smoked salmon egg casserole

I have a new recipe for you! We made this for dinner during the "snow storm". It was simple, flavorful, and very filling. We love eggs anytime of day which makes this dish versatile. B's aunt sent us smoked salmon from California for Christmas so this dish was extra delicious! The inspiration from the dish came from this recipe.

1c zucchini, diced

1c mushrooms, diced

1 green pepper, diced

1/2c spinach, chopped

1/2c feta

1/2c smoked salmon, diced

6 eggs

1/2c skim milk

Salt and pepper

 

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a baking dish that was sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 30 minutes or until cooked through. Enjoy!

snow day

It's another snow day. Hopefully the roads will open and I can make it in to work for a few hours today. Yesterday was another snow day so I made the best of it and tried to be productive at home!  Instead of showing you another photo of our lack of snow I thought I would share a picture of real snow:

Things I completed on my snow day:

1. a killer workout

2. a trip to Starbucks which was closed

3.  worked on a project for a few hours

4. studied for the NBCOT exam

5. washed my hair

6. looked outside at it not snowing...

Productivity at its best!

roasted pepper and tomato soup

Since it was "chilly" on Friday I made soup and whole wheat scones for dinner. Yes, chilly is a relative term but since everything was shut down I decided to call Friday winter and make soup.

3T evoo

2 red bell peppers, cut into chunks

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

4 roma tomatoes

10 cherry tomatoes

1T herbs de provence

pepper

Preheat oven to 500. Toss bell peppers in 2T evoo. Roast in dish for 40 minutes.

Sautee onion and celery in 1T evoo until translucent. Add tomatoes and herbs. Cook for about 20 minutes until tomatoes are soft and juices have been released. Add roasted red peppers. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Reheat then serve immediately with  fresh baked scones.

Home cooking can be so simple. Soup is such a great way to use up vegetables in the fridge and eat healthy at the same time. And when you cannot get out of your neighborhood due to a "snow storm" it was the best thing I could think of!

P.S. Here is a picture of our snow day. Please chuckle with me.

 

Warby Parker

Hey readers, have you ever heard of Warby Parker? Its a glasses company. I have been contemplating a new pair of glasses since I spend a great deal of time looking at a computer at work. Yes, I have 3 other pairs all with my current subscription but I like to have options. I think I want something chunky so I ordered 5 trial pairs. One got eliminated right away. Here are the other 4:

AINSWORTH in elderberry
SLOAN in rum cherry
WINSTON in revolver black
PRESTON in gimlet tortise

Thoughts? Opinions? There are tons of color options for each but I put the photos in my order of preference!

P.S. They are calling for snow again on Tuesday. Over/under a 50% chance school is cancelled again?!? Atleast this time it would be on a day when I would get paid to stay home!

InstaFriday

Happy snow day! We are at home today as LSU and Pennington are both closed. Once we defrosted the car we tried to go out... but the interstate is closed, the bridge out of our area is closed, and the long way around seemed like way too much work. It's officially a snow day and we have only had a dusting of snow early in the morning.

Here's some of my photos from the past week:

1. I did a grocery store run for a food study at work. I felt like people were judging me for buying unhealthy food. But it was fun to go grocery shopping for work!

2. I walked LSU lake on the weekend. The weather was beautiful. It was nice to soak in some sun.

3. We have been obsessed with Trader Joe's oatmeal. I like mine with maple syrup and half a banana.

4. Severe weather?!? It's all relative!

Have a great weeknd!
