salmon blt wrap

I have to say, it amazes me the stuff my kids will eat… that even I won’t. While I do eat and like meat and fish I’m not what you would call a “meat person”. As in, I’m not slurping down bone marrow and gnawing on turkey drumsticks. Which is interesting because I know a lot of people have that perception of a paleo diet. As someone who grew up eating boneless, skinless chicken breasts I have my meat limits. But I digress… my kids WILL gnaw the meat right off of a turkey or chicken bone. They looove sauerkraut, kombucha (hold your horses.. I don’t let them guzzle bottles of it), and SALMON SKIN! It’s their favorite part. They beg for mine which I happily give them. I know I should be eating it as it’s loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids… but what can I say, I’m a good mom and the kiddos need it for their brain development. Ha. That and it grosses me out.

Anyways, I DO love salmon though. I love how easy it is to prepare and how versatile it is. And it’s perfect to make when you’re having guests over because it seems fancier than it is. This week’s One-Day Sale Item at Whole Foods is Wild Coho Salmon. And while I was thinking of a recipe to come up with for it,  someone had just posted a picture of their BLT sandwich onto Instagram, which of course left me craving a BLT sandwich. So, I realized I could to the same with the salmon as the flavors would fit really well together… and guess what? They totally do! I didn’t load up on the bacon and tomato so as not to compete with the salmon.

This is a pretty easy recipe that anyone can make. Want to know the hardest part? Being patient enough not to flip the darn salmon too soon while it’s cooking up in the pan! Seriously people, don’t be an early flipper. It will leave you with a salmon mess in the pan. While it’s cooking, put your feet up, pour some wine, and CHILL. Let the pan do it’s thing. And just like boiling water, staring at it won’t make it cook any faster. It’s just going to make you want to flip it. Resist it. Sip your wine. Chill.

Once the salmon is done you can choose to leave the skin on or off. I think you know my choice. 😉

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
