Pistachio Crusted Salmon



Tonight's dinner involves the use of the oven to hopefully give me better success cooking Salmon. Last time I attempted it on a pan, but it didn't cook evenly and swas raw in the middle and tasted terrible. This time, there is a pistachio coating the top so i'm trying new things. Along with the salmon, I decided to cut up some small red potatoes and zuchini with a little olive oil, butter and garlic mixed together. Wish me luck, it's cooking as we speak. It looked nice before it went in the oven so that's a good sign.

YUM!


I left school early today because "I wasn't feeling good (cough, cough)" but I had to stop at Whole Foods to pick up some yummy food to cook for the weekend. First I made a spectacular soup to keep myself healthy. I used: carrots, celery, onions, califlower, parsnips, bok choy and wild rice in chicken broth. It came out great. I also bought some healthy munchies that I would recommend to anyone. 1st: Crispy Wheat thins with Hummus is fabulous. 2nd: Veggie chips are quite addicting (thanks Barb for the advice) and 3rd: for the sweet tooth, the healthy version of oreo cookies.

I also indulged in some very good Vermont chocolate and of course the new Ben and Jerry's Creme Brulee Ice cream and .... some healthy treats for the puppies! I have to keep it real right?


Tomorrow i'm going to make something amazing. Stay tuned.....
