Dinner Date with BF - Honey and Walnut Crusted Salmon

Dinner dates with BF are always a treat. I brought back some honey from Prague and was looking for a fun way to use it in a recipe.
After some google-ing I found this easy recipe - Honey & Walnut Crusted Salmon

Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Rinse salmon and pat dry. Place skin side down on baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Stir together honey and mustard; spoon over the top and sides of salmon. Sprinkle with walnuts and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your liking. source
To kick up the flavor, I added some minced garlic to the mixture. So good.

We decided to pair this with some mixed stir fried veggies w/ the extra walnuts.
Yummy!

Canada Bound!

Hi There!

I am flying home to Canada tomorrow for the holidays, woohoO! Yes, that means I am taking 2 whole weeks off work. (yessssss!). I am planning to go to BF's parents house for a bit, see some extra-wonderful friends from university in Toronto, and get in some solid fam-jam time. I love Christmas so very, very much.
While I'm home, my posts will be few and far between because I will be pretty busy and away from a computer. I promise to post pictures of snow, horses and Canadian fun when I get back :)

For now, here is a bit of an update on what is going on in my fridge.

A few weeks ago my aunt and uncle came to the city to visit. Randomly, they thought it would be fun to go to Target in Harlem. I love Target and loved that they wanted to go to Harlem, so off we went in a cab all the way up to 117th St.

I forgot how cool Costco is. The huge carts. The colossal isles, brimming with giant packages of anything and everything. This Costco even had Michael Kors and Coach bags. Is that normal?

 I ended up with more cheese, fish, almonds and ziploc bags than I know what to do with. I have a HUGE container of salsa. At least 8 kinds of cheese. Enough salmon and tilapia to last me months. How the heck did I get so lucky?
Check out my fridge.
CHEEEEESE - the #1 reason i am not a born again vegan
my freezer
ridiculous
amazing
best thing evverrr
 Due to the large amount of salmon I have at my disposal, I have been eating it pretty often. Here is what I've been doing with it lately:
I separated a big slab into smaller Caitlin-sized portions.
the salsa jar is almost as big as my coffee maker.

Great use for a giant jar of salsa!
 


wonderful on salad.
Honey mustard glaze with teriyaki veggies. mmmm
 

 
Now I think I need to have a cheese and wine party. Maybe I can bring it to the New Years eve party I’m going to?

What are your plans for the holidays? Do you shop at Costco?

Later!
