Blackened Salmon
 |
OMG…I purchased keta salmon at Vons for $2.50 lb. YAH!
Remember how I told you I grew up on burned food? Well, this one is for you, mom
2 tsps. each of dried parsley, oregano, and basil |
 |
Mix all ingredients into a bowl.
Place pan on high heat with a touch of PAM. Dip each fillet into mixture coat both sides (the moisture from the fish is enough to adhere spices) |
 |
Set each piece into the pan and turn flame to medium high for about 2 minutes each side. Then place into a 400 degree oven to finish cooking for about 6 minutes.
Spicy, red, and hot…like me |

Spring Rolls
 |
Let’s be honest…they look more like taquitos than spring rolls but DH rated them a 5 plater! |
 |
I gave the shrimp a bath in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then shocked with ice |
 |
The flesh of the rolls. I know, it’s not very traditional, however…you know what I say…the more vegetation the better! |
 |
OMG, have you ever tried to roll these SOB’s? The rice paper comes in rounds, and they are similar to wax paper.
We dipped them in peanut hoisin sauce |
Chocolate and Tampons @ Wags
What a perfect combo!
Usually, I don’t buy candy…today my students are graduating. Since it is easier to impart calories, fat, and empty calories rather than education. I’ll send my goodbyes to them with a piece of bliss.
Thanks to all these tampon deals, I believe I am set until I hit menopause.

Baked Zucchini
 |
Recipe:Baked Zucchini
I followed the recipe except I sprayed PAM on the spears instead of using additional oil. I also cut my zucchini into spears, because I am lazy, and didn’t want to individually coat each coin. |
 |
See I just made a vat of mixture and tossed them. |
 |
OOh, this week at the Mexican market zucchini is only 2lbs for .99! Yippeee! |
 |
Let them take a bath in the sand then, throw them into the oven for about 1/2 hour at 450 degrees.
Tastes really good with .25 BBQ sauce! |
Healthier Potato Skins
 |
Recipe: Potato Skins Rating:
Super Easy to Make DH-(I swear the easier the recipe, the better the rating) 1.Wash and pierce about 8 potatoes 2. Throw into microwave for ~ 10 minutes |
 |
3. When cool, scoop out flesh |
 |
4. I microwaved broccoli for about 2 minutes, then threw it atop the spud
5. I used fat-free, and reduced fat cheeses 6. Sprayed them all with PAM 7. Placed in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes, then turned up to broil to make them better 8. Served with fat-free sour cream. Want to make it healthier? Use sweet potatoes instead Only use fat-free cheese |
