Just some meals I've prepared :)

I've been cooking my own meals, instead of eating nasty processed food. It costs more this way, but has a much bigger payout! I'll explain the meals, too, in case anyone is curious on how to make them :) I've been on a super Cajun kick lately...it's just so freaking good.

Chicken Stir-Fry

This was one of my favorites to make...it is mostly veggies, but super amazing.

I used:
Thin-sliced chicken breasts
Broccoli (cut into florets)
1 whole white onion
1 bag of pea pods
1/2 bag of shredded carrots
garlic (i use a lot because i love it)
2 cans of water chestnuts
1 can sliced mushrooms
1 can baby corn
1 bag of sprouts
1 packet of stir-fry seasoning mix
soy sauce (I like the low-sodium kind)

Cook it all based on the seasoning mix's directions, serve over noodles or rice!


Cajun Shrimp Ramen

Super amazing, I love anything with shrimp! Me and my sister split this, so this is for 2 people.

16 jumbo uncooked shrimp (peeled)
1 clove of elephant garlic (my new best friend)
cajun seasoning, garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder
fresh parsley (added as garnish)
1 pack of ramen noodles (I didn't use the whole packet of seasoning, just a bit in the water it boiled in to give the noodles more flavor.


Mock-TGI Friday's Cajun Shrimp and Chicken Pasta

I love TGI Friday's (where I work) Cajun Shrimp and Chicken Pasta...but it's packed full of calories and fat (1026 calories!). Making it myself gets rid of the excess butter that restaurants use, as well as a lot of the fat and calories. I'm not saying this is the healthiest recipe, but everyone deserves to splurge every now and again. Here we go!

Chicken Breast (cut into strips)
Jumbo peeled shrimp
1 clove elephant garlic (seriously...amazing)
1 box fettuccine noodles
1/2 jar Newman's Own Low-Fat Alfredo sauce
 Cajun Seasoning

Cook the chicken, shrimp, garlic, and cajun seasonings while boiling the water for the noodles. Strain noodles, give them a quick rinse, put back in the pan with alfredo sauce and more cajun seasoning. add the shrimp and chicken and garlic, mix up, and enjoy. AMAZING!


Hope you guys enjoy this stuff, I know I did!
