    We had chicken and sausage gumbo with brown rice. Got the recipe from Paula Deen on Food Network. I tweaked it a little to make it more healthy. It was very fulfilling and comforting.

    Baked salmon!! I got the individually packed fillets, topped with a little bit of butter, garlic, fresh dill and lemon juice. Baked 4 fillets at 375 for 30 minutes. Even my 3-year-old loved it. :)

    Baked Salmon with Peppers in a Merlot Reduction

    Sounds a lot fancier than it is. :D

    Bake the salmon as you normally would. Reduce a cup of Merlot and chicken broth in a skillet, throw in the veggies and simmer for 10 min. Serve.

    oh we might have a winner here... I made Pico de gallo yesterday, it needs more tomatos added too it, but this sounds really good so far! :) I hope the replies keep coming... It will completely help me plan my thursdays... (BF at school means I can eat fish without hearing that the hosue smells bad lol. Also means I can eat most anything without having to cater to someone else too....)
  • I have my niece and nephew over so we're making pizzas!

    Boo! The pic I have of the calorie breakdown is WAAAAY to big.


    Either way, when you make the pizzas yourself they're way better for you than the frozen ones. Also, you get to pick the toppings!

    I had some black bean and pepper salad with cilantro and lime left over from the day before, I cooked some quinoa, cut up some tomatoes and mixed it all together...yum! Anything with that lime and cumin tang is good for me!
