Simple Shrimp and Mushrooms

So it’s Friday and I’m down 2 lbs this week, a total of 6 lb loss in 2wks on my low carb diet.

I was so friggen swamped yesterday baking for the preschool fundraiser that I almost pulled a nasty frozen pizza out of the freeze BUT I didn’t!

Dinner took 10 minutes. TEN!
Shrimp and Mushroom Bowtie Saute (I just went light on the bowtie)

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp canola butter
1 package of mushrooms
1 small onion sliced
1 bag of precooked frozen shrimp
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp apple juice or dry white wine
1/2 package whole wheat bowties

1. Boil water and noodles
2. Heat olive oil and butter. Add onions and a dash of salt. Slice mushrooms and toss in. Once both are soft add shrimp and everything else. Bring to a boil, then set on low heat for about 5 minutes.
3. Strain noodles and throw it all together. Sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese. 10 minutes!

A Mommy Fail Friday

First of all, finding funny stories out there in mommy blogger world should be much easier than this! So if you find a mommy funny, email me heathernkids@yahoo.com
I know there are more than 5 people reading, and for the amount of hits I had last Friday you might as well allow me to write about YOU. That said…

I’m cruising my usually hangouts tonight, and I came across this funny.
http://fixitmommy.com/2009/03/31/a-two-month-streak-gone-in-a-splash/
FixITMommy is in the middle of Mission Potty Training like everyone else I know, and now the joys of preschool. The link I’ve posted is her most recent run in with every mom’s favorite job, a pee mishap (the famous, was it my kid or the dog?)…but she also has plenty of hilarious posts on other things, including advice on products.
and honestly, I just love that her logo has a plunger on it.
So in honor of FixItMommy’s Website….
Duct tape.
Not just for heating and air conditioning anymore.

Which leads me to link to this ridiculousness.

Shaye’s interested in the Sippie Cup Already.

But not the way I had hoped. I shouldn’t complain, she obviously tried to use it correctly. She IS sporting a milk moustache.

Inspector Gadget!

Brinn loves the magnifying glass. Today she was on the hunt for something exciting.
She took the letters off the magnet board inside her playhouse, “look mom, letters!”

What else? Thinking hard.

what do I see…in the tree….

and some little sprouts, we’re thinking sunflowers because Maeve’s homemade, soda bottle bird feeder was filled with them.

Monday & Tuesday Low Carb Dinners

Last night wasn’t picture worthy- green beans and ham.
Tonight I had big plans, but my insides feel like they’re being chewed on by rabid dogs, so all I can say is CHICKEN. And please keep in mind I’m not here to impress people who read my blog. When it’s all said and done at dinnertime, my son probably went to Taco Hell with his friends before coming home from school, my 9 yr old fed half of her dinner to the dog, and my 2 yr old ate a poptart.

And my dinner tonight? Hersheys.
