Salmon with White Bean Salad

We’ve been eating more red meat lately, and I was craving a little lighter fare. This was also one of those evenings when I was dog tired and just wasn’t in the mood to cook. I think I spent all of about 20 minutes cooking this dinner, and that includes the broiling!

Salad… Its What’s for Dinner

Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a steak and potatoes kind of gal. As I’m maturing, and that darn metabolism slows, I try to eat less of that and more salads. Here is one of my favorite ways to incorporate red meat into a healthy dinner. Grilled Filet Mignon served on top of a delicious salad with lots of goodies in it. Its really the best of both worlds: Raw veggies… check! Yummy grilled steak… check! Candied Almonds… check! OK, the candied almonds are not exactly “healthy” but they sure are tasty.

Got Mozz?

Insalata Caprese is my husband’s most favorite salad. I purchase the best possible tomatoes when I make this salad, and if I can’t find good, vine ripened tomatoes, I won’t make the salad. My favorite (other than out of someone’s garden… of course) are Campari Tomatoes. They always have great flavor, but sometimes are hard to find. Luckily, my local Costco usually carries them. The best part is the balsamic reduction…. its so delicious and really looks great on the plate.

Looks Like Greek To Me

Once a month or so, I like to do an uber-healthy vegetarian night. Last night we dined on delicious and low fat Mediterranean fare. Of course I could make it even healthier and omit the olive oil… but naaaa… why ruin a great thing???

Although this menu looks time consuming, its actually pretty quick… probably took less than 30 minutes to prepare, and there’s nothing to cook. I start by soaking the bulgur wheat. By the time I have chopped everything, the bulgur is soft and ready to go.greek_01.jpg
