With the temperature in the
90’s in Atlanta, an anniversary week-end to a great “cabin” (vrbo #180645) in
Highlands, NC, was just the solution. Usually, you can depend on the
temperature in Highlands to be about 10 degrees less than here and the
weatherman smiled upon us with cooler temperatures in the mountains. We arrived there about 7 PM
after a late start for the 2 plus hour trip. Rather than eat out, we were
prepared for dinner “at home.”
With the salmon we bought enroute and the ingredients we found in our new “home” I created Salmon with Gingery Mustard Sauce.
Just mix a little Dijon with some ginger preserves and a dab of low-fat or light mayo. Then, line the pan with foil for easy clean up, (it will burn because of the sugar in the preserves). Spread the salmon with the sauce. Top with cracker crumbs (or not) and bake it at 425 for about 20 minutes.
Ready to go into the oven.
Ready to go into our mouths.
Black beans, a salad and zinfandel were all we needed for a nice dinner. Since the cabin included music, we enjoyed that, too. No dancing, however, he’s not that romantic.
He made omelets for breakfast. I’m not used to this since I’m usually a bowl-of-cereal girl. To lower the fat and cholesterol, he uses 1 whole egg to 3 egg whites and fills the omelet with reduced-fat cheddar (Cabot), chopped spinach and red bell pepper.
Omelet on the way!
Ready for breakfast.
To be continued.......dining out.
