Rewarding myself!!!

I know that I've been telling you guys that I have been on a diet to lose a few extra pounds that have snuck up on me...well I'm still on my diet, however sometimes you just gotta cheat a little bit. Or reward yourself, whatever you wanna call it. I guess I'll call it rewarding myself. When I reward myself, I do it really good!

I bought this cookbook at T.J. Maxx when my sister and Mom went shopping for Mom's birthday last month. I finally decided to make something out of it. I love seafood and pasta (my weakness) so when I came across this Shrimp Fettuccine recipe, I knew it was time to reward myself for the 6 pounds that I have lost. (I hope that I didn't gain it all back after eating this! LOL) You can click on the picture if you want to read the recipe.

The book is one of the Goose berry Patch cookbooks. I love Goose berry.

First you have to saute the bell pepper and onions in butter. Real butter!

You also add green onions and garlic...

And of course...cheese...glorious cheese. That's what Garrett calls it.

Add the yummy Mississippi home grown shrimp and it starts to thicken. It also has half and half in it. That's a little trouble maker all by itself. LOL

You then mix it with cooked fettuccine noodles and put it in the oven until it is all hot and bubbly. Delicious! I ate some that night and took some to work the next day for lunch.
Now, I'm back on my diet and I have been a good girl. Oh no, the holidays are coming...more delicious food! I will have to be good until Thanksgiving! I have to have my favorite turkey and dressing!

Have a great day!

Oh and sorry for the Halloween music still playing. My computer is giving me troubles and I can't go into my playlist to change the songs.
