With my husband gone on a business trip for 2 1/2 weeks, I was free to eat what I like (which is quite different from what he likes). Of course then it decided to heat up & some sleep deprivation was thrown is, so easy eating was the name of the game — often.
Everyday Detox Maple Mustard Salmon
Another recipe from the cookbook Everyday Detox. I swear I have no affiliation with the website! But I enjoy Megan’s recipes, obviously.
Essentially it’s salmon covered in a dijon mustard maple syrup mix and broiled. Easy & tasty.
Shortcake Cottage Cheese|
Another easy snack/breakfast I make often. Very filling.
1/2 – 2/3 c cottage cheese
Berries
1/2 tbsp maple sugar
Scoop greek yogurt
Optional: chocolate protein powder, chocolate chips, vanilla, cinnamon
Mix a little of the maple sugar with the berries & set aside for about half an hour for the berries to release their juices.
Mix remaining sugar with cottage cheese. Top with berries (and the juices), any add-ins, and a dollop of greek yogurt.
Most of the strawberries were from my garden, too – win!
I hear people say all the time they don’t have time for breakfast. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time!
Purely Twins Plaintain Pizza
I was able to borrow Purely Twins’ little plaintain ebook on my kindle.
This recipe was kind of genius and maybe the easiest of this week’s recipes & I’ll definitely be making it again.
Toss 1 plaintain with some coconut oil.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Top with pizza sauce (I just used tomato paste) & favorite pizza toppings (I just used some mozzarella).
Bake an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Everyday Detox Zoodles Alfredo
Zoodles = zucchini noodles.
The alfredo sauce is basically cauliflower + almond milk. While you’re not going to mistake this for Pasta Alfredo, it is oddly comforting and filling. And did I mention easy?

Wow! You are eating so healthy. That salmon looks good. I may have to try that.

It’s been a decades long journey for me. And I still eat too much sugar. I’m not sharing everything I eat. 😉 Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint & you’re doing great!

You’re making me hungry. I was only home for dinner one night this week and my hubby said it was too hot to cook so we went out to eat.

You have the best metabolism! I seriously just can’t go out to eat too often. But most of these really are easy. Occasionally I have popcorn or ice cream for dinner, too. Did you go to the crossings yesterday? I had to pick up my husband at the airport, which is why I couldn’t meet up with you.

My husband used to travel a lot, but now not so much. This is the first business trip that I didn’t go with him in a year, I think.
I’ve always liked cooking for one. Lots of leftovers!

I’m hung up on strawberries from your garden – that would be amazing! We’ve been grilling salmon using a similar “recipe” – so delicious. I go through stages of liking/not liking cottage cheese, but that breakfast sounds good.

This is the first time I’ve actually been successful with strawberries. They weren’t all from my garden, but about 3/4 were – several days’ worth of harvesting
I just have 2 raised beds that are way overcrowded. I’m hoping to get more for next year.
I used to garden a fair amount but it took me a while after our move (6 yrs ago) to feel the urge again.
