Shrimp Tacos

This week’s meal was a steal from The Pioneer Woman’s blog. I really enjoy her recipes because she keeps it really simple or at least to me it is simple. A lot of time I’ll want to make something that I cannot find all the ingredients for.  

So this week’s new dish was Shrimp Tacos. They were overall simple fast, healthy and really tasty.

Here is a link to her recipe.  
The only I left out was the pico de gallo because I wasn't in the mood to make fresh and didn't like the looks of it at our local grocery store. I used frozen shrimp too but it seemed to turn out okay although I would have liked to use fresh shrimp. I also substituted the corn tortillas for whole wheat tortillas with a "fiesta" flavoring and I really enjoyed those. Everything else was what she used, I even found the same brand of tomato sauce which is rare in the these parts.

I would definitely recommend this recipe if you are looking to spice up taco night. Below is my version of the shrimp taco.

28 Before 29

I love lists. I make lists when I have housework to do, when I have something to plan, when I go to the grocery store and hell even when I am bored I make lists. I enjoy having a list because it is something tangible to make sure I am getting stuff done.

A popular list I see on the Internet is do “Current age things to do before next age”. Since I turned 27 last week I thought there is no better time for me to start a goal list before I turn 28. That is what this blog is about but I haven't really decided what I am gonna go. So this year I will achieve 27 things before March 5, 2013, as long as the world doesn't end, ;).

So here it is:

1. Visit Carlos Bakery from Cake Boss
2. Go to Batting Cages
3. Sew a Wearable Outfit (whether for me or someone else)
4. Take Cake Decorating Classes
5. Reconnect with at least 10 Old Friends
6. Go on a Tour of the Yuengling Brewery
7. Learn to Shoot Guns
8. Go out in State College
9. Take Hiking More Seriously
10. Cook One New Meal a Week
11. Read at Least 9 Books
12. Dedicate More Time to Blog
13. Go To a Concert
14. Make My Own Cupcake Flavor
15. Go to Broadway Show
16. Style My Hair More Often
17. Get a New Tattoo
18. Bake a Pie (really have never done it)
19. Go Camping
20. Start Biking Regularly
21. See a Movie Alone
22. Go on an Impromptu Road-trip around Pa
23. Rebuild My Savings
24. Print Every Roll of Film in the Box I found from High School
25. Join a Club or Try a New Activity I Never Done Before
26. Go to a Drag Show
27. Be Happy With Me and all my Awesomeness

I was gonna add meet Ryan Gosling to my list but that is more of a dream list so I'll settle for some

Hey, Girl throughout this year.

So most of my list are attainable things, physically where as the last goal is something I really need to work on. I am talking to a therapist right now and she tells me I need to do more positive self talk and push those mean thoughts about myself out of my head.

So here is to another year older and hopefully a little more wiser and happier.
