Fish and Veggies

When I'm watching what I eat, my go to meal is fish and veggies! I love to get fresh salmon, bake it and serve it with whatever vegetable I'm feeling that day.

Today, I'm having baked salmon, lemon pepper and olive oil baked eggplant and steamed broccoli with a little butter and cheese. Check it out:

 

 

 

I typically cook these in mass and make containers for work and home for the week. I don't like to get burnt out though, so I usually make a variety of veggies and only enough fish for 2-3 days.

 

For any recipe request, let me know in the comment section below. Happy, healthy eating!

Chicago Deep Dish

Two weekends ago, I went to Chicago and tested two local deep dish hot spots: Giordanos and Lou Malnatis. Check out some photos:

At Giordano's (first photo) I had just a plain cheese pizza and it was delicious! It paired nicely with a local brew (312). As Lou Malnatis (second photo), I customized my order and got a cheese pizza base with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and olives.

Although, I liked the ingredients better of the second pizza I preferred Giordano's! I cannot wait to go back and try other famous hot spots. What is your favorite Chicago deep dish restaurant? How do you deep dish or do you prefer thin crust?

Soul Food

Being from the South, I LOVE soul food. Lucky for us pescatarians near the Gulf of Mexico, soul food loves us back! As much as I love bagels and lox, I think the rest of the U.S. needs to try shrimp and grits or catfish and grits!

Recently, my boyfriend and I went to The Breakfast Klub in Houston, Texas. This place is known for it's amazing southern comfort food and their ridiculously long lines. We waited for an hour and half the other Sunday and it was SO worth it.

I could not believe that I found a place that made catfish (or Katfish as they call it) and grits as good as my moms! Their coffee was on point too. Here's some photos of the Katfish and Grits that I had:

This weekend, shake up your typical breakfast and try a southern classic instead!

P.S. I got a new camera for my birthday so hopefully I'll up the quality of my food pictures. However, a cell phone is just so convenient sometimes!
