Hey, Look at My Food.

Oh how I love to post about food!

Dinner!

Tonight I made hash browns with a lovely salmon (patty) sandwich with an egg, arugula, and provolone.  I have heard on various (usually competitive) cooking programs that you're not really supposed to serve fish with cheese, but I do what I want and what do I know?  

Here's how I like to make the hash browns (which is completely different from the way my husband makes them.)  I started tonight with slices of purple onion and mushrooms.  

When the onions were soft, I took out a few and put them on a sandwich I started for tomorrow's lunch.  Basically just some arugula, spinach, and provolone.  

for tomorrow's lunch

Then I added the hash browns on top of the remaining onions & mushrooms.  These are just boring old frozen bagged hash browns.  Although I sometimes go that whole absolutely homemade route, I usually do have these on hand most of the time.

The cool thing I like about using the sliced (rings) of the onions is for the flip.  They just look pretty.  The most difficult part of this for me is that I have to wait and let them cook and just not mess with them for at least 10 minutes!

Yum.  

Meanwhile, I started frying some again pre-made frozen salmon burgers.  Placed on the (homemade) whole wheat bread--that's my husband's baby--with cheese and arugula (why not put some on everything?).  After I looked at my creation, I wasn't visually satisfied, so I fried an egg and put it on top.  So Yummy!  A tomato slice would have been nice here.

While the burgers cooked, I made a smoothie for tomorrow's lunch.  I eat a lot.  Into the Vita-mix went a couple of handfuls of spinach, an apple, an orange, and a banana.  Here's the before and after:

Smoothie to be.

This goes in the lunch.

So, tomorrow I'll have the green smoothie, grilled cheese w/mushrooms, onions, arugula and spinach, a little bag o' salt & pepper kettle chips, and a container of plain greek yogurt topped with strawberries picked today from the garden.

I love making my own lunch.  It's delicious, nutritious, AND it's pretty.
