Life with Little Kids

Oh my gosh you guys! If you love salmon as much as I do then you HAVE GOT to try this awesome and soo easy recipe!

It’s so quick and according to my husband (my main taste tester) this recipe is a 10! And he doesn’t just say that to be nice, if he doesn’t like something he lets me know. 😏 True story.

And the other taste testers in the house are 5 and younger and my 2 year-old usually replies “Um no I don lick that mommy, tha yuckky.”

Have you ever been told off by a 2 year-old? Sometimes I applaud her for doing such a good job of talking in jibberish while attempting to put me in my place. Like the other day I was picking up her doll off the floor when immediately she got upset and started raging that baby was sleeping and I needed to leave her alone or I will go to timeout followed by A LOT of no, no, no mommy.

I didn’t even know what to say! I mean I couldn’t even understand half of what she was saying and the other half had me stuck at the word timeout! My sweet little girl was threatening to put me, her mother, in a timeout.

Kids! They always surprise me.
The trick is to just bring them to some giggles and they forget about the whole thing a minute later. And I can’t let her stay in that sassy mode for too long or she never gets out of it. 😂

Salmon Just Rocks

Yep, my days are filled with 15 piece puzzles, coloring zoo animals, and making the latest and greatest craft that I can find on Pinterest. And I absolutely love it. But that doesn’t mean at the end of the day that I’m not ready for a tried and true grown-up meal. No tator tots (most of the time), No cereal, No crackers, No NO NO. Just a REAL grown-up meal.

That said, I am ready for the Best Salmon with Lemon and Thyme! Or maybe even the Surf & Turf we recently made. That was pretty good too!

And when you do decide to make salmon, you want it to turn out just perfect! And that is what this recipe is all about! The most perfect salmon that is flaky and tender and certainly not dried out…dry salmon is no good.

Salmon Really Is That Good

When salmon is cooked just right, it is one of the best things ever! And it is not a bad idea to add salmon or another type of fish into your diets on a routine basis. It is a great source of protein with less saturated fat when compared to beef so 👉 maybe consider swapping salmon or tuna for that hamburger once in awhile. Your body and mind will benefit.

The omega 3 fatty acid, DHA, may improve memory and if eaten regularly over time may prevent memory problems and possibly even Alzheimer’s. A diet high in fruits in vegetables promotes good memory and is good for your heart too! 😉

Eating fish this tasty…well let’s just say I could eat this more than twice a week!! YUM YUM!!
Plus, the more you eat it this way, the more likely you are to remember to do it!!

Hope you enjoy this!!
