The Daily Balance

I’m making this quick because the Mister and I are planning on heading out for a walk so we can enjoy this beautiful weather before House starts (love that show!).

Not wanting to spend a lot of time in the kitchen today, I looked to my freezer for guidance. Luckily I picked up some salmon skewers this weekend at the grocery store. So yummy and tasty! The marinade, Bourbon BBQ, tasted fresh and flavorful and I didn’t have to do anything but take it out of the package and throw it in the oven.

Craving some fresh veggies, I roasted some asparagus with equal parts olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. I sprinkled with salt and pepper and roasted in the oven for 12 minutes at 400 degrees.

All plated up

Salmon skewers (2 of them were 300 calories, with a fantastic amount of omega-3 healthy fat!)

Close up on asparagus!

This meal was light and satisfying and has left me plenty of room for a treat later! I LOVE having little snacks while watching TV! Seriously, it makes me so happy and content to sit down with a lil healthy snack plate and sink right into all the drama!

What are your favorite healthy TV snacks?

   Yum, those skewers look amazing! Kudos to you!

   My favorite healthy TV snack would probably be some kind of Greek yogurt with granola mixed in. Or a simple bowl of cereal

   Have a great evening! Enjoy your walk in this amazing weather – soak it up!

   Love, Meg

   It’s funny all the different variations that can be made on a simple dish! If I put sauce on salmon, it’s usually teriyaki (I somehow never thought of bbq!) and I ALWAYS saute my asparagus…I find that they come out JUST crispy enough
