I probably won't have time to do my weekly meal post, mostly because of the challenge as I am not getting home until about 7pm and I am making quick (but still healthy) dinners. When I do find a recipe that I really enjoyed I will post it though. Here are a couple worth trying!
Salmon & veggies
We love salmon! I usually steam our salmon in my steamer, because then I can cook the veggies at the same time and it takes a total of 20 minutes to make dinner. But I was in the grocery store recently and saw the frozen "PC Blue Menu en papillote-Salmon with Lemon & Herbs" I decided I wanted to try to make it myself. You can easily make your own parchment bags without buying the premade bags in the store which are usually $5 or so. A roll of parchment is less than $3.
I pretty much just made this one on my own, no recipe. The only thing I did do was look up how to fold the parchment paper so it stayed shut.
Here's what's in the bag:
-Salmon
-Zucchini
-Asparagus
-Mushrooms
-Approx. 1 tbsp e.v. olive oil
-Approx. 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning (I love this one because it has no salt or sugar added)
-Black pepper to taste
-1/4 lemon squeezed and left in the bag for baking. Don't squeeze all the juice out because you can squeeze it a little more after it's been cooked. Amazing!
I roughly chopped the veggies. Make the bag by rolling and crimping the long sides together over the fish and vegetables. Then roll and crimp the ends closed so the steam can't escape. Cook in the oven on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
We had a baked sweet potato on the side.
Pizza Cups
I made these in about 20 mins (including prep time) and they were really cute and tasty. My original plan was to make them as an appetizer at our St. Patrick's Day party last weekend, but I already had so much food out. Here is the original recipe. I tweaked it a little to make it healthier:
-I used part skim mozzarella
-Didn't use the sweetener
-I only used about 2.5 tbsp of Parmesan instead of 1/4 cup
-PC Blue Menu whole wheat whole grain wrap
Use the lid of something to cut circles out of the wraps, I used the lid of my peanut butter. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and push the wrap circles in.
Mix the pizza sauce, spices, and Parmesan together. Put about a spoonful into each cup and spread around.
Top with cheese and pepperoni. Add any other toppings you want (I added bacon bits to Mikes).
Bake in oven at 425 degrees for about 12 minutes.
We had it with a spinach side salad.
