Sesame Salmon and Noodles

Mmmm.... don't you just love salmon?! It was on sale this past week so I picked up a couple of packages and wanted to try something out of the norm. We all like Asian-influenced food so when I saw Sesame Salmon with Noodles I knew it was worth a try. I changed the recipe up some based on what we had in the fridge and pantry.

I used were Shanghai Noodles, at least I think that's what they are called, but you could use ramen noodles or even rice. The green peas came straight from my uncle's garden. My cousin had hand delivered them during Hurricane Igor. It was only now that I used them, but they kept fresh and tasted great.

Myself & Millard liked the meal although we thought that the sesame seeds were a little overpowering. Christian loves anything that consists of seafood so it was a bit hit with him and Alexander, as you can tell, loved the snow peas.

Next time I think that I'd like to make a little extra marinade to reduce and pour over the noodles or even the salmon.

Grilled Buttermilk Chicken w/ Salad

I am always looking for new recipes and last month my cousin emailed me the link to Grilled Buttermilk Chicken. I've had fried chicken soaked in buttermilk before, but this was a leaner idea. It was very easy. Saturday morning I arranged the chicken in a shallow baking dish and marinaded them in the buttermilk mixture. I turned them occasionally until dinner time. Then Millard took care of the grilling. They turned out nice. I didn`t use as much garlic as was called for, but perhaps I could`ve. Grilled Buttermilk Chicken Serves 8 Hands-On Time: 10m Total Time: 1hr 50m Ingredients 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 8 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon paprika kosher salt and black pepper 6 pounds bone-in chicken pieces Directions In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper.

Chocolate Pudding with Strawberries

Today was grocery day. I shopped the sales fliers and came home with some lovely looking strawberries. I knew they would go great with the Fat Free Jello Pudding that we already had in the pantry. I prepared the pudding with 1% milk and spooned 1/2 cup into each dessert dish. I washed and sliced the strawberries and layered them on top and lastly added a heaping tablespoon of cool whip on top. A very simple and low fat, low cal dessert and oh boy was it ever delicious! For dinner we had Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Coleslaw. We tried Renee's Salad Dressing for the first time tonight and it was very good. Overall our meal was about 4 carbs which was perfect!

What is a healthy breakfast?

Ok so I have to admit that breakfast at our household during school days had been very rushed and not so healthy. I would always let Christian pick out the oh so common cereal box that we all see advertised on TV. I'd pour a heap of sugary cereal with 2% milk into a bowl and set it on the table. I've obviously been slacking and taking the easy, unhealthy way out. Breakfast is referred to as the most important meal of the day, but somehow I don't think that a bowl full of sugar is what they are talking about. Breakfast is supposed to refuel my child and help boost his brain power for a busy day at school. Recently I've been making a better attempt to start Christian's day out with a healthier meal. I am keeping on my track of incorporating more fruits and because we have a super-sized box of cornflakes in the pantry I figured we'd have to use them up first. At a closer look at the labeling though I realized that the cornflakes aren't so bad compared to
