Peppered Honey Dijon Salmon

HONEY DIJON SALMON

This was my lunch today and it took 5 min to make! I work full time and have my baby twin girls so I don't have time to make big meals so this was perfect, fast, clean, and protein packed. Its smoked salmon and it comes in a package. I love it! I have to simplify! Thats basically why this post is even short! LOL. Plus I want to show you can eat healthy without having to take a ton of time. I always hear people say " oh I dont have time to eat healthy" NOT TRUE.  Real issue: eating healthy is not a priority! You can eat healthy if fast if you buy the right things!

So here is a simple meal.For the veggies I just put them in the George Forman grill for a few minutes until they are cooked. Then I salt and pepper them after!  The salmon you literally unwrap and throw it on top. Its the peppered one. LITERALLY takes 5 minutes!

And here is the rest of the ingredients:

Spinach

Grape tomatoes

Asparagus

Chopped zucchini

One peppered salmon filet  (pictured below)

Optional: chopped avocado

Dressing:

1/2 tbs(1.5 tsp)  Dijon mustard

1/2 tbs(1.5tsp) lemon juice

1 tsp honey 

Mix well and pour over salad

This is the package of Peppered Salmon I used. They have different kinds cajun regular etc. Costco carries them and lots of grocery stores.

Keylime Cheesecake Mug Cake

KEYLIME CHEESECAKE MUGCAKE

I am obsessed with keylime things and I love cheesecake. So why not put them together in a healthy way .  Mugcakes are a fast easy way to make a treat for one! Which is what i need most the time. If i make a whole cake the consequences will be disastrous!!! SERIOUSLY!  So mug cakes are a great alternative and still knock out my sweet tooth! They bake up in just minutes and are spongy soft little cakes! Mine of course is packed with protein and very low in carbs. Its not overly Limey just a perfect amount. My whole foods store carries KEYLIME yogurt pretzels...YES they are unreal so I crush one of those on top along with 3 cinnamon french toast goldfish (from target) and the cheesecake topping was a song to my taste buds. Enjoy friends !

1/8tsp about 2 -3 pinches lime sugar free jello or to your taste buds 

1 tsp instant sugar free cheesecake pudding mix 

2.5 tbs cottage cheese 

1/2 tsp baking powder 

Optional but fun: 2 drops green good coloring

 Microwave for 1 -2 min in a large mug(Spray mug first). Mine took 1:15 

Cheesecake Frosting : 

1 tbs fat free cream cheese 

3 tbs cottage cheese 

1 & 1/4 tsp cheesecake instant fat-free pudding mix

 4-6 drops vanilla creme stevia drops(pinch or two of stevia may work if you don't have the drops)

 1/2 tbs almond milk

 Topped with a 3 crushed cinnamon toast gold fish or teddy Graham's AND our whole foods store sells KEYLIME yogurt covered pretzels so I crushed one of those on top as well.
