Recipe of the Week: Catching up!

Since I haven't posted recipes for like 3 weeks, here is another one for you to enjoy this week! Dinner tonight was Asian Sesame Salmon, garlic and olive oil green beans, and rice, so yummy. Well at least I think so. The rest of the family isn't a huge fish fan. Alissa ate some, but pretty sure she got a huge onion on the first bite so then wasn't thrilled about eating anymore. And the hubby, well fish isn't really his thing! haha

Asian Sesame Salmon
(made with McCormick Recipe Inspirations)

1 recipe inspirations asian sesame salmon package (or the same spices used in it)
1/3 c honey
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 lbs. salmon fillets (we just use 2 fillets cause that is all we eat)

1. Mix honey, green onions, soy sauce, and all of the spices except red pepper in small bowl. Stir in red pepper to taste (we don't use the red pepper). Place salmon in baking dish. Spoon mixture evenly over salmon.

2. Roast salmon in preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily, basting occasionally with honey mixture.

Chopped!

Got a new chopper a month ago and have only used it a few times since then, mostly this past week! I had been using a hand chopper, similar to the slap chop or whatever they are called, but the blades were getting really dull and it was not chopping anything anymore!  I hate chopping veggies! I think because I never really learned how to chop them properly so it takes me forever!  So I thought for only a few dollars more I will try an electric chopper.  Here is what I got:

I bought it from Kohls, and with Kohls cash and coupon I spent $18! Bought it online and with a few other items I also got free shipping! 

So far I like it.  It is very very similar to my BabyCook  (other than it doesn't steam the food too).  But it chops really well, is small and easy to store, and is easy to clean.  I have found it is a little difficult to get nice chunks of veggies like shown in the picture because it chops so well. Definitely ended up with mushed onions instead of chopped onions the first time I used it!  But it has a pulse button, and once you master that it makes things a little easier.  I am sure they have some that work a little bit better if you want to spend a little bit more. But for $18 it gets the job done!
