What's Cooking Wednesday - Salmon, Tomatoes & Chickpeas

Image
By
I found this recipe on LaaLoosh.  While not on Weight Watchers, I enjoy seeing what she comes up with.  And since her picture is so much better than mine, click the link above to go to the picture and her thoughts on the dish.



Ingredients

  • 1lb skinless salmon filets
  • 1 28oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Sprinkle of red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Rub salmon with salt, pepper and paprika, and set aside.
  2. Spray a large, nonstick skillet with non-fat cooking spray.
  3. Sauté garlic until softened , about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in salmon, then top with remaining ingredients.
  5. Cover and let simmer on med-low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until salmon is cooked through.
Preparation time: 5 minute(s)
Cooking time: 20 minute(s)


I thought this was a great way to cook salmon (and kept the fishy smell down too!).  I cut the cumin as I didn't have any, but everything else was there.  For some reason mine turned out a bit more soupy than hers (maybe because patience is not a strong suit?).  I'd def make it again, but I might through in some zucchini or spinach to make it a one-pot meal of sorts!

Labor of Love (Part 1 of 3)

I love lace. I love the delicacy with which it presents itself to the world. That being said, I dont really use it very much. I do have some family doilies, and my wedding dress has some lace, but I dont go too crazy. I like to be able to clean things, and not have dust mites clinging to every available piece of cloth (they cling to everything else anyway.) So, I decided to try a painting technique. Why not paint the lace on the object? Easy to clean, lovely design, what could be better? We got this child's vanity in an old attic pick. Yes, we went into someone's hot and muggy attic for several hours. Yes, they let us jsut dig through things (can you believe it?!?!) unsupervised. Yes, we had to take our own flashlights. And yes, there was mouse droppings and dead birds up there. It was gross, but worth it. My boy LOVED it! American Pickers is his favorite tv show. So this school bus yellow vanity sat there looking at us. Begging for new life! I knew if we left ...

Red Door is a perfume...what is Blue Door?

By
My house is one of many on the block. Built in the 50s, its a cookie cutter, built for the new families that needed homes after the WWII. There is not much to make it stand out. Honestly, that is OK. I do not want it to stand out TOO much. But, a little zest is always good, right? I wanted to come home to something special. Something different from what everyone else is coming home to. So I opted to paint my door. The color was the difficulty. There are so many good ones! I went for blue. And no, its not just a college basketball statement. I love blue! And my husband happens to like it to. When you agree, you just have to go with it! We took the door down, washed it and let it dry. Make sure you pick a time when you are going to be home for a solid 6-8 hrs. :-) Then, I sanded it to get the rough spots out. After that came the painting. I tried it first with a brush. I knew it would take several coats if I went that route. So, I switched to a roller for the flat parts, brush for the gr...
