Shrimp with Indian Spiced Potatoes

Here we have the shrimp and potatoes brigade reporting for duty. The two with shrimp were for me, the one without shrimp was for G (he's vegetarian). Another yummy, easy recipe. It calls for 2 one-pound bags of the potatoes, but unless you are planning on feeding eight people, only use one bag and just under a pound of shrimp. It says four servings, but I got four servings out of using one bag of potatoes! I think that's a misprint. I mean, you can't season two bags of shredded potatoes with only one Tablespoon of curry. You won't taste anything! I used the one Tablespoon with one bag it seemed just right.

Penne with Pea Pesto

Wondering what to do with that rock-solid bag of peas stuffed in the back of your freezer? Try penne with pea pesto! This was so easy and quick to make, and very delicious.

Hot Lunch Bookshelf

Books are Fun came to my office last week and I picked up a copy of Classic Rachel Ray 30-Minute Meals. I find Rachel Ray to be thoroughly annoying, but I have to admit her recipes can be very easy and good, so I was glad to find this book for half-off because I was most likely never going to buy anything by her at full price! For some reason they are really try to get rid of this book - the list price is even marked down on Amazon.

Not sure why it's in the mark-down bin - it's a pretty good cookbook! It's loaded with recipes - sometimes two on a page. I've tried the Veggie Lo-Mein and the Sesame Noodles, and both were really easy and tasty. If you are looking for a cheap gift for Christmas or a basic all-purpose cookbook for yourself, I recommend getting a copy of this (just try to ignore the "Yum-O" T-shirt).

Brownie Thins

I haven't made these brownie thins, but they sound really good!
