My husband and I both accepted new jobs back in December. His requires him to be at work early (and also home early) and mine some times requires late nights. This difference in work schedules has impacted our life schedules too. We're no longer waking up at the same time, which means there's an even wider gap between 'bedtimes' than there used to be. It also means he is home (usually) hours before me at night... waiting for dinner.
Can't blame him... he is usually eating lunch by the time I'm finishing my morning coffee. That's a long time to wait between meals.
So, the dinner goal is often... the faster the better! Those 8pm dinners don't work when he is going to bed right after.
This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner. And it tastes sooo good too! Not much of a mess to clean up afterward either (always a winner in my book). Salmon and a cream sauce go hand-in-hand, quite delectable. The broccoli gives it a slight crunch for texture. And the herbs brighten the dish since cream sauces can feel a little heavy. Yum! I'm ready for a second serving!Read more �

Seems like every night this week I've been rushing to get dinner on the table before 9:00! Whether it's work, after work activities, working on our fitness, or running after kids, we all need a quick go to meal. My first mainstay is tacos, but sometimes get tacoed out (it takes a lot of tacos to get there, but occasionally I reach that tipping point). So my plan B menu item... pizza, of course!
I always have a ball of whole wheat dough in my fridge just waiting to be made into a pizza, stromboli, or calzone thanks to GreenBEAN delivery. It makes homemade pizza night sooo easy!
Usually we stick to traditional red sauce with mostly traditional toppings. But this time I changed things up a bit by making a white pizza! And what goes best with alfredo sauce? Chicken and broccoli! This pizza has become the new favorite in our household. Can't wait to make it again. :)Read more �

If you're like any college student ever, you have probably had your fair share of Ramen noodles in your life. Probably to the point of never wanting to see a pack of those noodles again! But then a couple years ago, Ramen noodles came back in a more sophisticated, trendy way with chunks of fresh salmon and cute little restaurants.
As the Ramen goes, so goes the Soba noodle. Maruchan used to make a yakisoba kit available in the refrigerated section next to the wonton and eggroll wrappers. It had instructions on how to prepare vegetables to go along with your soba noodles and "yaki" sauce pack. Several years ago, they got rid of that option and opted for a version just like those Ramen noodles we loved to hate in college. Added in more preservatives to give it a shelf life of forever and has about a teaspoon of dried veggie pieces to try to pass as real yakisoba. Ugh.
Well, now soba noodles are getting trendy and I'm loving this Japanese fast food!
In this recipe, we're piling on the veggies and they happen to be all green (with at least one serving of green veggies per plateful, you're mom approves of this recipe). The sesame oil makes this dish a real treat with tons of flavor. And it truly is fast food, taking less than 30 minutes from start to finish.Read more �
