After a weekend where I indulged in a few too many tacos, because Cinco de Mayo and all, I am definitely craving some lighter dinners this week. We tend to have salmon almost every week and I am always looking for new flavor combinations to switch things up so we don't get tired of eating it. Recently I have been slightly obsessed with miso, so I decided to make a marinade for the salmon that highlights the delicious miso flavor that I am loving so much! My easy miso glazed salmon is the perfect healthy weeknight dinner served alongside your favorite veggie for a super quick and delicious meal!
Yesterday I read a review from a mom on Amazon about my First Bites cookbook being "too healthy" and let it get me down. I mean I am happy that her complaint was that the food was too healthy (she even admits that the recipes are not hard to make), but it bugged the heck out of me that she gave it two stars and messed up my ratings based upon the fact that it was healthy, which is what I wanted the book to be by the way. I just didn't/don't understand who would take the time to write that when it doesn't help anyone involved, especially because most of my cookbook purchases are bought by moms who in fact want to cook healthy food for their kiddos! Needless to say, I am waking up with a clear head this morning and that woman's review has only added fuel to my fire to keep doing what I am doing. She actually just re-confirmed that what I am doing is helping people. There is an unhealthy food epidemic in our country so if I can add a little healthy back into the mix then I am going to do it! My healthy blackened salmon cobb salad is just the kind of salad that is full of healthy ingredients, but tastes amazing too!
Happy Monday guys and gals. It's week two of the new year and I know most of you have committed to eating healthier, or lighter, or are doing Whole 30, or Weight Watchers or something to that effect. And I also know that it can be intimidating and you run out of ideas and the thoughts of weeknight healthy meals can be daunting so I am here to help you. After the holidays I can tell you that me and my family were more than ready to get back into our routine in more than one ways, but mostly in our diet! Give me all of the healthy foods please and give them to me now! Who is with me? My quick and easy Asian Salmon Packets are going to be your new favorite weeknight meal that your whole family will approve of!
Easy recipes have been saving my life lately. Parks is officially on the move and getting into everything! I almost always eat my breakfast and lunch standing up in between chasing him around the house and needless to say, this mama is whooped by the end of the day. Pouring a glass of wine is sometimes all the energy I have left in me...truth. I make salmon once a week because, number one it is so good for you, and number two it can be ready in 12 minutes! That's why my recipe for easy salmon on the stove is perfect for any night of the week and especially for tired mamas.
