Let’s face it. I simply cannot eat Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies that often. If I did, I’d be in BIG trouble! Wanna know how I repent my food sins? I make something ridiculously healthy afterwards and eat that way for a few days. When I was younger, I could have a salad for my next meal and I was free from the tremendous gluttony I subjected myself to. Now, it takes a few days and then I’m in good shape. Some days I eat cereal for dinner because I’m lazy and it’s low in calories. Sucks getting old, huh? I’ve learned that in life, it’s all about balance.
So here’s a nice little recipe I picked up from the recent Body + Soul magazine. It’s totally spa food in the sense that it makes you feel healthy & light after you eat it. You’ll wanna reach for some after a sweaty yoga session or perhaps after you made a lunch out of peanut butter cookies! I was thrown off a little with the addition of buttermilk in the recipe, but somehow it worked out really well. It’s light, slightly creamy, tangy and super simple! With the addition of chives (from my garden!) and salmon, it’s hearty and zesty! If you are a fan of the peppery nature of arugula and the spiciness of radishes, you’ll appreciate the watercress in this dish too! I totally thought Casey wouldn’t be down with this recipe because it isn’t a *meat & potatoes* dish but I’m happy to report he ate more than a few servings! Now that I finished eating healthy…what kind of food sins can I commit now?
