Shrimp, and sex, and the city ;)

Tonight I am craving SHRIMP. Last weekend, I ordered the Applebees low cal Shrimp and Island Rice and it was DIVINE. I felt like I was indulging! (Side note – I also tried the skinny marg, which was nothing to write home about… though apparently it was worthy enough to blog about… haha)

Since then, I’ve been craving some shrimpies so that’s what is on the agenda this evening.

I found a new blog that I’m really enjoying that is all about healthy recipes called Skinny Taste

On the blog, I saw a delicious recipe for shrimp quesadillas. I don’t have time to run to the store to buy all the ingredients before sex and the city 😀 😀 😀 — so I’m mixing it up a little bit based on what I have on hand.

9 Large Shrimp
1/2 tsp minced garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, lemon juice, water
1/4 tsp salt

Shrimpies pre-George

Shrimpies post-George

1 Joseph’s Low Carb pita with Flax
1/4 bag Calabacita blend veggies (leftovers from last night)
1 slice pepper jack cheese goodness
Tomato, onion, banana peppers
1 dollop of daisy fat free breakstones 😉

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
