Cheesy Shrimp Tortellini Alfredo Skille

Cheesy Skillet Shrimp & Tortellini made with jumbo shrimp combined with cheese tortellini in a cheesy tomato basil Alfredo sauce.

As you all know I don’t eat seafood, not even shrimp, but every once in a while I’ll add it into our weekly meals to give my family some variety. Last week, I was under the weather so most of my meals consisted of soup.

Towards the tail end of the week, I started to feel a little better and finally got up enough energy to actually make a meal for my family. They had been living off of frozen leftovers and whatever else they could find and make quickly (a.k.a. they ate a lot of soup too!).

I decided it was a good day to use the frozen shrimp I had and since I had purchased some tortellini when it was on sale recently.

Cowboy Meatloaf and Potato Casserole

Cowboy Meatloaf and Potato Casserole

I’m thinking about buying my first glue gun. I’ve never been a fan of DIY. Oh, I bought various things to try new craft projects like knitting, scrapbooking and jewelry making. But I’ve never bought a glue gun. For me it was about people with aprons and jars of brushes in a specially designed craft room.I never set out to take such a leap.

But my daughter wants to be Frieda Kahlo for Halloween. I need to make a headband with artificial flowers. After careful consideration, I think it’s time to buy a glue gun. I’m just wondering how long it will take before we remove the bed from the downstairs guest room and add a set of matching shelves and boxes.

When you put this grilled sausage and potato stew on the table, you won’t see any cowboys or cowgirls!

The genius trick to get two orchids from one plant

What’s better than an orchid to make the house bloom in winter? You can have 2 for the price of 1, let’s find out how! If phalaenopsis is so successful, it is thanks to its ability to adapt to the constant temperature (between 18 and 20°C) of our interiors.

Have an orchid at home

It is satisfied with a bright position  , without direct sunlight, less than one meter from a window. And, what’s more, he likes to be watered and fed at the same rate in any season! However, with a little attention, you can widen your choice to other genera: Zygopetalum, Oncidium, Miltoniopsis, Cattleya… These orchids have swellings or pseudobulbs at the base. These produce leaves and accumulate reserves from spring to autumn to flower in winter and stop their growth. You must therefore reduce watering and eliminate fertilizer when the profusion of flowers could tempt you to do the opposite!

Excess water is the main cause of   orchid death. Their roots, like sanitary pads, absorb the liquid even if it is too much for them! You need to give them time to dry and learn how to dose by weighing the crop pot: if it seems light, water it, if it seems heavy, wait.

Don’t forget to feed your orchids   : all year round for phalaenopsis and from spring to autumn for the others. A simple method is to add fertilizer every 15 days to the watering water, alternating one fertilizer for growth and another for flowers.
