Oh My Darlin’

IMG_1818Blog

This afternoon I ventured to a yoga class with my friends – Faith, Eileen, and Mary. I love having gym friends – exercise is so much more fun! The class was great – a really nice and pretty challenging vinyasa flow. And the room was WARM!! Not enough to make me sweat, but not cold either, and that’s improvement! We did a series of 3 camel poses and during that time, my cold disappeared. It’s back a little, but I really do feel much better after a day of super foods.

Back at home, I was pretty hungry from working out during snack time, so I sipped an Izze-esque while I made dinner. LOVE these because they are lighter in calories and sweetness – I find the regular Izzes to be too sweet. These are just 25% fruit juice in sparkling water. I could make this at home, but that would require purchasing 2 kinds of beverage (juice + s. water) and for now, this works to have in the pantry.

IMG_1807Blog

Tonight’s dinner was a random mix – but it worked!!

IMG_1821Blog

A while back, Copper River Salmon sent me a mix of smoked salmons as the finale of the summer tasting I did of salmon, and Matt has been urging me on to use this jar in a dinner for months. I guess the fact that he could see it through the glass made it more tempting!?

IMG_1808Blog

We used it in tonight’s pasta dinner. I tried to drain it (because I didn’t want all the excess fish oil in the pasta) but Matt insisted on keeping the oil drippings and then he DRANK THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! He has this thing with fish juices and brines. I love canned fish, but I could never drink the juice. Ew.

Tonight I rolled my eyes for the 100th time when he did it, but he got me when he said: “Just trying to get all the essential fatty acids I can!” Ha! Point noted.

IMG_1809Blog

Last time we made noodles with this Clementine Cashew Butter that Krissy sent me a while ago, Matt said it was one of the best pasta sauces he’s ever had. So I rolled with it on noodles a second time. I was not too tempted to put this on breakfast things for some reason (although it tastes amazing), but my gosh was it good for dinner sauces!!

IMG_1810Blog

Something is missing…

IMG_1812Blog

[Sounds of sriracha glugging from the bottle…]

That’s better.

IMG_1813Blog

This dish was made with Whole Foods brand vegetable shells and broccoli that I blanched in the pasta water in the last minute of cooking (I know this leaches a few of the nutrients out – but it’s super easy and something I only do with veggie + pasta dishes – and quickly!). I drained those and put them back in the warm pot with 2 clementines, the salmon and about 3 tbsp of the Clem-Cash butter. Sriracha on top!

IMG_1815Blog

The dish was awesome.

    Gym friends are the best! It’s amazing how much faster the time passes when you’ve got great friends to chat with. Dinner looks yummy. And everything is exponentially more delicious with Sriracha sauce. Hands. Down. I think I could eat a flip-flop if it was generously topped with Sriracha.

    Haha. Matt is not alone. I also drink tuna and salmon brine when it’s the low-sodium variety but certainly NOT oil. Though I do know people who like mopping the fishy oil with bread 😉 A bit of brine also comes handy when I mash tuna for sandwiches or wraps.

    I hadn’t seen those Izze Esque drinks, but they sound great! I’m currently on an apple cider kick, but I like to add just a splash to water to keep down on the sweetness and add a touch of flavor. Plus, it makes it last longer!
