Peas n Pasta

by Nicci on 09/29/2009

”Please No Peas Mom”… something I used to say when I was younger.   I still didn’t care for peas till tonight!!

I had a huge craving for cold pasta.

The first ”quick cold pasta dish” that came up with Google Search.  I ran to the store for frozen peas.  They were good in this dish too…still surprised!

  • 2 cans tuna
  • 1 grated carrot
  • 1/2 cup light mayo
  • 1/2 cup Greek plain yogurt

(only thing missing was raisins)

I ate some leftover breaded tofu that was in the freezer.  I looked it up and learned that you can freeze tofu!!

Omega-3 Yummy

by Nicci on 09/02/2009

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!

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
