The kids have been out of school for a week. They will be out an extra week due to COVID-19.
I don’t know about your kids, but when my kids are out of school, they will eat us out of a house and home. In the words of my grandma.
I feel like I am preparing meal after meal to keep them fed.
I recently made Buttered Shrimp in the oven.
Creating easy and new dishes that no matter your level of cooking is my objective lately. There are so many of us that live such a busy life. But busyness doesn’t mean that we can’t still find a way to eat healthier at home.
Pocket Buttered Shrimp
This is a simple and easy dish that can have dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. An easy, healthy dish that you can serve with bread, over pasta or just alone. SO yummy!
