Shrimp Pasta a la Kim

I went over to Kim's for dinner a few weeks ago to help her prepare for a baby shower (see all the deets here) and she made a fabulous easy shrimp pasta dish. I was amazed at how good it was and she whipped it up in only about ten minutes! So I must share!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of Italian dressing (just eyeball it to your liking)
1 can artichoke hearts (drained and rinsed)
1 package of mushrooms
1/2 bag of frozen uncooked shrimp
angel hair pasta, fetuccine noodles, or your favorite pasta

On the stove top put the italian dressing in the pan and stir in your artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink and the mushrooms are soft. In a separate pot, boil your noodles. Drain noodles, poor shrimp sauce on top, and ENJOY! :)

This dish is super easy and it can easily be altered to your favorite ingredients! Who knew Italian dressing would make such an awesome sauce over pasta?!

Latest Music Obsession

New beau (more on that later;)) was kind enough to let me copy his new Jason Aldean "My Kind of Party" CD and I'm OBSESSED! I love Jason Aldean and I didn't think his last CD could be topped but this one is just as good. I love CDs that you can listen to the entire thing instead of just skipping to the two songs that are actually good.

Loveeeee his new song "Country Boy's World". Check it out on youtube. You won't be sorry ;)

Book Review



Mama gave me the book "Heaven is for Real" and I cannot put it down, for real. It is soooo good!! I cannot wait to get home tonight to finish it. Yes, I'm that much of a nerd. Seriously though, I started reading it on Saturday afternoon at the pool, read a little Sunday night and last night and will be finishing it today. It's a super easy read and it's one of those books that you just can't put down. Now if you know me, I tend to be a bit pessimistic/skeptical of things but if this little boy really went to heaven and heaven is really like he describes it then oh boy do we have a reason to live the best life on earth so we can all get there!! :)
