I am going to start out this one with what I am planning on cooking tonight. I am hoping it's good.

Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 5 min
Level of Difficulty: Moderate

In this refreshing dish, the hot pasta will warm up the sauce sufficiently. Be careful not to overheat leftovers. You will 'cook' the sauce, and it could separate.




Ingredients

3 medium scallion(s), chopped
1 Tbsp fresh oregano, or 2 tsp dried
1 tsp lemon zest
3 oz feta cheese
1 cup(s) plain fat-free yogurt
14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes, drained
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
8 oz uncooked angel hair pasta
8 oz shrimp, medium-size, cleaned, peeled and deveined
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.


In a food processor, process scallions, oregano and lemon zest until scallions are finely minced. Add half the feta cheese, crumbling and reserving remaining feta in a small bowl. Add yogurt and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in diced tomatoes and reserved feta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.


Add shrimp to boiling water and cook until done, about 2 minutes (less if you are using small shrimp). Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and add to sauce. Do not drain water. When water returns to boil, add pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes. Combine with sauce and serve.


For some reason I have been in a Pasta mood. I don't know why I feel the need for those limpy noodles all covered in wonderful goodness. But so far I am doing wonderful with the different flavors of the sauces.

I put on a pants that I wear just to lounge around the house. They are made to be baggy from the get go. But, they have gotten snug from my weight gain. Well, I put them on today while I cleaned house and they were baggy in the rear and I so enjoyed that. I kept on shaking my butt and the kids just laughed. I know that this is only the beginning of going on week 4, but I feel great. Who would have guessed that I would feel so great with just this minimal of weight loss. It makes me want to do more, see more, be way more active. I can't wait to take Paris by storm. I will be looking forward to the walking we will have to do as well. And during that time, I don't believe I will be blogging because I don't know of the internet access we will have. So, Please don't give up on me if I am not here for 2 weeks.

And with that, I shall go. Mylunch is calling me.

Don cha hear it?
