Overnight Oats

So I follow a handful of blogs everyday and one of my favorites is Peanut Butter Fingers.  http://www.pbfingers.com/. She always has so many different workouts and recipes that I want to test out but one I have been wanting to try for a while are her overnight oats. They are perfect because you make them the night before then they are ready to go when you leave for work in the morning.

What you will need

Greek yogurt ( I used strawberry flavor)

handful of oats

almond milk

 

All you have to do is mix your yogurt, oats and milk. It will be watery looking but once it sits overnight it will turn......

 

thick and creamy. This is such a filling breakfast and very low in calories.

Cheesy Shrimp and Sausage Pasta

 

It has been a little while since I created a new recipe so last night I decided it was time for a little therapy. So I headed to the grocery store, actually two grocery stores, to get everything I would need.

 

What you will need

Spag. squash

turkey sausage

1/2 pound of peeled shrimp (that isn't all the shrimp in the picture)

unsweetened almond milk

1/3 less fat cream cheese

shredded parm cheese

oregano

parsley

salt and pepper

crushed red pepper

red pepper (sliced)

 

 

Cook your spag sqaush on 375'

 

Then start by cooking your red pepper and turkey sausage.

 

Once cooked add cream cheese (entire package), almond milk (about a cup), seasoning ( I used a lot of crushed red pepper) and parm cheese (1/2 of the bag). (don't had your shrimp yet)

Let cook on medium so that it will thicken. If it gets to thick just add more almond milk. Once the sauce is the thickness you like add your shrimp and the rest of the parm cheese. Let cook until shrimp is pink and cheese is melted.

 

Then serve over your spag. squash.

 



 

So tasty and easy. This is a dish I think everyone will love.
