Dinner Inspiration

Shrimp (or) Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo


Last night I made this delicious recipe for Marlin and I! It seems like I keep on getting stuck on the same meals every week. I was desperate to try something new so I got on Pinterest and looked for some good chicken dinner recipes! 
So here is what I came up with! A Fettuccine Alfredo recipe made with some pretty simple ingredients! The only things you might not have on hand are the chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. This recipe I found on Pinterest is just for the noodles and sauce, but I decided to add shrimp to mine! It's not hard to add your choice of meat to this yummy dish! Chicken would be amazing as well! What I did was cook the noodles, Alfredo, and shrimp all at the same time and when everything was finished I mixed them together and topped it with fresh parsley! It was super easy and so yummy! I can hardly wait to eat the leftovers today!
For the Fettuccine Alfredo recipe go to the link below! You won't be sorry you tried this! Is just as great as ordering it in a restaurant.

My spring activities

               What I have been doing this spring!

I've been enjoying a wonderful springtime. My life is full of gardening, volleyball, cooking healthy meals, and feeling our baby wiggling and kicking inside me everyday!!

Oregano
This year I started growing some herbs and started them from seeds. Growing my oregano in the window has worked really well not to mention it looks great as a window plant! After I started the seeds I transplanted them into this used pickle jar! They are growing great in there and the jar looks great as a planting pot in my window!

Oregano

Marlin made me a flower bed out of a log a few weeks ago so I've been able to really enjoy some flower gardening! I must say I enjoy growing flowers even more than I do vegetables! There is something about flowers that intrigues me and I love being surrounded by them!

Volleyball seems to be in full
force again now that the weather
is nice! I'm still enjoying playing 
even though it is getting a bit
harder to move around! I hope
 to play until I am absolutely no
 help to my team anymore!


Here are some pictures of  Marlin and some friends playing 
competitive volleyball!!
