Last week we stopped by Henry's and noticed while the salmon didn't look that great, the shark filet's did! Score.



Add to that a decent salad (zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, sweet butter lettuce blend, tomatoes, and the last drop of Annie's Naturals roasted pepper? dressing and balsamic vinegar) and Trader Joe's brown rice medley? Delish!

We didn't even over-eat.

Yesterday we were invited coast-side for some BBQ's and beers. Anything barbequed is good, and when you mix it with Alaskan Smoked Porters that have been "brewing" for a year or three? Uhm...YUM!

Mushrooms and squash in butter, garlic, and spices grilled in foil, BBQ chicken with a sweet marinade, and Kashi Rice Pilaf.









Nice somewhat healthy a.m. snack

Downieville food!

Sorry, we didn't sample much of the local eats, but we did cook a lot of food in camp!

Not healthy, but I'm a sucker for sour gummy worms on road trips.

How to make dinner, in just a few easy steps...

It's been awhile, but the foodage hasn't been changed up much. A few nights ago I had a stellar dinner. Here's how it went:

1. Get out the spices 'n stuff



2. Apply to a TON of veggies in a Ziploc(tm) (or is it (R)?) and mix. Lay out your ton of veggies on baking sheets.



3. Get quinoa in a pot ready to boil



4. Get out your killer looking steaks



5. Apply some of those spices to your steaks



6. Cook dinner.

Here's the most important ingredient - a loving spouse to do it all while you ride the trainer!! Key thing there. I got off the trainer and dinner was almost ready to go. Yum-sauce.

The baked veggies (yes, we actually have some LEFT OVER):



Steak and quinoa, ready for veggie application:

I'm ready for my close-up



Perfection



Happy eats.
