Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls

 Last week's menu had Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls on it.  Billy wasn't impressed.  I however, was impressed.  I was so impressed I not only ate mine, but I ate his (he only took one bite) the next day.  In his defense, he's not a fan of salmon, where I will eat almost any seafood.

I've been a fan of Gina Homolka for several years.  I have all her cookbooks and her website, SkinnyTaste, has been bookmarked in my browser since I found it.  Her recipes are delicious and she gives the WW points for them.  Very helpful if you are following WW.  Gina publishes a weekly menu plan that I have followed before.  As I was browsing her website, I noticed the recipe for Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls.  It looked good so I decided to give it a try.

(Not my picture, this is Gina's picture from her website)

Since I'm a sucker for avocado and I like seafood, I knew I'd enjoy this.  And in totally honesty, I knew Billy probably wouldn't.  But I made it anyway.  The small victories of being the one who cooks LOL  I did not do rice though.  I subbed in cauliflower rice so I wouldn't have the carb count.  I liked it so much I decided to share it here so you could enjoy as well.

Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls
Recipe by Gina Homolka

Ingredients:
2 TBSP honey
1 TBSP sriracha (plus more for serving)
1 TBSP soy sauce
2 tsp minced ginger
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon filets
3 Persian cucumbers (thinly sliced, or 1/3 English cucumber cut into thin half moons)
1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame seed oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3 c cooked short-grain brown rice (I used cauliflower rice)
4 oz avocado, thinly sliced
Furikake seasoning (or sesame seeds, for garnish)

Instructions:
1. Preheat broiler with a rack about 6 inches below it.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
2.  In a small bowl, combine the honey, sriracha, soy sauce and ginger, stir with a fork until the honey dissolves.
3,  Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and place them on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
4.  Brush the salmon with the glaze and cook under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until it's easily flaked with a fork and golden on top.
5.  Meanwhile, combine the sliced cucumber with the rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt.

To Serve:
Place 3/4 cup rice in each bowl.  Divide and top with salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber and a drizzle of sriracha, if desired, plus a sprinkle of furikake seasoning.

I really hope you give this a try and like it.  If you do, let me know, and let Gina know.
Until next time...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?

WIP Wednesday...on Thursday

I started this post yesterday. Several times.  But, I got busy doing other stuff and this got pushed to the side.  I finally have a few free minutes today so I figured I would come back to it LOL  Really, I am procrastinating on doing my last case study for the management class I am taking 😉 So, this is titled WIP Wednesday.  I decided I would start sharing my cross stitch WIPs with you.   I started cross stitching MANY years ago.  I've done pieces and given them as birthday, graduation and wedding gifts.  I made the whole family matching Christmas stockings.  Even got two of the three grandbabies stockings made after a long break from cross stitch while I sewed children's clothes and went to school.  But, I picked cross stitch back up a couple of years ago and quickly remembered why I love it so much.  It's almost mindless work for me.  It keeps my attention just enough to make ignore all else, but not enough thought has to b...
