Saturday Work Out

The weather is beautiful here in Southern California today and one of my favorite weekend activities is taking my boys to the park.  They have fun and get to get rid of some energy.  Now, what is mom to do while the kids are playing??  Sit on the bench??  Read a book??  Stalk people on Facebook??  

My choice is to get rid of some energy myself.  I follow the routine outlined below...usually twice.  Remember to take a towel with you so you can do some stretching afterwards as well.  Even if you don't have a park nearby, you can do this work out in your yard.  Too cold where you live??  Guess what....you can do this work out in doors as well.

Happy Saturday!!!

My Favorite Salmon Patties

This is quite possibly the quickest, yummiest and healthiest thing I have ever made!!  I absolutely LOVE salmon patties but don't like to use canned salmon and having to add in mayo and breadcrumbs to make it bind into a patty.  Well, I found some frozen shrimp on markdown and had some salmon and.....well, the rest his history.  

It's so quick and easy and with only 5 ingredients, it is a frequent go-to meal when I am in a hurry or short on time after a long day at work.  

Here is what I used:

2 oz fresh salmon

5 pieces shrimp, cooked & devained

-Dill weed

-Parsley

-Garlic Powder

Mix salmon and shrimp in the food processor.  Once it is at desired consistency add in dill, parsley & garlic.  (I don't tell you measurements because everyone's tastes are different.  I LOVE dill and put in more than most people might prefer.  lol)

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in skillet.  

Place formed patty into heated oil and cook until browned on both sides.

Serve with fresh lemon slices.
