Salmon BLT Delicousness

 While trying to decide what to make for dinner tonight I recalled a conversation with my friend Davis (Primal Bacon-lover) about whether he missed a good BLT.  He said that you could probably make a good BLT salad with mayonnaise dressing so today that's just what I did and it was delicious.

 Salmon BLT Salad (served 2 adults and one 4 year old)

1 14.75 oz can Wild Caught Salmon (skins removed if you like)
6oz cherry tomatoes cut in half
3-4 TBS Olive Oil Mayo
1 TBS capers
2 TBS liquid from the capers
1/2 package of bacon cut into small pieces*
Spring Mix Lettuce
fresh ground pepper

1. Cook Bacon until crispy
2. Combine mayo, capers, and caper juice.  Toss in tomatoes and give a good grind of pepper.
3. Fill serving bowls with spring mix and top with salmon.  Then top with tomato-mayo concoction.
4. Sprinkle bacon on top and enjoy!

*I use my kitchen scissors to cut the raw bacon into small pieces before cooking it.

Zucchini Carbonara

After a long hiatus I have decided to return to this blog.  My food sensibilities have definitely evolved since I was last posting (Currently I am trying the Primal Diet) but the title still applies so I decided to stick with it.
I am often asked to share a recipe and I have to type it up and send it via email to whoever has requested it.  Instead I am just going to put my recipes and food ideas on this blog and perhaps it will help someone somewhere to decide "what's for dinner?" (or dessert!)

Tonight's dinner comes to you by the fact that organic zucchini was on sale 2lbs for $3.  I bought a big bag full and had to come up with an easy dinner to make use of my bargain. And mushrooms, we always have mushrooms because they are Viola's(the 4 year old) favorite,  I saved the double one to show her.

 I cut half of a package of bacon into small pieces.  I use scissors to cut most meat (chicken, bacon, fish, thin beef) because its easier.  I learned to use my kitchen scissors whenever possible from my sister-in-law.

 I threw in some slightly freezer burned peas.

 I have to admit that I did not measure the cheese.

Zucchini Carbonara

6-7 small zucchini, cut into fork-able pieces
1 8oz package white mushrooms, sliced
6oz bacon cut into small pieces
olive oil
frozen peas
2 eggs
1 cup shredded parmesan
salt and pepper

Fry bacon in pan until cooked.  Add mushrooms and a good glug of olive oil since the mushrooms will probably soak up all of your bacon grease.  Saute until mushrooms are soft.  Add zucchini and cook until desired tenderness is achieved.  While that is cooking lightly beat eggs in a small bowl, add cheese, salt, and pepper.  When vegetables are cooked remove from heat and immediately pour egg mixture over and stir.  
Serve.

I thought it was delicious.  Husband said that he liked it too but chased his Primal (grain free) dinner with two pieces of buttered toast.
