Halfway There
It was gorgeous out today, the perfect day to enjoy our Chef V Chipotle Bowls al fresco!
After our morning cycle class (and a short stint in the steam room afterward!), Emma and I raced home to prep and eat lunch. We were starving! The sun was out, the sky was blue, so we grabbed a picnic blanket, spread it on the grass in the backyard, and took our food outside. What a lovely treat, especially in February. In Atlanta. Ahhhhh . . .
After lunch, Matthew and I took a brisk walk (his cardio for the day!) into Kirkwood Village to pick up a couple of things while Emma did some tutoring via Skype with one of her LA students. Lots of errands followed, putting us back home around 6:15, all more than ready to eat dinner. We still had lots of prep to do, so Emma started on the fish while I cut and seasoned the veggies. Teamwork has been key to this Challenge! Thank goodness we had the Oscar Red Carpet goings-on to distract us from our hunger.
Since it was Oscar Night, we decided to eat in front of the tv while watching and predicting who would win. Between us, I think we had seen all of the nominated features which made it particularly fun. It was a very late night, but I’m glad we stayed up til the bitter end!

Queen of the Kitchen’s Garlic Lemon Salmon (serves 4)
Ingredients:
4 6-oz salmon fillets
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 lemons, juiced
Salt to taste
Directions:
Heat oven to 350. In a glass dish, mix together the garlic, juice, and salt. Place fillets flesh-side-down in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Prepare a baking sheet by covering with foil. Remove salmon from the marinade (which you need to reserve) and place skin-side-down on the baking sheet, place in the oven, and cook about 8-10 minutes until the fish is no longer shiny in the middle. Serve with reserved marinade on top.
