Spring Salmon Salad

Okay, I am so proud of myself right now. I just finished this amazing salad...and I'm typically not a fan of salmon. But this is now going to be one of my favorite salads.

One of the best things about it...the salmon cooks pretty fast. So by the time you chop-up your salad fixings, the salmon is ready to jump onto the plate!


I start by giving my salmon fillet a really quick rinse and then patting it dry. This one is a 0.65 lb. fillet.

Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread

After two weeks of searching through gluten free products...I finally found a bread that my little Grace loves! And until I get all of the ingredients I need to m ake my own, it looks like I'll be making trips to Whole Foods for bread.

The bread: Berlin Natural Bakery's Old Fashioned Sourdough Spelt Bread

This means that you can now customize you Frappuccino to your little heart's content...change-up your milk type, add more coffee, create your own syrup flavor combinations & amount, top it off with whipped cream (how much or little) and whatever else comes to mind.

FREE FDA Women's Health Kit

To learn about this mystery Momma nurse, click here.

This morning, as I was perusing the newspaper, I happened upon Dear Abby's column. Marsha Henderson, Assistant Commissioner For Women's Heath, had written in to spread the word about an free offer for all of us hard working women. Apparently, in honor of all women, the U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION is offering a free kit to help remind us women that although we care for others, we need to be sure to care for ourselves.

This free Health Information Kit is available while supplies last...so don't delay! There is a limit of 2 kits per person. Keep one for yourself and then give the other kit to a woman that you care about to remind her not to neglect herself too. It's the power of spreading information while you continue to care for others.

Immersion Blender = Genius

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I use this immersion blender. It is definitely one of my "Must Have" items in the kitchen. And I haven't even used the whisk attachment yet. (it's been 4 years since I bought it) Someday I will put that whisk to use...some day.

In the meantime, I definately must say that for soups, guacamole, shakes, smoothies, adding fruit to frozen yogurt...this tool is my absolute treasure. There is are many ways that I've used this.

Friday Follow ~ Mother's Day Weekend 5/07

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

There is so much that I have to thank my Mother for...first for putting up with me all of these years. :)
She's been my shoulder to cry on, my comforter, my cheer section, my chauffeur, my confidante, my teacher, my travel agent, my nurse, my doctor, my dentist, my prayer partner, my counselor, my babysitter, my co-worker, my maid, my cook...My Best Friend.
All of those things are wrapped up into the neat little package I call MOM.

Everyday I strive to be the kind of mother my Momma has been to me. (I fail miserably most time it seems)
But I thank God for the example He has given me.

Here is a rundown of this week's postings:
