A simple and healthy dinner

That is pretty much my way of life. Simple and healthy! For dinner two nights ago I wanted to make something nice for Lynne and I. She is moving away on Monday and I am going to miss her very much. We have been best friends for 11 years! I know I keep mentioning it but I guess it is sort of surreal. I don’t remember having 2 days pass in the last 5 years without talking to her or seeing her. It’s just crazy that we are both moving. Anyway, keeping with the health kick, I decided to make tons of veggies and some salmon. I baked the salmon with lemon juice and a bit of garlic. It was so perfect. 350 degrees for 20 minutes covered with foil, then 10 minutes without. Then I made steamed asparagus, steamed spinach, and a salad of mixed greens, sliced orange pepper, 1/2 avocado, some cucumber slices all in Annie’s balsamic dressing. It was a really great meal! And honestly, from start to finish it only took me 45 minutes. For such an amazing meal. Eating well doesn’t take too much time!

We both like to pick out all the good stuff, so now we try to keep it even hahahahaah.

The next day I dug into the leftovers. In general I like to make a big big meal and then eat the leftovers in different ways for the next day or two. So for lunch yesterday I had tons of arugula and mixed greens with 1/4 avocado, 1/8 cucumber, 1/8 pepper, Annie’s balsamic dressing, and 4 oz of leftover salmon. This was a lunch I wouldn’t mind having every single day!

It is 8:45 PM and Lynne just left after just another dinner. I am really feeling so tired that I am going up to bed at 9! What is wrong with me? Well, actually I know! I think I might be getting sick, but I am going to fight it like crazy! Also, I am sad I don’t get to see PB this weekend. We have a lot of weekends off in the next few months in preparation for the wedding and my move. But I will keep looking at the bright side- a few weekends off here and there and before I know it we will be living together! I can only imagine what it is like to live in the same town as the man you love!

Have a great night my friends, see you tomorrow!
