Shrimp Pasta Salad....



Hey I know it's been a while since I did my last post (my apologies). Well just know that I've been very busy being a mom,wife, etc. I will be posting more now because I have partnered up with Starbrille from livinglifeasstar.blogspot.com and a few of our coworkers on a business venture (we will talk more later about it). For now lets talk pasta, I love making pasta anything (still learning)and my go to is my shrimp pasta. 
Ingredients:
 3 Bags of  shrimp(small)
3 Boxes of  Garden Rotoni
3 peppers (orange, red, and yellow) 
1 Cucumber
4 Small tomatoes (as many as you want)
2 Tbsp. of butter 
1 Tbsp. of  Minced onions and Salt
2 Tbsp. of  Italian Seasoning, Black pepper, Garlic powder, Olive Oil and Old Bay
1 Bottle of  Italian Dressing (or how ever much you want)
Olives 
Shredded  and Grated Parmesan 
Parsley (as much as you want) 
1 Tin Pan (whatever size you want) 




First, boil your water for your noddles , Then put  2 Tsp. of  Olive Oil in the water so your noodles wont stick. *boil the noodles for 10-12 minutes




While that's going put the shrimp in a pot with a cap full of water (the frozen shrimp will melt and that will help cook the shrimp, but make sure you empty some of the water out so it won't boil your shrimp). Then use 1 Tbsp. of Old Bay and butter into the pot and put a lid on to stem it. Let it steam until it turns pink and curl up. 
*Get the bag that is already deveined, tail-off,and peeled much easy to deal with.  




Then chop up (mince) your veggies ( I chop them small because I don't like chunky vegetables)
and place them in the tin pan. 



Once you drain the noddles, let both the shrimp and the noodles cool off. Also, place it in the tin pan. 
After you stir it all together put all the seasonings in. Once it's to your liking put the shredded /grated Parmesan cheese, black olives and stir it together. At last put the bottle of  Italian dressing and mix it all together. Then serve!!!!



Until next time.....Smooches!!!!

My Bday....


Last weekend I celebrated my birthday. I turned 27 years old .... getting close to 30 yikes!!!! I spent it with family and friends. My husband, kids, mother-in-law and I celebrated during the week with crab legs (my favorite). My wonderful mother-in-law woke up that Saturday and made me (and the rest of the family) a birthday breakfast. Then later we met up with family and friends. We went to Nantucket Reef our new favorite restaurant and Sip 'N paint at VisArts both are located in Rockville,Md. Then on yesterday my lovely coworkers decorated my desk and gave me gifts as well. I was very thankful and very happy because everyone that played a part made me feel very special. So here are some pictures from the events and the past of me!!!!!!!!!!






























Until next time......Smooches!!!!!!!

Bantu Knots......


One day my daughter came to me and ask if I could do Bantu Knots in her hair. I got so excited because I always wanted to do her hair like this, but she never really liked it. So to my surprise she finally asked me and I got so excited. This is my go to hair style when I don't want to do anything to my hair for a while. I shampooed and condition her hair first. And then the journey continue......


Then I massage in extra virgin olive oil and also comb it out. 



.
Then I part it into sections and I put Cantu curl activator cream, Ecostyler gel w/Argan oil, and Blue magic grease. 

Once I put the products on the section I two strand twist her hair. 

I twist the hair one at a time, then I take the hair and roll it into a ball, while in the process I grease the scalp as I go.  

After I'm done I spray Olive oil and then WALA!!!!!!!!




So hopefully you get inspired to try this hairstyle for yourself. 
Until next time..........Smooches!!!!!!!!!!
