Low Carb Dinner

We have started making a lot of salmon lately. It is so easy to bake some salmon fillets. I sprinkle some lemon pepper seasoning on top of the fillets and bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes. That's it! I had some with roasted zucchini, tomatoes and peppers the other night. It is a healthy, filling low carb dinner.

Food For Thought Thursdays - Salmon

Welcome to Food For Thought Thursdays! Please stop by the others and join us in some inspiring food fun!

When I'm looking to make a quick, easy meal, I just bake salmon fillets, skin side down in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes at 350F. This time, I added some lemon pepper and tarragon for flavour. I had an 8oz package of mushrooms, so I mixed them with some olive oil, some garlic and herb mix, added them to the salmon tray to bake alongside it. Everything was delicious.

At this time of year, the best fruit to buy is often a bag of apples. I got these from Costco, they are sweet Royal Gala apples.

I put some in my salad and they were crisp, and delicious with the cherry tomatoes and romaine lettuce!  My favourite dressing is Kraft raspberry vinaigrette.

New Fashion Trend

I was reading the newspaper on Saturday and noticed this fashion article with a picture of Madonna in combat style pants. Then I realized I've been seeing a couple of the instructors at the gym wearing this style, usually with one pant leg folded up to the knee. Have you noticed this fashion trend? I'm not one of those that keeps up with the latest looks.

Last night, I needed L's signature on a document. Of course, she happens to be out of town. So we realized I could simply scan the page and email it to her. She in turn, printed it, signed it and emailed it back to me. This is all about the wonders of technology! You don't even have to fax anymore. I felt sad that she's growing up so fast. Although I was a lot more sad when she first moved away to school last September.

She's so looking forward to turning 19 in April, the legal drinking age here. I'm just happy that we have blackberry smart phones and can send instant messages to each other at any time. And of course, there's Gmail video and Skype. M's worse than me, he almost expects daily contact. Well, we seem to have daily contact anyway, even if it's just a quick message or photo. In fact, here's a photo she sent us last week. She had made her first salmon dish and said it was delicious:
