Asparagus, Sweet Potato Fries, Salmon.

=> Dinner this evening involved some "getting rid of food before they go bad", namely the asparagus that was bought a week ago. It worked out great since it became the veggie portion of our dinner as we're trying our best to eat healthy (I mean, 2/3 of us ARE in kin).



Yes, it's a Disney Princesses and Toy Story placemat. We also have a Winnie the Pooh one that I didn't take a picture of. Oh wells, tomorrow?

$30 salmon (divided into 9 portions, 6 of which are in the freezer and 3 for tonight's dinner)
$2 .75ish asparagus
$5 sweet potatoes

Salmon was kept moist by drizzling it with soy sauce, seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set at 425F for 20 minutes.
Asparagus was pan seared with butter, salt, pepper and just a hint of EVOO. Toss until tender.
Sweet potato fries was seasoned with (***need to be edited by H***) and baked with the salmon. We discovered that they did need to be baked for probably quite a bit longer... but hey that's how you learn right? It was still yummy though so whatevs!

=> Dinner was followed by Swiss Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake (see previous post) since we made it late last night... but I have a feeling we'll be having this cake as dessert tomorrow too since it's quite big (that's what she said).

As always, enjoy and remember...

You don't need to be Marie Antoinette to eat cake!
