Meal Plan Monday

Romans 8:31
If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

Romans 8:38-39
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Best wishes for a wonderful week!!

Shrimp Scampi Stuffed Potatoes

4 large baking potatoes
olive oil
kosher salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash and dry potatoes. Prick potatoes on each side with a fork.
Rub potatoes with olive oil; sprinkle with kosher salt.
Place potatoes directly on oven rack with a  foil covered pan on a lower rack to catch any drips.
Bake potatoes until they are tender, approximately 1 hour. You can test for doneness by gently squeezing the middle of the potato, while wearing an oven mitt. If it gives in easily to your squeeze, it is done.
When potatoes are done, remove from the oven to a baking rack, allowing them to cool a bit so that they can be handled.

While potatoes are cooling, prepare shrimp scampi:

1 lb. bag frozen, peeled and de-veined shrimp, thawed
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped garlic (fresh or jarred)
garlic salt to taste

Heat butter, olive oil, and garlic in a large skillet.
Add shrimp and sauté until pink. If the shrimp is pre-cooked, just heat it through. Add garlic salt to taste.

Stuff potatoes with shrimp scampi. You will need these additional ingredients:

1½  cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
½  cup sour cream
salt and black pepper, to taste
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Cut each potato in half lengthwise.
Scoop out potato middles into a medium size mixing bowl.
Set potato skin shells on a baking sheet.
Pour shrimp scampi into mixing bowl with potato middles. Gently combine shrimp scampi with potatoes.
Add 1 cup of the cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper; stir gently to incorporate.
Scoop potato and shrimp mixture into potato shells.
Sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Bake filled shells for 10-15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne!
