BEST DINNER I'VE HAD IN AGES!!!

MaryEffingPoppins

OMG so yummy I had to share! Ok, so I love the Eat this not that books so i bought the Cook this not that book. I came across a delicious looking recipe. And exactly that it was! The kids LOVED it too! They even kept asking for some off of my plate after they finished theirs! lol Here is the recipe and nutritional info. PLEASE TRY! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!! (I took pictures but I don't know how to attach them to this recipe. :-( )

(From Cook This Not That: Kitchen survival guide. Pg. 232 & Pg. 301)

Honey- Mustard Salmon -370 calories, 21 g fat (6g saturated) 530 mg sodium-

1 Tbsp butter (I used Land O Lakes Light butter w/ Canola oil)
1 Tbsp Brown sugar
1 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
1/2 Tbsp Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the butter and brown sugar in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until the butter and sugar have melted together. Stir in the mustard, honey and soy sauce.

Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season the salmon w/ salt and pepper and add to the pan flesh side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until fully browned and flip. Brush w/ half of the glaze and place the pan in the oven until the salmon is firm and flaky. (But before the white fat begins to form on the surface), about 5 minutes. Remove, brush the salmon w/ more of the honey mustard, and serve w/ the asparagus.

Makes 4 servings/ Cost per serving: $2.77




Roasted Parmesan Asparagus - 45 calories, 4g fat (1g saturated) 330 mg sodium-

1 bunch asparagus (about 1/2 pounds)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp grated parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut off woody sections. Place the spears in a baking dish. Drizzle w/ olive oil. sprinkle w/ the parmesan, and season w/ salt and pepper: toss to coat. Roast until just tender, 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the asparagus and enjoy!!

What in the heck is bump???? I keep seeing it and every time I ask, nobody tells me! lol :-(

anytime you comment on a thread, it places that thread into your list of topics. It makes it more easily accessible for you to find. So people just say "bump" in order to "bookmark" the thread.

Another thing "bumping" does is place the topic on the top of the list on the discussions page, so the thread gets more attention.
