Salmon Rolls

While in Harlem a week ago having breakfast with a sista friend, I tried a salmon roll which resembled an egg roll and contained salmon, feta and spinach and they were absolutely delish! I decided since I wouldn't be traveling to the restaurant that often, that I would attempt to recreate them at home and this is the result. Can you say yummmmm!

Ingredients
Red salmon
Organic spinach
Feta cheese
Wonton wrappers
Canola oil



Mix salmon with feta ( do not add salt as salmon and feta contain enough)

Chop spinach and blanch in boiling water, strain and add to salmon and spinach mixture.

Add filling to wonton and roll securing ends and add to hot oil. Drain and serve.

What's For Dinner? Mushroom Ravioli In Mushroom Truffle Sauce

So, I know many of you have very busy, and sometimes hectic schedules and may not be able to sit at home and create homemade meals from scratch all the time. I wanted to post some alternatives for those who may have no choice, but to grab prepackaged foods. Even prepackaged foods can be healthy as long as you check the ingredients for sodium content, hidden sugar, and high calories. Other than that I do pick up some great packaged items, that taste good as well

Healthy Eating: SNACKS!

Again while shopping at Trader Joe's I was in search of things to snack on, so I grabbed some fruit, veggies, almond butter, blackberry preserve (almond blackberry sandwiches). However I was looking for other snacks, you know the bad kind, but reinvented so that they are healthy, good for you and delish!!! 

So I purchased this Roasted Seaweed Snack which is hot, spicy and gets 4 YUMMMS Up!

What's For Dinner? Organic Chicken Stir Fry.

While recently shopping at Trader Joe's I passed by the Poultry section, when I saw Organic Chicken Breast. All I kept thinking was yummmmmm dinner tonight! I started eating chicken again, but not as often as I have in the past. I am still trying to embrace a vegetarian lifestyle, but every now and then I want chicken ( I know, sad right?) Even though it was $10.00 it as well worth it. If I continue to have chicken meals I definitely will only purchase it,  if I am able to buy organic.
