No Cook Friday

Before lunch today I figured that I might struggle a little with Madison considering that she did not like dinner last night, and today was going to be left overs.....yummy..NOT! So, I looked through the fridge to see what I could add to the concoction that I made last night and I found some low fat Colby Jack cheese. I heated up the casserole dish and sprinkled some cheese on it, and it was a hit for her. It ended up tasting like tuna noodle casserole which is not a hit with a lot of people and very weird considering that there were no similar ingredients in the the dish that tuna noodle casserole has except for noodles and cheese.

Tonight is a no cook night. We try to have Fridays as our get out and do something exciting for dinner night, while still trying to make healthy choices.

Tomorrow I am going to be making a Mediterranean grilled salmon with a flavorful fresh herb marinade. It is coming from the AHA book.

I'll keep you posted about the meal....Good night!

Our Official First Heart Healthy Recipe!

This was our official first heart healthy recipe that we tried a few months ago. It's salmon with a cilantro pesto.We initially realized, after eating the salmon, that you don't have to sacrifice taste to eat healthy. Fresh foods and spices are the key, when things are so flavorful, you don't need the fat!
