Good eats

Things I've made this week:
French toast stuffed with Nutella, strawberries and banana.
Breakfast wrap made of whole wheat tortilla, scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon.

Things I want to make this week:
Spinach salad with pan seared salmon, honey goat cheese, walnuts and strawberries, balsamic vinaigrette

Rosemary and balsamic chicken with spring salad mix, carrots and cucumbers, probably just oil and vinegar for dressing

Smoothie (spinach, banana, almond milk, peanut butter, ice and protein mix)

Yogurt parfait (Greek yogurt, grapes and granola is 1 option, 2nd option is Greek yogurt, strawberries, milled flax seed and walnuts)

Soup (Asian style with wontons, hopefully can find bok choy in my local market by then)

Avocado toast with bacon, tomato and lettuce

Let's see how many of these I actually make.

Lunch...

After my post about what I want to make this week to eat, what did I eat for lunch?

A shrimp quesadilla! LMAO. I swear, I could never follow through on things....Ok not 'never', but it sure feels like that.

Either way, it's sooo good. I recently learned from a TJ (Trader Joe's) facebook group that you can, actually, cook shrimp straight from frozen. So I came up with the following: shrimp (didn't count, just looked like a good amount) poured light EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) then just added salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin and powdered oregano by eyeballing it. Decided it needed more olive oil, so I did just that.

I had a small amount of Mexican cheese blend by Sargento and an even smaller amount of Tillamook's mozzarella so I put the whole wheat tortilla in another pan while the shrimp cooked, added the cheese on one side and waited for it to melt. Once the shrimp were done, I did a rough chop and added the shrimp plus the sauce leftover in the pan and OMG...perfection.

The dish can be elevated with cilantro and lime juice but this did the trick during my 30 minute lunch. I didn't exactly love the whole wheat tortilla for this dish-it works well for my breakfast wraps but not for lunch. Weird.
