Just a big spinach salad. Yeah, I'm sick of them. But I've been slacking all summer, and I've put on about 7 lbs, so it's time to get things back in order. Plus, I was on vacation last week, and I ate out 8 nights in a row, so it's time, baby...

I just made possibly the best thing I've ever made! Smoked salmon with creamy dill sauce, and creamed spinach on the side.
I put the salmon fillet in aluminum foil this morning, and put a rub on it, then put some liquid smoke in the foil, and left it in the fridge all day. I got home from work, and started a charcoal fire, with a pack of wet mesquite chips on top of it. Put the salmon foil pack on top, and let it cook/smoke for about 30 minutes. HEAVENLY! Seriously, I love to cook, but this is probably the tastiest, most restaurant quality dish, I've ever made! I can't wait to do it again!

I am quietly enjoying a Paul Newman's spinach pizza. Husband is at work and kid is with her grandparents at the beach.

I shall be having a slice of Baklava that I made this morning before getting buried in work for the evening.

Spinach tortellini with basil pine nut pesto, green beans w/slivered almonds and italian bread. Also a nice Cab wine.

Lemon pepper pollock fillets, with a half an ear of corn on the cob, and a spinach salad, with egg, red onions, tomatoes, and a mix of bleu cheese dressing, and raspberry walnut vinaigrette(they compliment each other very well).

I wouldn't be too jealous. Cereal is what's usually on the menu for me, being a lowly student with little time on her hands lol. I was dead sophisticated tonight and upped the stakes to a Tofurkey and Facon sandwhich

Honestly, I just LOVE to cook. Love it! And after I lost the weight, I think I became an even better cook. Because before, I'd just cook a big pan of CRAP(tasty crap, but definitely crap that wasn't good for you). Now, I've learned how to make things that are good for you. How to make a fish fillet, without frying it. How to spice up veggies, where they're not boring. Divorcing red meat and bread(95% of the time, anyway), was the best decision I ever made.

As much as I complain, I do love a good cereal dinner

Ooh, vegetarian meat huh!? Interesting, never tried that.

I should probably learn to cook one day, can't see it happening anytime soon though, I will just have to read all of your fabulous dinners and imagine them for myself, Bread and Cereal are my bestfriends, I couldn't live without them !

I love bread, and to be honest, I miss it waaaaaay more than the red meat.
