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!

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

Crazy Combo

by Nicci on 08/27/2009

Good Morning,

Inspired by last nights dinner and Tina @ Carrots N Cake, I used my leftovers in my smoothie this morning!

Sweet Potato Smoothie: Somewhat similar to Tina’s Smoothie but with strawberries added.

BLEND, BLEND, BLEND…

I was worried I may not like this as much as just a plain sweet potato but it was great! I probably wouldn’t do this as a breakfast smoothie again, save it for the afternoon or for dessert.

Speaking of Crazy Combos, last nights dinner consisted of shrimp tossed in Evoo and a little bit of S&P. I really wanted to cook with the shrimp I had bought earlier this week.

So last night I kept thinking I didn’t want any brown rice or whole wheat pasta, what could I make for dinner? I completely forgot I had sweet Potatoes…duh! So, I made sweet potatoes for the bf and I with black beans.
