After Jami and John’s wedding I had a really tough time getting out of bed. Even my nails and teeth felt swollen. For a couple of days we survived on what I call fast food; Hamburger Helper and frozen pizza. But we needed a real meal before long so I made something simple but really tasty – Herbed Shrimp with Lemon Orzo and Peas.
Herbed Shrimp with Lemon Orzo and Peas
I can’t think of many dinners that are as easy to make as this one! Because it needs only three ingredients and very little prep work, this is one of my favorite “fancy” meals for days when I’m dreaming of having my very own personal chef. Gerard Butler (shirtless, of course) feeding me bonbons while I wait for dinner would be cool, too. If you like Caesar salad I guarantee you’ll love Caesar Pork Steaks!
I’m still on my “I’m too tired and sore to cook” kick. The weather has decided that it’s going to stay cold and rainy and I was thinking I wanted to wrap myself up in heating pads and stay in bed. That, because my mind never travels in a straight line, got me thinking about the enormous amount of leftover turkey I have and how turkey wraps would be a simple dinner. In about 30 minutes I’d made Turkey Wraps with Cranberry & Nuts and now I can bundle up and spend the rest of the night watching Netflix!
There are days I need a dinner that’s really fast and easy but I still want something satisfying and delicious. Yesterday was one of those days. Between butchering the duck and the cold, wet weather I was barely able to move most of the day. But I was hungry! So I made my Easy Shrimp Scampi with Butter Wine Lemon Sauce. I had dinner ready in the time it took to cook some linguine and the combination of tender shrimp, garlic, green onions, and that silky sauce were just what we needed!
