My sister told me about this recipe a long time ago so I thought I would post it on here. I’ve been having a hard time remembering what recipes I have tried, so it really helps to blog them and look back on them. Now that school is starting, I am really going to have to rely on Pinterest and blogs to get my meals all organized!

At Trader Joes, they sell a Reduced Fat Brownie mix where all you need to add is yogurt and bake the brownies for 22 minutes on 350 degrees.

To make it a little more “healthy”, I’ve been meaning to use up my greek yogurt in the fridge. I admit using plain yogurt isn’t as good. I have tried it with honey greek yogurt, which makes it sweeter, but my favorite is the blueberry greek yogurt with it. It gives it more flavor and is pretty good stuff.

Just wanted to throw that recipe out there if you have a Trader Joe’s near you. Thankfully, we have had races or trips that have brought me to a Trader Joe’s at least every few weeks. Is it sad that I look one up whenever I go out of town? 🙂

We don’t get paid until Saturday so I have to be a little creative as to how I am going to make dinner. Mike and I usually fend for ourselves when it comes to lunch and breakfast, so I really only have to worry about one meal a day. Thankfully, last night I was able to run up to Chick-Fil-A for some dinner, which makes it easier on me! No dishes! Yay!

On Sunday I missed out on my mother in laws cooking (that I was totally depending on!) due to the fact that we slept through dinner, so I had to check out what was in the fridge and freezer and noticed a frozen bag of shrimp and some corn tortillas.

I came up with these little beauties. I sautéed some shrimp in a skillet with a little bit of garlic olive oil and added a dash of garlic salt to give flavor. The best part of shrimp is that it holds flavor really well (just like mushrooms). I warmed up some corn tortillas, added some shrimp sauce, and put some cole slaw mix as a topping. So easy and so good.

Now here’s the best part. I was able to make a really good sauce made with random ingredients from the fridge. I originally was going to try salsa, but we were out of it, so this is what I came up with:
