Salmon Burger Bonanza

My lunch today was quite fishy… Fishy Friday! 😀

I had a SeaPak salmon burger on a whole wheat sandwich thin with dill dijonaise and portobello mushrooms.

Fishy Lunch

I made the dijonaise with light Miracle Whip, dijon mustard and dill. It added a nice touch of creaminess to my  sandwich.

Dill Dijonaise

I also enjoyed carrot sticks and pickles on the side.

Yum, Yum

Because my sweet tooth just wouldn’t be satisfied after a savory lunch, I also packed a cup of Chobani Greek yogurt that I topped with thawed frozen raspberries to have for dessert.

Raspberries + Yogurt

Oh-So-Colorful

I love the vibrant color the raspberries add to a simple yogurt cup. Tasty, tasty.

Pre-Dinner Milkshake

What better way to kick off the weekend than with a McDonald’s triple thick pumpkin milkshake? How have I never tried this shake before???

Pumpkin Milkshake

Ryan and I split this shake after taking Sadie on a nice long walk. Since it’s ridiculously hot in Florida right now, a milkshake sounded perfect! Oh-my-gosh-this-was-too-tasty! We both fell instantly in love. It almost made me forget how yummy McD’s shamrock shakes are… almost.

After our lil’ treat, we cooked up a slightly more nutritious dinner.

I chopped come brussels sprouts and tossed them with olive oil, salt and pepper before roasting them in the oven at 400 degrees for 12 minutes on one side before flipping them and roasting them for another 5 minutes on the other side.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

While the lil’ brussels were roasting, I tossed a salmon burger and some onion slices on the griddle and toasted a whole wheat Arnold’s sandwich thin. I topped the bread with light mayo, dijon mustard and dill and slices plum tomatoes.

Dinnah!

Dinner was quite yummy (but the milkshake was yummier). 🙂

Now Ryan and I are having quite the hot Friday night full of laundry, cleaning and packing! As one of my gifts to Ryan for his birthday, I booked us a weekend stay in Ft. Lauderdale and we’re leaving early in the in the morning. I can’t wait! We’re staying in a boutique hotel right near the beach. It’s our first vacation as an engaged couple. Woop, woop!

Our Hotel

I’m bringing my camera and computer along in hopes of making a blog post over the weekend, but I make no promises! 🙂 Happy Weekend!
