Inside Out Fresh Herb Omelet
This Inside Out Fresh Herb Omelet was my Healthy Choice post-workout meal. Four weeks ago today I arrived at the office with workout clothes in hand (after taking 4 months off). I was committed to getting back into an exercise routine and knew I would need the encouragement of teammates to keep me on track. So when the lunchtime walking crew lined up to head out, I followed right along. Well actually I lagged behind a good bit, but I did it. A 2.61 mile power walk in 40 minutes.

Beef Carpaccio {a Birthday Tradition}
My birthday week is officially winding down. It began last Saturday with a wonderful dinner, made especially for me.

To me radishes were only served as part of a veggie tray. Growing up, I remember mom making ‘radish roses’ and serving them on a nibble tray during the cocktail hour. I tried to like them. Just didn’t.

Garlic & Herb Baked Salmon {over Spinach Couscous}
Garlic & Herb Baked Salmon over Spinach Couscous is a go-to staple meal in our house. Or at least it used to be before we became a food blogging family. We easily had this dish once a week and would have to force ourselves to occasionally change up the way we prepared salmon.

Italian White Bean Dip {with Homemade Pita Bread}
I have a treasured folder where I keep paper copies of recipes. Some jotted down on scratch paper, others torn from magazines, and lots printed from the pages of fellow bloggers I admire. This morning I found this Italian White Bean Dip recipe that I had torn from a Weight Watchers hand out….months ago. Time to revisit.

Catalina Salad Dressing
As I continue with my quest to share all the “Classic” Salads I can think of I’m branching out to dressings as well. I hadn’t had Catalina Salad Dressing in years until Friday. I had forgotten how much I love it’s sweet tangy flavor.
