Asian-Marinated Salmon

January 10, 2012 by Jaida 3 Comments

I had a really great workout last night, I went home and I made a really great, healthy meal and I began to visualize the coming months and how much better I will feel when I drop some weight and become healthier overall. I won’t lie, it’s going to be tough. I have made a habit of preparing generally healthy meals over the past couple of years, but my cravings for chocolate and sweets gets the best of me. I don’t drink a lot of sodas, I drink mostly water, so that is at least one area I don’t have to focus too much attention on. Now it’s just about balanced, healthy meals, consistent exercise, and curbing the sugar/chocolate cravings. Cross your fingers for me! I am going on a cruise at the end of April and I am determined to be bikini-ready!!
Last year a good friend of mine sent me a salmon recipe that his dad makes and insisted that I try it. Well, here I am almost a year later, finally getting around to it! He was right when he said that this dish is amazing!! Damn that email folder that has too many recipes in it to keep up with!!  But seriously, if you are looking to add some new recipes to your seafood arsenal this is definitely one to try out. It’s healthy, it’s simple, and it can be made in the oven, on the stove, or on the grill! What more could you ask for? Oh yeah…it tastes great too!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
