Shrimp & Asparagus in Creamy Pesto Sauce over Pasta


When I get tired of the same dish, I tweak it by adding anything I feel like eating that day. 😄 I know I am not the only one? Am I? I grew up eating vegetables and I do love them. When we go out in a restaurant, I always pick a dish with a lot of vegetables in it.
I am guilty of using instant sauce, it's from a packet. I cannot copy how to make it myself. I do grow the main ingredient on the sauce but I'm not good on taste and make it myself. I know someone that can do that. But not me. I am talentless hahaha.

Cooked the pasta according to the box direction. Then I cooked the divined/shelled shrimp (1/2 lb) with butter, set aside and saute the asparagus in the same pan with a little olive oil. I mixed the packet sauce with milk and olive oil (in a saucepan) simmer until thicken (make sure you stir). And I mixed everything together. Viola! Dinner!

Paksiw & Strawberry Banana Smoothie

This is my FTF entry for this week. Paksiw (sour broth) frozen baby bonito (tulingan). I settled for frozen ones, because this is very hard to find in my area. Always eaten with ton of rice...lol I don't have any other vegetables to mix with it but the pepper. I was lazy to go out (shopping) with the heat we are having. And for dessert; strawberry banana smoothie. I was weeding my vegetable garden today and I was sweating a lot. What a nice drink to have! Very filling (sweet) and refreshing after soaking under a hot sun. For more FTF images, just follow the image below.

Like the title says, this is my second batch of LeAnn Ralph 2 hours cinnamon rolls. I made this over the weekend not knowing my in laws are coming. Yes, for the very first time, they tasted it. My mother in law, of course never touched it, and scold my husband that what he is eating is bad (we knew it). He did not argue because he knew that his mother enjoy arguing about anything. This is from LeAnn Ralph cookbook "Rural Route 2 Cookbook", thank you so much for sharing this recipe with the public. Just like she said, my family expect it from me...lol.
