What’s For Dinner? Salmon!
As I’ve mentioned in many of my previous posts, I’ve been SO busy with school. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been binging and eating junk food and having tons of energy drinks and coffee - typical college if you ask me. And on top of all of that, I haven’t been making time to workout and go to the gym and unfortunately I’m just realizing all of this now… BUT… It has inspired me to create a new section to my blog called “What’s For Dinner?” This is designed for college kids and people with full time jobs short on time, looking for a quick, healthy fix.
The first dinner plate I would like to feature is Salmon!! Salmon is one of my absolute favorites, rich in protein and low in sodium. You can check out the nutrition facts here. I made this plate on a Saturday night, and I’m on a pretty low budget, but I wanted to treat myself. So I picked up this already-seasoned Salmon steak up at Shaws for $5-6, which isn’t too bad because it’s fresh fish. It’s actually much cheaper than going out to dinner, or settling for something from Panera, Chipotle, or a Pizza Place. I used white rice and corn without butter as my sides. I usually buy canned corn or bagged, frozen corn (no salt or butter added) - Simply Steam Niblets Corn by Green Giant is my favorite. Again, it’s cheap. But you could easily replace it with fresh corn. The rice is just plain, white rice. It can be substituted with brown or wild rice. So that totaled to about $8-9, which I think is relatively cheap for dinner on a Saturday night. Please send me your feedback! :) Stay fit xoxo
… I didn’t end up eating the hummus with it, but I can never get enough of it!
I pan seared the salmon on both sides for about 4-6 minutes, until brown. Perfection if you ask me :D
Ahh this is SO cute!!! <3 Hope this makes you guys smile! (Source: czarmonger)
Just Started This!
Check it out!!
Happy Black Friday!
Happy Black Friday, loves! And also, Happy belated Thanksgiving! I hope you all got to spend time with family and friends yesterday, had a wonderful time, and hopefully took advantage of some of the killer deals out there today. And I would just like to say that I am thankful for each and and every one of you! I am also blessed to have such a wonderful family, network of friends, opportunity for higher education, health, and everything in between!
As for today…
Personally, I decided to stay home and relax with the family and catch up with some of my Genetics homework. I have a huge test on Wednesday (11/30) that I need to do well on!! I can’t believe finals are right around the corner too… Only 2 more weeks of formal classes! I’m probably going to go out shopping tomorrow, continue to study, and hit the gym! I’m going to post my gym routine that I did this past Wednesday shortly, and hopefully get up some things to add to my new section “What’s for Dinner?”
Right now I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop and watching Restaurant Impossible with my Daddy. He finally arrived home last night and I picked him up in Boston at the airport. I’m so happy to have him back with us! For those of you who don’t know, he left to Venezuela about 2 weeks ago on a whim because my grandmother passed away. It’s been tough, but things are getting better now :) We are so lucky to have a lot of friends and family to support us.
Anyways! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I’ll keep posting :* xoxo Stay Fit!
Going to do like a million of these everyday so I get the sexiest ass ever. Excuse my language ;) (via meganshealthy)
New Portrait Photo!?
What do you guys think of my new portrait photo? It’s a picture of me taken this past summer at the beach :) It was my Facebook picture for awhile too.
Fast, Easy Make Up!
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m always on the go whether it be at school or at home… I’m constantly in a rush and I always have somewhere to be!
I’ve been looking for some new make up products and checking out reviews online, and I happen to find this awesome video. Putting on make-up has never been my strong suite, so anything that shows me how to make it quick and easy is well worth the watch!
Enjoy!!
Daily Dose of Motivation! Get out there!! (via jmkrun)
I’M BACK
Guess who’s back, back again … ?
… ‘Cause it feels so empty without me
I thought that was appropriate ;) I’m back in full-force now that I have two major exams out of the way. I hope you have all had a great week and are now prepping for Thanksgiving! I’ll be posting a lot in the next few days - keep your eyes peeled.
xoxo
Taking a Break :(
Hey guys, this is a very hectic, busy week for me at school so I’m going to go on hiatus until next Tuesday or Wednesday (11/22-11/23)! It will help me stay focused, instead of spending my time online (Facebook, Tumblr, etc.) … I hope you all have a wonderful week, I will be posting A LOT over Thanksgiving break. Stay tuned! Love you all! If you would like to contact me or have any suggestions for the blog, please send me an email at jmkrun87@gmail.com … I’m also on twitter @jkasss
Until Later, xoxo
