Still Eating....Just Not Posting Pictures lately

I haven't been posting my meals lately, because they haven't seemed exciting enough.  Tonight I made cod fish and shrimp (that I breaded and fried in olive oil).  It was delicious! 

The usual......whole wheat noodles with mixed vegggies (corn, broccoli, red peppers).

Nothing exciting.....

Keep watching...one day I may surprise you :)

I did make home-made pasta sauce this weekend.

Italian Sausage With Fried Potatoes and Eggs

I always loved when my mom or dad would make this dish.  I only make it a few times a year, but I always enjoy it and it brings back great memories too.  Leon and I gave this 5 Forks!

5 Italian Sausage Links (I only use Organic sausage - found at Giant)
4 Red Skinned Potatoes
6 Eggs
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

This meal doesn't take more than 45 minutes from start to finish. 

• Bake your sausage in a 375 degree oven while you are cutting your potatoes. 

• Cut potatoes in thin slices and fry them in 1/4 cup olive oil, turning often so they cooked throughout. 

• Add salt and pepper to the potatoes.
• Turn sausage once to the other side. 

• Once potatoes are almost tender (stick fork in some to see), cut sausage links into slices (see pictures). 

• Add sausage to the potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.
• In the meantime whip up your eggs and add salt and pepper to them.
• Add the eggs to the sausage and potatoe mixture, folding them in as they cook (see pictures)

Fusilli With Shrimp, Mushrooms & Spinach

This is a variation of my other Shrimp Pasta Dish Below.

This can be made with or without the shrimp.

3/4 pound fusilli pasta         
16 large shrimp (cut in pieces)
1/2 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen chopped spinach
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth (or veg.broth)
1/4 cup cooking wine
2 frozen garlic cubes (or cloves)
1 can mushroom stems & pcs.
Red pepper flakes
Seasoned salt (or salt of your choice)
pepper to taste              

Parsley Flakes                  

Cook pasta according to directions on box.  In the meantime, Saute garlic in olive oil.  Add mushrooms and seasonings, stirring often.  After 5 minutes, add tomatoes, spinach, wine and broth.  Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.  Add shrimp and cook for 3 to 5 minutes longer until the shrimp has completely turned a salmon color.  Drain pasta and pour shrimp mixture over pasta - toss.  Serve with fresh grated Italian cheese.

Note:  It's hard for me to tell how much of each seasoning I add, because I don't measure.  I just judge according to what I like.  I added enough red pepper flakes for this to be spicy dish.

More Meals to Come
