After lunch, I walked for 20 minutes in this snowy weather to go tanning.
Very cold and slippery! It felt nice to get some (fake) sun!! I took the subway to the mall after and got this lovely phone.
It is the LG Envy2. I already like it much better than the Blackberry. I can actually text without pressing 3 buttons at once!
I got home around 8 and started to get hungry for dinner. I bought frozen shrimp today so I decided on Shrimp Fried Rice!
I started off by cooking some squash, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms on the stove.
In another pan, I cooked the shrimp.
In a pot, I boiled some 10 Minute Success Brown Rice in a Bag.
I added the spray butter to the veggies. I added Low Sodium Soy Sauce and Sesame Seeds to the shrimp. I used spray butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder for the rice.
In another pan, I cooked two egg whites to mix in the rice.
I then mixed the rice, veggies, shrimp, and egg whites into the pot.
Beautiful Shrimp (Not) Fried Rice!!
For the side, I made a salad with some garlic hummus and red wine vinegar on top.
This was delicious! I used to make this all the time in college and remembered today when I saw shrimp in the store!! It made 2 servings so now I have dinner for tomorrow too! The shrimp was only $4.00 and took about 5 minutes to cook so I will be doing this more often.
Of course, some Chobani, grapes, and chocolate chips! My favorite!

I mixed the shrimp in with the veggies to finish cooking all together.

Guess what dessert was?
Of course, some Chobani, grapes, and chocolate chips! My favorite!I rented The Memory Keepers Daughter today because I had a free movie rental from Blockbuster. I will watch it in a little bit on this snowy night. If I have the urge to snack again, I promise it will be only one!!!!!!!! Everyone can yell at me tomorrow if I have more than that!
Goodnight!

that non-fried rice looks great, isnt it funny how we can randomly forget dishes that were real go-to meals in our past!? im so curious about that dessert now too.
how was the movie? i read the book, and it started off good, but the plot kinda died about half way through…

That dinner looks great, and such a nicely executed alteration to a not-so-healthy dish!
Hope you enjoyed your movie!

Katie: Thanks for reading! I’m loving the phone so far!
Elise: There are so many dishes I used to make in college that I am trying to remember. I used to cook a lot more because my roommate was very good at it and we would have random cooking nights. It was also easier because I got home a lot earlier from class. Now when I get home at 8 or 9 at night, I just like to use the microwave. It is much tastier to cook on the stove I must say!
I never read the book but I thought the movie was really good! I would definitely recommend it!
