A salmon recipe… say what! Yes it’s true. And this recipe is so so easy and delicious. A ridiculously simple dressing recipe with 4 ingredients that will make you love kale so very much. This recipe could totally be your full meal but my favorite way to enjoy it is adding some crispy potatoes on the side. Pure perfection! Matt doesn’t love fish so we don’t eat it super often but I know i want Ruthie to be exposed to lots of seafood as she grows up. It is so great for you and has tons of omega 3s which are great for anyone but especially growing little minds!
Poor little Ruthie is sick this week with a runny nose, cough and the saddest red and watery eyes ever. I am doubling up on elderberry syrup and liquids this week to hopefully keep from getting sick myself but it’s so hard not to give her a million kisses, or dodge her coughing in my face! So we are going to stay home this week, eat good food, get extra cuddles and hope she gets better by Friday when we have a wedding to go to. If you are in the same boat it’s time for extra nutrients so let’s KALE IT!
Aren’t these salads just beautiful?!
