Healthier Eating And A Treat

Lunch today:  baked salmon, rice, corn, green beans.

Rice made with our new Zojirushi rice cooker - was able to set it in the morning and program it to be done at 12:30. The rice was perfect. 

And for the treat:  a Bodum coffee press. Simple to use, dishwasher safe, and the coffee is rich with a depth of flavor not found in an everyday coffeemaker. 

Both were ordered and delivered yesterday within 2 hours at no extra cost using the new Amazon Now service.  You can order for delivery within an hour for an $8 fee, but you can get an order within 2-3 hours for no charge. We ordered for 2-hour delivery, and it still arrived within an hour. Very nice.

Sunday Lunch - Easter Edition

Barbecue baked chicken:  chicken breasts marinated in a mixture of barbecue sauce, orange marmalade, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and celery seed, then baked at 450 for 30 minutes.

Roasted new potatoes:  Yukon gold new potatoes sliced in half, then quartered, then tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, a little garlic powder, and rosemary.  Cooked on the lowest rack at the same time as the chicken.

Sliced carrots:  canned carrots heated on the stovetop with little salt and a tablespoon of orange marmalade.

Rounded out with hard-boiled eggs and garlic dill pickles.

Pretty easy and tasty, and not too much of a strain on my diet.
