We were running low on all groceries, so I really just threw some shrimp and mushrooms into some butter and oil, boiled up some whole wheat noodles and tossed it all together with capers and Italian parsley.
I have made a more conscious effort to use more fat in my cooking for two reasons: a) more flavor, and b) your body needs fat to burn fat. There is proof in this because I have lost two pounds since introducing fat back into my diet. Score!

And fat makes you stay full longer.
I love capers. I think I need some capers soon.
Yay for fat! :)
Garlic butter (full recipe):
8 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 tablespoons kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Heat the oil on relatively low heat, and cook the garlic/salt/pepper until it's cooked but don't brown it. Pour over the butter and stir it up!
Sometimes I add some freshly chopped Italian parsley to the butter too.
