French onion soup last night for a better mood

Mood: Hawaiian Pork Kebabs 🏖️

Marinate overnight a pound of chopped boneless pork loin to a mixture of 1/3 cup of soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Chop 2 bell peppers, 1/2 pineapple, and an onion and assemble in skewers with the marinated pork. Grill for 10-12 mins or until temp is 145f. If no grill, roast in oven on baking sheet at 400f for 18 mins, flip once.

Enjoy! :)

Married the shrimp from the shrimp taco recipe last night and the strawberry feta cheese salad recipe (sans the cukes and of course the steak) from last week ;)

Good morning and Happy (manic) Monday to all! :)

Berry Smoothie Bowl

Chuck Roast and sweet potatoes.

Tacos should be good any day! :) My deconstructed (because the shells cracked) and spiced shrimp taco 🌮
Toss to coat the deveined shrimp with a tbsp of avo oil, 3 minced garlic and a tbsp of taco seasoning. Heat a tbsp of avo oil and cook shrimp for 3-4 mins each side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over shrimp. Fill shells with shrimp and your choice of toppings (found avocado, cherry tomatoes and a few lettuce in the fridge). Enjoy! :)

Strawberry feta cheese salad and steak for lunch ❤️

Mix 8 strawberries (sliced), 1/2 cup of sliced red onions, 3 oz feta cheese, 4 cups spinach, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1 cucumber (diced) and maple vinaigrette in a big bowl.
Season steak the way you like it, cook 4 mins each side.

***i prefer my steak slices to not look so pink but still tender so I browned the slices for 30 sec.
