305 calories Garlic Shrimp Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach
Ingredients:
-6 oz (about half a box) of Barilla whole wheat Spaghetti
-3 tsp olive oil
-3 oz shrimp (15-20 shrimp)
-3 cloves garlic
-14 oz of Mushrooms, any type
-2 cups of raw spinach
First- start boiling some water in a pot. Then- put the olive oil in a pan and heat, the mince the garlic and saute. Once the garlic starts to smell good, cut up the mushrooms and add. Saute some more.
When the water boils, add the pasta.
Once the mushrooms are about halfway done, add the shrimp to the same pan with the garlic and the mushrooms. Then, add the spinach and put a lid on the frying pan so the spinach is pressed down a bit. The spinach will cook in just a minute or two.
Drain the pasta and add it to the frying pan and fold it in with the garlic, mushrooms and spinach.
Serve! and if you want, top with a little shake of some parmesan cheese!

Recipe: (God Love Alton Brown!)
Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins
Total Time: 1 hr 42 min
Prep 20 min
Inactive 1 hr 0 min
Cook 22 min
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup canola oil
2/3 cup agave nectar
2/3 cup rice milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, and cinnamon. Add the oil, agave nectar, rice milk, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth. Using a plastic spatula, gently fold in the blueberries just until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into each prepared cup, almost filling the cup. Bake the muffins on the center rack for 22 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees after 15 minutes. The muffin will bounce slightly when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean.
Let the muffins stand for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
