A Couple Quickies;)

The other night, I was up late working on some mixed media pieces and I got hungry. I grabbed a can of Trader Joe's Wild Caught Salmon and whipped up a quick plate of salmon fish sandwiches with some soy and flax seed chips and a crunchy organic pickle.


This plate was a pretty quick meal to prepare. My wife sauteed some asparagus in some unsalted organic butter, then added a dash of real salt once it was plated and a squeeze of lemon. The salmon steaks we had were Chinchurri marinated wild caught salmon steaks from Trader Joe's also. The red organic potatoes were fried up in safflower oil with some chopped organic leek and topped with a dollop of Daisy brand sour cream.

Tried my hand at a red pasta sauce again with the new ingredients we're using. This time, I used yellow crookneck squash in the sauce. It came out pretty tasty. We started with a simple dessert, and served the noodles and sauce with an organic baby mixed greens salad topped with roma tomatoes, red onions, goat fetta cheese and a balsamic & olive oil drizzle.

Salmon Dinner





Still going strong. We had wild caught salmon steaks last night. I prepared them for my wife with red mashed potatoes and some yellow crookneck squash we picked up from the local farmers' market this past weekend. We had a simple salad with organic baby greens and diced plums with olive oil and balsamic drizzle.

Still Going!

Well, it's been about three weeks since we started in a new direction. I'm happy to say, it's going well and getting better. My heartburn, though there were a few rough days last week, has subsided dramatically. We are feeling lighter and not getting that bloated feeling and tiredness we used to get after eating meals.

Last night, we had a friend and great artist over for dinner. Norma Linda of NormaLindaStudios.com. She just got her new Mac PowerBook and we spent the night after dinner loading and setting it up for her to get working on it. Such a blessed day when a friend gets a Mac. And it was an especially exciting night for me to see THIS FRIEND get her hands on a Mac! Macs are made for people like this woman! - SUPER CREATIVE and full of great ideas just waiting to come out through the organization and great tools used on a Mac! Anyway, check out her sight with the link above. She'll be adding more soon.

Here are a couple pictures of the LBO-friendly meal we had last night. My wife made an EXCELLENT creamy sauce over plump wild caught shrimp with rice, steamed broccoli and a crisp salad. Just good stuff! Everyone was smiling after dinner:)
