Please allow me to whine for a second. And please allow me to whine with full knowledge that all of things are relatively small and, yes, I know things could be worse. I’ve had things worse. Lots worse. I don’t want things to be bigger or worse, but I’d love for some of these to be gone too.

• I’m dealing with a painful skin infection that has disturbed my week & set me back. And it means I can’t wear my favorite capris, which is significant enough to mention.
• My desk looks like a paper avalanche hit it.
• We’ve been to the store MULTIPLE TIMES and yet we still keep leaving without dishwasher detergent.
• I have a stack of library book that are now a week overdue — and I didn’t read any of them.
• My favorite coffee mug broke.
• I’ve started spotting ants in my bathroom (in my shower of all places), which is where we had a major ant problem last summer.
• I haven’t cooked since last Thursday. Today is Wednesday.

It’s life, it happens. I’m actually a fairly positive person and most of this stuff happens and I go with the flow {somewhat}. And I always believe that even in those annoying/frustrating moments, that things could be worse. I can actually read that list and see a few positives from these negatives.

Except that ants. I see no positives in ants.

To give me at least one #MomVictory and to get this Wednesday back under control, I planned a dinner that was so easy, but yet had all the ingredients that I knew my family would love (well, except one that doesn’t eat shrimp). I mean, when you see how easy this dinner is, you might laugh. It’s okay, I did. But I’m proud of it and hey, all the flavors work well together and it’s a great weeknight meal. Can’t beat that.

You might be wondering about the shrimp since that could potentially be the most time-consuming part of this meal. Well, it’s really easy. This girl that hasn’t-cooked-in-almost-a-week wasn’t going to bread her own shrimp tonight. And you don’t have to either. Just pick up a package of SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp, deep-fry or oven bake, and it’s ready to go for your salad. While you can use your favorite dressing, I recommend the Honey-Dijon Dressing I’ve included below (I shake it up in a mason jar).
