Hi guys! While I certainly haven’t been posting as much as usual, I have been taking pictures of some of my most delicious eats over the last week or so. There’s been some great meals! So let me share…
DINNERs
We’ve been low on groceries, I’ve tried to keep cooking…
First up, a simple and delicious meal: A tomato and cucumber salad with a warm tuna melt.
I just made the tuna salad, scooped it on some bread, topped it with some shredded Gouda and toasted it up! This is a Loren/ Kat favorite. And the cats always want some, too!
One night, when we were very low on groceries, I was proud of myself for putting together a healthy, veggie-filled meal from the pantry and my freezer. I combined some frozen chopped spinach with a big can of Trader Joe’s tomato sauce and some chickpeas. I just made some whole wheat angel hair pasta (the best kind of whole wheat pasta because it has a nice texture) and topped it with the sauce. I also made a green salad on the side.
YUM!
If you don’t like the texture of whole wheat pasta, and therefore don’t eat it, I highly recommend you try angel hair whole-wheat. You can find it at any grocery store.
But my favorite dinner that I’ve cooked in the last week was definitely wild salmon- baked in aluminum foil in covered with a sauce of olive oil, lemon, capers, and dijon grain mustard. In the oven for 22 minutes at 400.
And voilà, the best salmon EVER. And I cooked up some really easy veggies to have on the side: corn and haricot verts (fancy word for skinny string beans). They were so easy because I could just boil both vegetables (at different times) in the same pot.
And there you have it- a 20 minute meal. 
BREAKFAST
These are some of my favorite breakfast as of late…
Apple/banana oatmeal. I added half a chopped green apple and half a sliced banana to the oatmeal and let it all cook together for about seven minutes. I added lots of cinnamon and some maple syrup as well.
Then there was the “waffles benedict”- Yogurt, apple, apricot jam, and PB on whole wheat waffles!
SOOO good!
A simple sunny side up egg on toast. Little bit of cream cheese. Lots of hot sauce!
And my favorite breakie of all: today’s! Scooped out FRESH whole wheat-everything bagel with a little bit of chive cream cheese, capers, sliced tomato, and lox (smoked salmon).
Yes, I am a Jewish girl at heart. This is my people’s food! I’ve gotta love it- its in my blood. 
And that’s about it for the greatest as of late. I promise to try to post more regularly- please bare with me!
Today I am actually attempting a double workout- lets see how that goes. I swam for 30 minutes this morning and I am heading to a Novice/ Open pilates class. I’m excited- I really want to get into Pilates- seems so good for toning, stretching, and strengthening the body. And I found a great-looking studio right down the street! Love Brooklyn.
Ooo I have to try cooking my salmon like that, I absolutely adore salmon. Is that smoked salmon on the bagel? I’m wanting that for a breakfast real soon.
Yes, you’re back! And everything looks and sounds delish. Thanks !! xoxoxox
i’ve never tried whole wheat angel hair before – i do enjoy the texture of whole wheat stuff but this sounds like an interesting option for those who don’t. thanks for the tip! good to see you back.
That salmon looks 100% perfectly cooked. I LOVE me a nice piece of salmon – so delish!
Those eats look fantastic!!
holy cow all that looks so good. I had fish fillets last night cooked with lemon juice and butter and not kidding, it totally renewed my love of fish. That salmon looks incredible!
I LOVE your Waffles Benedict! What a creative idea! I picked up some smoked salmon and light whipped cream cheese at TJ’s this week and have been enjoying that meal for lunch. YUMM!
OOooh that melt looks so yummy!

I absolutely love the healthy twist on eggs benedict. Amazing!
I’m also impressed by your use of salmon in this post. That baked filet looks outstanding.
