{Food Prep}

For work today I made Dirty Shrimp and Beer last night.

My word. This was good.

I did change it up though just a tad.

Here's the original recipe:

DIRTY SHRIMP AND BEER. . - 2 lbs. shelled & deveined shrimp - 4 Tbsp. coconut oil - 2 Tsp. minced garlic - 1 Tsp. dried oregano - 1 Tsp. dried basil - 1 Tsp. dried thyme - 1 Tsp. cayenne pepper - 1/2 Tsp. crushed red pepper - 1/2 Tsp. sea salt - 1/2 Tsp. ground black pepper - 1/2 c. Beer DIRECTIONS - Sauté garlic and herbs in coconut oil until garlic is slightly browned. Add shrimp stirring constantly until shrimp are pink and done. Pour in beer, simmer 1-2 minutes. Serve and Enjoy !!

The only thing I changed was using Grapeseed Oil instead of coconut oil.

I don't have coconut oil and Grapeseed Oil has a good flavor to it also.

That's the only change I made.

I should've had enough shrimp for 2 work meals but my mom thought I was cooking dinner and not my lunch.  Who says no to Mom when she's been sick and took good care of me when I was sick?

I also made this amaze-balls Guacamole Quinoa with Mango side dish.

Talk about heaven in your mouth.

It's bursting with flavor and I loved it.

Another dish I made I got from online too but didn't save the link!!

Agh!! I hate doing this buuuuuuuuuuuuut, (and if it's yours please know I'd totally give you credit) it's a cup of yogurt and the original recipe calls for Nutella.  I don't remember how much exactly. Two tablespoons? 1/2 a cup? F*ck. I don't know because I didn't save the link.

Anyway, I hate hazelnut so did NOT buy Nutella.  Instead I bought a chocolate spread by Hershey's (in the same section as Nutella).  There is less sugar content in the chocolate spread than in Nutella. I checked.  I didn't check the rest but... Meh.

So, I used a cup of plain greek yogurt and whisked in a 1/2 cup of the chocolate spread.

It looks and tastes like a light and fluffy mousse. 

I plan on eating that with apple slices for a snack today.

I plan on going to the gym tomorrow after work for a light workout as well.

I've been feeling better, tired but better.

I still have a stupid cough.

Yuck.

Here's what I'm eating today:
