weekend review: post-thanksgiving meals

Figure 1. Thanksgiving spread. Check out this post for the details on what we ate.

 Figure 2. Saturday night's dinner: salmon paprika (I cook mine in a pan, 4 minutes on each side on medium-high heat. This is a great stand-by salmon recipe with a solid 8/10 tastiness rating), a warm spinach and broccoli salad (the boyfriend even raved about this and we finished off the entire bowl in one sitting; 9/10), and leftover roasted butternut squash.

Figure 3. Out of the oven: skinny tuna noodle casserole.
 
Figure 4. Sunday night's dinner: skinny tuna noodle casserole (this casserole took my back to my tuna helper days and I loved every moment of it!; 9/10) alongside my another favorite standby, a lemony arugula salad (7/10).

  2. Thanksgiving looked amazing, and is it bad that my eyes were instantly drawn to the huge bowl of [what I think are] mashed potatoes? Swooooon. Hope your post holiday week is off to a great start :)
