Salmon & Stir Fry

Charlie's dad is workin' tonight so he got some extra salmon. He also had fresh veggies & some buckwheat noodles. I sauteed mine w/garlic & ginger in some soy sauce, and marinated the salmon in spicy teriyaki sauce. Yum!

A Few Meals

I made this yummy app platter, and asian style short ribs before I went out of town. Since I got back I have been slackin' so I'm here to tell you all I'm back and sizzlin!

My New Fav

I know I've made this buckwheat noodle stir fry a lot, but it's so good! I change it up a little each time. This time I added mushrooms to my normal mix of carrots, sugar snap peas, meat, ginger, & garlic. Cook it in a little soy sauce & a few other random sauces I can find lurking in the fridge, & viola! Delicious & fast dinner.

Check out the size of those strawberries! I love going to the Farmer's Market! Even if I did have to wait in line for those berries today it was worth it, she's getting awfully popular. I may have to start getting up earlier...my smoothie was scrumptious. Strawberries, blueberries, a couple blackberries, a little vanilla yogurt, mango/mangosteen juice from Trader Joe's, one cutie orange & a small scoop of raspberry sorbet. Yum! Having leftover meat pasties for dinner, oh so good!

Crescent Roll Meat Pasties

I made a cornish pastie consisting of lean ground beef, onions, carrots, potatoes, & peas. I wrapped them in crescent rolls & baked according to the rolls directions, then served with some beef gravy. They turned out flakey and delicious! Charlie had the same thing, with no onions or pastry. Of course he loved it!

Charlie

Charlie just enjoyed some turkey w/carrots, brown rice & flaxseed. He ate it all, yay! BTW he's a picky eater, and doesn't eat much...You might think I'm just some crazy dog owner, but these are facts! Anyway, I didn't puree it, just chopped it up, especially those carrots! He'll swallow huge pieces of meat, but a slightly large piece of carrot? Forget it! Well, it's leftover pork for us humans, with roasted carrots & potatoes. They're in the oven right now with some fresh sprigs of rosemary. Smells delicious!

Simple Dinner

I still haven't tried anything new, but I look forward to going to The Farmer's Market on Sunday and buying at least one or two items that I've never tried. I searched for fennel bulbs last week, but couldn't find any. Perhaps they're not in season. Anyway, I had a simple and easy dinner last night. We seasoned & sauteed some boneless pork fillets, steamed asparagus & made some mashed potatoes. I usually make mashed potatoes with butter & sour cream, but I had some plain nonfat yogurt I had to use, so I threw that in there. My fiance complimented them saying they were like his grandmother's! I didn't tell him there was yogurt in them...just wanted him to think they were full of fat so he'd enjoy them. So sneaky! Charlie also enjoyed some pork w/a little boiled potato & asparagus (not purreed) and ate the whole thing. He's got his appetite back!
