It is getting close to the time where I can find my favorite Copper River salmon locally, which is a big deal here in the Pacific Northwest. It is the best tasting wild salmon in my opinion. For now I am collecting some salmon recipes because fish is the perfect summer meal. It’s light... [Continue Reading]The post Salmon Recipes for the Summer appeared first on Nutritious Eats.
Congrats to Brooke W., the winner of the Sunglasses Shop giveaway. An email has been sent to you! Do you workout with an arm band or running belt?

Chicken salad is so personal- everyone makes their own favorite version. I have never loved a heavy-mayo based chicken salad until I had one at a wedding shower a long, long ago- it was made with fresh tarragon, celery and some other basic ingredients. Even though I have come around to mayo-based chicken salads (although... [Continue Reading]The post Pesto Chicken Salad appeared first on Nutritio
Hope all you mothers had a wonderful relaxing Mother’s Day!

I have always been a small person, petite, yet muscular. I was into gymnastics, cheerleading and running growing up and I had a muscular build to show for it. I am not going to lie, I always admired the toothpick skinny girls, you know the model types? Not so much anymore. As I started running... [Continue Reading]The post What’s Beautiful?

I am sort of addicted to this salad. I was trying to come up with a side dish last week when I thought we were out of all vegetables. I found a few sweet peppers, tomatoes and shallots in the drawer of my fridge and I always have frozen corn in the freezer. I think...

I had such a wonderful weekend in Seattle with my girlfriend Heather. I had no idea Seattle had such an awesome downtown- the shopping, the restaurants, the market! Fabulous!

Oh Friday, I am so happy you are here! I realized I haven’t given you an update on my injured foot and I am sure you are all dying to know how it’s feeling. Right? Right.

Have I ever mentioned I am a magazine junkie? Well it’s true. Over the last couple years I was good and cut back to two cooking magazines. Then I don’t know what happened- actually I do.

I have become a little obsessed with the slow cooker lately. It’s just so convenient to start dinner in the morning but have it ready to go when the kids get hungry at approximately 5:30pm.

I don’t have much to say. Yesterday the web was filled with beautifully written, emotional posts about the tragedy in Boston. I am just left speechless. Certainly not ready to post about food. Ugh.

Who doesn’t love a good care package? My mom sends the best ones and her most recent included some of these granola bars for the kids. There are few store-bought granola bars that I like.

Congratulations to the winner of the Bestowed Box giveaway, Jessie J.! Salmon Salad Stuffed Avocado. I can’t remember the last time I bought a can of salmon (or tuna).

I used to be a bargain sunglass shopper. I’d buy several inexpensive pairs because I always thought I’d lose or ruin a nice pair of designer shades.

So I saw some lady on Martha Stewart, or maybe it was Oprah, like 10 years ago (I think, I don’t really know when it was but it was a long time ago) and she was making individual microwave mug cakes.
