Oven Baked Shrimp

If you are on Pinterest, you have most likely seen the lemon butter shrimp picture that’s been going around. For lunch today, I made my own version, check out the recipe below!

Oven Baked Shrimp

Ingredients:
8-10 shrimp (I used jumbo deveined, shell on)
1/2 medium sweet onion, diced
1/2 c. cherry tomatoes
1/2 lemon, sliced into thin rounds
1/2 stick of butter (4 Tbs)
2-3 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 Tbs minced garlic
3/4 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley flakes

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Melt butter, pour into 9″ round cake pan.
3. Add in diced onion, garlic, and tomatoes, stir to coat in butter.
4. Spread lemon slices around the inside of the pan.
5. Place shrimp in single layer in pan, flipping once to coat both sides.
6. Sprinkle with Old Bay, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, remove and toss with pasta to serve.

This makes an easy, delicious meal and can easily be split between two people. You could also do an Italian style with capers, artichoke, and parmesan, or even Cajun with peppers and cayenne! I’m going to play around with the recipe in the next few days and see how it comes out if you substitute broth for the butter, I’ll be sure to link up to that recipe as well.

(Shhh.... Sneaky) Sloppy Joes

Want to bulk up a simple classic with some veggies? Try my Sneaky Sloppy Joes. Sauté some onions, garlic (two staples I put in just about any skillet dish), finely diced squash, finely chopped spinach. You can also add finely diced carrots, bell peppers of assorted colors, brocolli, and whatever else you can sneak in to the pan! I do all this before browning the ground turkey. Then, prepare as you normally would, whether your sloppy joe sauce is canned, enveloped, or made-from-scratch (c'mon!). I've been packing mine with extra veggies for over a year, and no one is none the wiser. Yet. (Please don't show this to my family... please?) This recipe is also posted under my Big Oven account. :o)

100+ Sensory Table Ideas for Your Preschooler

As a preschool teacher, I’m always looking for ways to spice things up in my classroom, including new and fun sensory table ideas. Thankfully, an amazing coworker created a master list many moons ago, and shared it with me as I was starting out. Whether you’re a preschool teacher, or a parent of a preschooler, you’ll appreciate the diversity of a good sensory table. Sensory tables provide an opportunity for preschoolers to experience a wide array of fine motor skills, as well as some gross motor skills, all a sensory-rich environment. Don’t have a full-blown sensory table for your home or your classroom? Remember, water/sand tables make great sensory tables, too! Also, the sensory table ideas listed below can be mixed and matched for whole new levels of experience. Toss in tools to assist in manipulating the items in the table, such as cups and measuring spoons for pouring, tongs/kid-friendly tweezers, and scissors for snipping and cutting. Also, you...
