***Italian Shrimp Fettuccine***

I have been so hungry for shrimp scampi lately.  After getting blood work the other day, I am very conscious of my cholesterol count so I was so happy to run across this gem on Facebook this morning.   ( Sheyrl’s Weight Loss Support Group — A Renewed & Healthy YOU!! ) I left out the mushrooms, the onions, the lemon juice and the wine.  It still came out fantastic.  My minced garlic is stored in the fridge in olive oil.  I used 4 tablespoons of garlic to the pound of shrimp and can of diced tomatoes.   I also added a hint of ground basil leaves along with the crushed parsley.  Since my hubby does not care for fettuccine I had to serve over spaghetti.

***Italian Shrimp Fettuccine***

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
4 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
8 ounces fettuccine
1/2 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
Add the mushrooms, green onions, and garlic.
Saute for 1-2 min or until green onions start to soften.
Stir in the tomatoes, parsley and wine.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions and drain.
Add the shrimp and lemon juice to tomato mixture.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink.
Serve over the cooked fettuccine.
***To make this healthier serve over spaghetti squash or whole wheat Pasta

5 MINUTE 4 INGREDIENT NO BAKE CHEESECAKE

 

5 MINUTE 4 INGREDIENT NO BAKE CHEESECAKE

Ingredients-
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 8 ounce (250g) tub of cool whip (whipping cream)
1/3 cup of lemon or lime juice
1 8 ounce (250g) package of cream cheese.

Most important part of this recipe, is to leave the cream cheese out for a couple hours at room temperature. The cream cheese will become soft and smooth. The importance of this is to create a smooth texture. Not doing so, will create horrible lumps of cream cheese that will ruin the flavor of this pie.

After your cream cheese is softened enough, I like to see if it will spread easily with a plastic spatula. In a mixing bowl, mix all before mentioned ingredients. Please note: the lemon/lime juice must come last. The reaction of the citrus juice will start to harden your mixture almost immediately.

A sincere thank you to The Weekend Magazine for sharing this great idea on Facebook.

Repost from Paula Dean Twist on Pumpkin Pie

This is a nice change from regular pumpkin pie…a nice twist adding the apple butter…

It’s pumpkin season again, which means it’s time for a slice of this outta-this-world Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie!
http://www.pauladeen.com/recipes/recipe_view/apple_butter_pumpkin_pie/

With my corn allergy there are very few changes that have to be made to make this corn free.

1 cup apple butter (check ingredients)
1 cup fresh or canned pumpkin
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (Brown sugar is tricky) it does have corn products in it so I replace with honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
3 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup evaporated milk (read the label)
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (Have to make from scratch)
Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish
