Shrimp and veggie sheet pan dinner

I made this tonight and it was really good!  Here's what I did: 

Preheat the oven to 400. Spray your sheet pan to prevent anything from sticking.

For the shrimp, combine: 

1 pound raw, deveined tail-on shrimp 

2 T. olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

salt and pepper

2 T. butter

1/8 cup feta cheese

For the tomatoes, combine: 

Cherry tomatoes

1/8 cup feta cheese

1 T. olive oil

salt and pepper

(I put the tomatoes and cheese inside the foil because my son doesn't like cheese) 

For the zucchini, just add olive oil and salt and pepper and toss

Once assembled, bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes. I served this with a side of rice. 

Kitchen Sink Salsa

 Confession: I "stole" this recipe from a good friend who is following Bright Line Eating (Google it-it's a great program!) I haven't made this yet! BUT I'm posting it so that I don't forget to make it! 

Mississippi Chicken

Super simple and delicious dinner- Mississippi chicken! What I have on this plate was some roasted spaghetti squash and okra topped with the chicken. 

You can use chicken tenders, breasts or thighs. The pepperoncini peppers don't add very much spice, so don't be scared to use them along with some of their juice. 

This dish always turns out tender and juicy! Definitely a keeper and it's now in my dinner rotation.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This is an oldie but a goodie! Perfect any time of year, but especially summer. Southern recipes crack me up because anytime something involves jello and a fruit, the word salad is automatically put in the title! HAHA!  Trust me when I say this is a delicious dessert and NOT a salad (although I do love salads too!)  

I made this for my son's birthday party and everyone loved it! Next time, I may make two pans of it because I think some people would have loved a second helping. It has the perfect combination of sweet and salty. 

Here's the recipe-

My one suggestion is to use closer to 3 cups of crushed pretzels so that your crust is a little thicker. Other than that, this was a hit!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I've been trying to eat low carb and so I made these last night along with a side of steamed broccoli and they were so good! And super filling! If you're trying to consume less sodium, check out coconut aminos- great flavor and less salt! 

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground chicken

Salt and pepper to taste

4 T. coconut aminos - link here - BetterBody Foods Organic Coconut Aminos Soy Sauce Replacement, 16.9 fl oz - Walmart.com

5 green onions, chopped

1 cup matchstick carrots

1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts (add in at the last minute before serving)

Combine all the above ingredients in a skillet over medium heat. Serve inside butter lettuce leaves. Enjoy!
