I used:
1/3 c. thick rolled oats
1/3 c. milk
1/3 c. water
1/3 c. whipped cottage cheese
1 T. ground flax
splash of vanilla extract
pinch of salt
sprinkle of cinnamon
handful of walnut halves
(Do you like all of my descriptive words for "just a little bit?")
This was an awesome combination that kept me full all morning while I ran errands.
Last night, I tried my hand at poaching. I had never poached food before (not even eggs) so I did a little research online and experimented on some salmon. I forgot to take pictures of the poaching process, but this is what I put in my liquid:
1 14 oz. can vegetable broth
8 oz. chardonnay
whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
zest of one lemon (in strips, not grated)
I poached two pieces of salmon for approx. 10 minutes, and it was very good! The fish really picked up the flavors, especially the pepper. I also made some corn and stuffed summer squash, so I only ate half of my salmon.
So...today I ate the rest for lunch.
Before:
After, as salmon salad, with a few Kashi crackers.
For the salad, I added:
diced red onion
S & P
dried parsley flakes
capers (I love the little bursts of salty flavor!)
1 T. fat free mayo
I've never had a salad made out of fish other than tuna, so this was a nice change. I think I'll start cooking extra salmon when I make it for dinner for some new lunches.
I'm going to be traveling this weekend, so I'll see everyone on Sunday. Have a great weekend!
