Since I work full-time I don’t have a lot of time to slave away in the kitchen preparing meals. Maybe one day when I grow up I will be able to do that. But for now it’s just not happening. Thank goodness for companies who make convenience products that can help out with dinner planning!
Today I made a super easy yet delicious meal using Zatarain’s Gumbo mix with Rice and a package of Frozen Shrimp. Most of the times when I make this I use chicken and hot smoked sausage along with shrimp. But today I only had shrimp in the house.
The box calls for 6 cups of water but I find that makes the gumbo too watery for my family's tastes so I only use 4 and a half cups. Also, I remove the tails from the shrimp and cut them into bite sized pieces so that we can have some in every spoonful. Follow the directions on the box and in less than 30 minutes you’ll be able to have yourself a bowl of yummy Shrimp Gumbo with Rice!
That’s what’s for dinner at Lil Nell’s, what’s for dinner at your house?

This is My Journal
I love to take care of my home and my family but because I have such a busy life I don't have the time or energy to do as many things as I would like to. I created this blog as an attempt to journal the changes I make to my home and the things that I do to make my family's life more enjoyable. It's going to be a lot of hard work but full of enjoyable learning experiences!
