Omega-3 Yummy

Go Rangers!!  Watching baseball with Chris tonight during dinner!

I was so ready to go home & start cooking right after work so I could sit back and relax.  I was thinking all day what I could cook and  dip into my yummy spinach hummus!

Spicy Salmon patty on a bed of greens

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of salsa (hot)
  • 1 Tablespoon hot sauce

Spinach Hummus makes the best dressing

Dinner was simply delightful but Chris was not too keen on green hummus so he skipped out & went w/ making salmon burgers.  One day I think he’ll want to try my tasty hummus!

Now, I’m flipping through ”Next Top Model” and Rangers game!

Chris went to watch TV in the other room, my channel flipping is too much for him.  He did confuse me by watching Rangers game and flipping to Boston game earlier. :)


Do you know the health benefits of salmon?

Salmon is low in calories and saturated fat, yet high in protein, and a unique type of health-promoting fat, the omega-3 essential fatty acids. As their name implies, essential fatty acids are essential for human health but because they cannot be made by the body, they must be obtained from foods. Fish contain a type of essential fatty acid called the omega-3 fatty acids.

Holy Yum!

Tomorrow is my first day of Vegan Challenge, I’m joining Lindsey to eat Vegan for the month.  I’m only doing Thursdays every week. Give me a chance to explore and try new recipes!  Wish me luck

I started my morning off sleeping in and on purpose.  This girl didn’t get to bed till after 1am.  I woke up and had a large banana and did a workout.  I was pumped up for 45 minutes of The Firm:Total Body Crunch & got to moving my booty.
