Catching up with Shelby.

Look,  I have been reading everyone’s blogs, but tonight when I saw Shelby giving some recipe tips I thought, “Ok…  I can see her Quinoa (very good BTW) and raise her my Copper River Salmon.  Copper River Salmon is a northwest specialty available fresh for only 4 weeks.

To keep myself from all the trappings that go with grilling I went ahead and broiled the salmon.  I used less than a teaspoon of oil before I seasoned the fish with a little bit of cayenne pepper, cumin and dill. Broil it on low for about 20 mins and you will keep it moist and tender.  For two minutes you should turn the broiler on high and you will get a nice finished crust. This compliments the quinoa quite well and with a little lemon juice you won’t need salt.

Weigh the fillet after the cooking to keep it real and on project.

I did a bunch of cooking tonight to make my life a bit easier.  I followed the plan for dinner. Plus I packed my lunch for tomorrow.  Buckwheat Linguine noodles that I made myself and a piece of salmon. 

I packed it with my other meal and snack parts in a container I found.  I also cooked a some chicken breasts with basil and thyme and then packed them into bags by weight so I could grab the right weight by meal.

I also diced up a bunch of fruit and vegetables and also split them into containers by weight.  If this seems a bit much just understand that I am ADD and I need order to make things work.

I would love to know how other people are going to try and make their meals both delicious and convenient.  I really am impressed with the level of detail some of the others are using in their plan. I like the challenge so lets share some recipes and see who can make something memorable while we train.
