Baking in the Sun

Today was such a nice sunny day. Perfect for sleeping in until noon (which I did). The Olympics started so I spent my day at home, catching some snowboarding, and then deciding to cook lasagna. It was a mess to make because my mom came home and said to me, "What happened to my kitchen?!" Hehe... well...

Cheers for Healthy Eating!

Fresh grilled salmon and veggies
After stocking up from Costco, I felt my cooking abilities overflow. I just had to do something with the huge piece of salmon I had purchased. The entire dish was made using the George Foreman grill. It's the best invention ever!

Ingredients
Salmon (it was probably the size of my palm, 1/2 inch thick)
Broccoli (about 4 or 5 florets)
Button Mushroom (1 big one)
Red Onion (1/2 inch slice)
Salt
Pepper
Monterey Steak Seasoning
Olive Oil

1. Take your salmon filet and season it with the monterey steak seasoning, cover with plastic and let it sit in the fridge for 20 minutes.

2. Brush the onion, broccoli, and mushroom with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Start grilling it on the Foreman grill for about 5 minutes.

3. Plate your vegetables. Take out the salmon and start grilling on the high heat for 7 minutes to get a nice crust, unplug the grill, and let the heat cook the fish for another 10 minutes.

Voila! A healthy meal.

San Francisco My Heart


















I love how the vines look like a star waterfall down the tree trunk.

















Again the vines down the trees are beautiful. The greens in the original picture was just as vibrant, but I had to lighten up the background.












Golden Gate Bridge. I must add that the Golden Gate Bakery in Chinatown is out of this world.
















Good night, good night
