Thai Peanut with Noodles and Shrimp

 This is a " Semi homemade" meal.  As many of you know, my husband and I have been on a weight loss journey the past 8 months. I have lost 60 pounds and Harry 69 pounds. To keep things interesting I have found things to make for dinner that keep the boredom away. This is a little meal we have that I make our own by adding a few extra ingredients. 

1 Package of Miracle Noodle Keto Meal Thai Peanut. ( Sprouts market sells this, as well as Amazon)

22 large to jumbo shrimp, thawed, cleaned and shelled.

1 T  Avocado oil

1 heaping tablespoon of PB-Fit powdered peanut butter

Water to mix.

First add enough water to the peanut butter powder to make it creamy, almost like melted peanut butter would look like, not runny but smooth. Set this aside for later.

In a skillet place the oil and once at medium heat add your shrimp.

While shrimp cooks rinse and drain the noodles that come with the package. I like to cut the noodles up with scissors so they don't clump making it hard to serve them.

 Once shrimp is almost done, add the sauce packet that comes with the package, mix with shrimp, then add the noodles. Mix well... now add the PB-fit you made earlier. Mix this in stirring and on low heat allow to finish cooking, about 5 to 8 minutes stirring every so often.

Cooks note: If you like a little spice, Saute the shrimp in chili infused oil, just a little, and add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes at the beginning. So yummy! 

Serve over steamed broccoli ( optional ) This makes 2 servings divide the shrimp between each.

Hobo Burgers

 I was a Girl Scout, my sister was a Brownie. And my Mom was a Girl Scout Mother. We had a lot of fun, many activities I still remember, and cooking around the campfire was so much fun! Here is one of the recipes I remember and to this day make it. It's a fun dish to let the kids participate in.

1 pound of ground beef, or enough hamburger patties for each person to have.

4 cups each, raw potato slices, and carrot slices

2 cups of raw onion slices

1 T margarine, or butter

1 T water

Aluminum foil

Pull off a sheet of foil about 14 inches long. Place the hamburger pattie in the middle ( season with what ever you like). On top of the burger place the potatoes, then carrots, then onion slices. Add the water, and the table spoon of butter or margarine. Wrap the foil into a tight pouch. 

You can either bake for 20 minutes or until tender on campfire coals, or place pouches on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees until vegetables are tender and meat is browned.

Enjoy!  

Note: There are many variations, as you can add any vegetable you like, and even top the burger with cheese if you like. Get creative!
