My day flew by yesterday! That is always refreshing on a Monday right!?? I started the morning off right with more Kashi Mountain Medley cereal and packed leftover paella for lunch. If you haven’t yet tried this recipe…what are you waiting for!!???
1/4 cup Kashi Mountain Medley, 1/2 cup organic low fat yogurt, 3-4 sliced strawberries, 1 x-large banana
About 1 serving of Paella. On the side I chopped up some organic carrots and ate another low-fat yogurt a couple hours later
When I got home from work, the hubby and I set out to make dinner. On the menu? Asiago Baked Salmon from Jessica at How Sweet It Is. Since we didn’t feel like spending money on Asiago cheese, we substituted fresh parmesan that was already in our fridge. The result? An amazingly tasty salmon fillet! We were both really impressed with the combination of flavors in the sauce. So simple and yet, so delightful!!
The only trouble we ran in to was finding the right side dish. I made a large salad for the both of us but the sweet potato we planned to bake went BAD! It looked like it had hives…so we tossed it.
With no other ideas, Brandon cooked up some whole wheat egg noodles. His intentions were good until he drowns them in olive oil and they were literally inedible. Ick! SO, we settled on salmon and salad. Do you ever struggle with side dishes?? Can anyone recommend a tasty rice or sweet potato side dish?

That salmon looks delicious! Never thought to make it like that– go Jessica (and your guys for making it!)
Ahhh that looks so delicious! I will try it… I totally already have all the ingredients!
I think I’m boring with my side dishes, but I usually just do something simple like plain rice or plain “rice pilaf” (ie plain rice made with chicken stock lol!
Oh please tell me if you do!! It’s so good and makes excellent leftovers!
ok i still have your paella recipe printed up and still want to make it!
This looks fabulous! I like fresh steamed veggies as a side or a frozen bag of veggies as they are so easy to slip in the microwave and heat up. Sides are difficult for me at times too, but I usually do a starch and a veggie

Wow – what a great dish! Sweet potatoes or baby potatoes baked or roasted in the oven with olive oil is great. Certainly rice and quinoa are super nice too. Pasta is a nice idea too. I recently saw on a blog salmon laid on soba noodles – nice idea.
I am so glad you liked the salmon! I think it would be delicious with parmesan, too. We usually just do rice as a side with salmon!
