Combine chili powder, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and olive oil in a large resealable container or plastic bag

Add shrimp, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion

Shake bag or container until coated

Spray large non-stick pan with spray and empty the contents of bag/container onto it over medium-high heat

Cook for 6-8 minutes stirring frequently

Combine with quinoa and serve.

If you are doing the 21 day fix this has 4 servings and 1 serving is worth: 1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow

Otis might have been a little curious about the ingredients too ;)

{and no, he normally isn't allowed up on the counters. And yes, we really confused him by getting after him after laughing and taking pictures -oops!}

Snow Pup ...

Because the pup is ALL about the snow!
