Waaahoo!! + Simple Salmon Pitas

Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Zesty Cook for this AMAZING header + BEAUTIFUL site!!.. I am sooo soooo sooooo excited!! + I apologize to any retinas I may have burned with the color overload of the old page..

Cheers to Zesty!!

Back on the ranch.. Today I was invited to a great little lunch get together at Kate + Nate‘s with Kath + Matt. We had a great little sandwich + veggie + hummus + fruit + chips + cookie spread!.. My blogging interests lie more with easy + creative recipes rather than a dining diary–So there are no pictures from lunch.. BUT you can check them out here + I do have pictures from a great lunch I made on Tuesday for my friend Cara..

We are taking all of the same classes so we get to spend a good bit of time together   During our 3 hour break on Tuesdays we usually hit up the books pretty hard + sometimes add in a little sidewalk chalk for a variety of learning techniques!.. Note the little anatomy + physiology sidewalk learning session below..

I kept the menu simple–Salmon Pitas + Fruit Salad

5 minute prep before transit + 15 minute prep/cook upon arrival.. Cara was super nice + did the clean up,so I don’t know how long that took

In the Pita:

INGREDIENTS

-TJs frozen Salmon Burgers

-TJs SOYaki Marinade

-sliced summer squash

-1 T flour (any kind will do)

———

-2 C baby spinach

———

-TJs personal size pitas

DIRECTIONS

-Over medium heat cook sliced summer squash + salmon burgers.. I marinated the burgers + squash in the SOYaki for a few hours (I’d recommend 1 hr) and the sauteed it all.. once the liquid started to simmer (meaning:germs = dead!!) I drained most of it off—saving enough liquid in the pan to make a glaze

-To make the glaze simply add the T of flour to the pan during the final stages of cooking!.. mmm mmm

-At the same time in another pan over medium heat wilt the spinach!.. No oil or spray needed.. just spinach + heat!

-Toast Pitas in some form of oven..

-Stuff + Enjoy!!
