This past weekend, I had the chance to pull out a product I have had for over a month and have been dying to use! My fiance and I cooked up this gigantic breakfast on Sunday which included pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. That may be normal for some people but we rarely have the time or patience to cook anything, not to mention we are teaching ourselves to cook and don’t know how to do much in the kitchen. Regardless, breakfast is a relatively simple meal for us …

1/2 tsp lemon juice
salt, pepper to taste

Shell and de-vein the shrimps (shelling is optional, I usually just buy a whole bag of frozen shrimp and use a handful. I take off the shell while eating. It’s messier but not too …

This is a great side that goes well with any type of pan fried fish or any variety of cutlets.
Place potatoes in a pot filled with water (try to get potatoes that are all roughly the same size so the cooking tie won’t vary as much). Boil water and cook potatoes until tender but not too soft (about 20 minutes for small potatoes).
Take potatoes out of the water and carefully peel them. If they are really small, you can leave them as they are, otherwise I would cut them up …
