Tried & True Tuesday - T&T Tuesday


So I am thinking of starting this thing on Tuesday where I put some of the tried and true recipes pinned or found off of Pinterest. I know sometimes those recipes look great but we wonder if they are worth it, if the family loved it and my biggest thing during the school year SIMPLE and healthy.

Well tonight we found a WINNER and I can honestly say this recipe will be added to our rotation (we didn't even have a rotation until tonight and I said it was in the rotation :-) for the entire summer every two weeks or so! Tim must have said 5 times while scarfing it down that it was so good and one of the best things I had made lately - which between us isn't saying much because the cooking has been scarce come end of school craziness and traveling.

I first got an email about the recipe from my Aunt Besty. I had been meaning to try it with the shrimp we still had in the freezer. So thanks to her and seeing it on Pinterest again it reminded it was the perfect night for broccoli and shrimp.

This recipe was a HIT. It was simple, easy, healthy and again the whole family ate it. I served chicken to the kids as well but they did try the shrimp. The broccoli was gone! And we served it over brown rice. Not to mention the house smelled delicious and my husband thought I worked my butt off!

Good idea. So often so many of those recipes on pinterest look good and then you try them and they are not what you think. I will have to give this one a try...and I think I can actually eat it right now so even better!
