I’m a lazy cook. I aspire to have the motivation to take cutesy photos like some of my favorite fitness/food bloggers of everything I eat. But let’s face it, my food is not that interesting. I’m too lazy to carry my camera when I’m running, and I just…don’t really care to ask everyone around me to take pictures of me. Thus, my transition to a full on healthy living blogger has been a little slow. Not to mention there needs to be some rebranding here. including a new header for the blog eventually, and just…yeah. I’m slow but it’s coming along (don’t worry the book reviews won’t stop!)
Maybe I’m not meant to be the kind of healthy living blogger (which I’m trying to transition to) that I aspire to be. However, whenever I have a great meal, or a great workout, you can bet I’ll be sharing it with you guys. Seriously.
Last night, I whipped up this bad boy. I wasn’t feeling a huge meal, since it was so gawd awfully hot outside, and the heat makes me nauseous. I was originally going to do shrimp kebabs but I forgot to pick up skewers on our grocery shop last night (FAIL) so instead I improvised and used these bad ass noodles I grabbed because they looked interesting. Lesson: going grocery shopping when hungry causes you to grab random food. No lie. Thankfully this turned out to be a pretty cost effective dinner, so go random purchases that weren’t on my list!
Sweet and Sour Pineapple Shrimp with Vegetables
1/2 lb shrimp (i think there were 12?)
1/2 c. pineapple chunks
2 peppers (1 red, 1 green) sliced
1/4 c. onion sliced (i used half of a sweet vidalia onion)
1T sesame (or vegetable oil) oil
1 package noodles (I used Yakisoba stirfry noodles)
I followed the directions on the back of the noodles package – chopping the veggies, heating up the noodles in the microwave for 1 min to separate them. Heated the shrimp first for about 3 mins (ours was frozen because I’m cheap and got the frozen easy to peel shrimp which was only like $3 for half a pound! win!) added the vegetables (peppers and onions) cooked for about 2 minutes, and then added the noodles, separating them further with a fork, stirred them up adding the included seasoning and about 1/4c water.
Delicious AND nutritious!!! Seriously. You could probably sub the stir fry noodles (which were seriously only like $2) for rice noodles, or any other type of noodles depending on what you have
