Taking A Time Out
Oh, don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere – you’ll still get your daily fix of my food creations!
I just decided to spend the evening at home, relaxing in my pajamas, with the fur baby. I think she was feeling a bit neglected and lonely last night, because she was super lovey-dovey when I went to bed, and was still curled up right next to me in the morning. Usually I only get that kind of lovin’ when I’ve been away for the weekend! Obviously, she was trying to tell me something (fortunately without using her claws).
Since I was chillaxin’, I needed dinner to involve the least amount of effort as possible. Good thing I had leftovers in the fridge to work with.
I grilled up a salmon burger, and topped it with tzatziki.
Then I reheated the rest of my roasted garlic wasabi potatoes from the other night.
As well as the rest of the stanky steamed broccoli/cauliflower, which I promptly topped with a little shredded cheddar.
Minimal effort, awesome dinner. Love it!
I was able to catch the last of the setting sun to take photos as well! Yay!
I then spent the rest of the evening working out moving logistics with my mom on the phone (there’s alot of coordination when you have 3 people coming on the ferry to help you move), sort of watching tv, harassing the cat, and doing dishes. I also got in a little pseudo pedicure – trust me, my feet need all the help they can get! Eventually, it was snack time.
I chopped up 1/4 of a honeydew melon, then added the end of the container of So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream (the coconut flavour), and whizzed it up with the immersion blender. Then I put it back in the freezer for a good 30 min or so to get a little more frosty.
(as I was typing this, Sienna just launched herself onto my desk, and then back off – she obviously has the evening crazies)
I love honeydew and I love coconut. This was awesome! Why do they not make a honeydew gelato? Because they should. I’d be all over that.
And I guess that about sums up my day. Time to get some sleep – I’m determined to NOT oversleep again tomorrow. Night!
wow everythangg looks delish! i <3 your blog!
Honeydew and Coconut?! There’s a refreshing combination you don’t see everyday. I’ll be sure to give it a try.
Even though its kind of scary…I love it when my cat gets the crazies!
I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t like honeydew… but i do like coconut! I love when my cat goes nuts because it totally cracks me up!
Honeydew gilato would be amazing!! Never thought of the honeydew coconut combo before!
happy Friday!
What a tasty looking (and healthy) meal! Honeydew gelato would be absolutely tasty. I bet someone makes it out there….you’ve just got to search, or make your own!! I bet it’s not too hard, but you’ll have to get an ice cream maker.
I love honey dew! My dog is like a cat in that she only wants attention on her terms so when she starts acting crazy and actually wants to cuddle with me, I know she’s feeling neglected! Our poor fur children!
Love that delicious dinner! Yum. And the honeydew ice cream looks amazing! I know, honeydew gelato would be incredible! Mmmm!
What a relaxing evening!! Amazing dinner, salmon burgers are sooo good!
Honeydew gelato is a great idea!
i like anything with coconut, but honeydew gelato does sound awesome.

Love that dinner, looks so yummy tasty!
I have to try the melon & So Delicious mix. I was contemplating adding canteloupe to mine the other day!
Hi I’m relatively new to blogging, just started my own and have just come across your blog. I have to say I love the foodie pictures and your recipes
hahah YES why DOn’t they make a honey dew gelato??? You are so full of great flavor ideas!!! I think you would looove Hong Kong!! They combined flavors of the most interesting things like tofu gelato, curry and rice flavored ice-cream…it would be so fun showing you around.
Hope you have a faabulous weekend! I need to do myself up a little too….pedicure season is still…a couple weeks ago from Chicago. *sigh*
Everytime you cook up a salmon burger I get a craving for one!!! Too bad I can’t find them anymore.
LOVE you honeydew creation!
You always make your cheddared veggies look so delicious and perfect. I mean I know broc and melted cheese is a drool worthy dish as is but you manage to make it look 10x more delicious every time you have it!
I’d totally buy honeydew gelato.
Love the honeydew concoction! Delish.
