Salmon Bowl





OMG YUM!!
I was disappointed and just out right PISSED when I went to make some rice and couldn't find any soy sauce in the house. Not even a friggin packet from Chinese take out was left. Dammit, I wanted a big bowl of rice and fish, so this was born. It was the perfect balance of everything PLUS I added 1/2 cup of Barley to the rice maker alongs with the rice ^_^
I added some mixed veggies to the rice as well to give it some more body just... you need to eat your vegetables :p
1 cup of Barley and Rice
1/8 cup Edamame
1/8 cup Shredded carrots
1/8 cup julienned red pepper
4oz Salmon piece seasoned with salt and lemon pepper
A sprinkling of the seaweed sprig shaker ^_^
Small amount of sesame oil and powered ginger

*These jars of rice seasonings can be picked up from any Asian market. They have quite a few to choose from , which I had to pick ALL of them up for quick and easy rice balls.

A Zumba life for me

If I would have had better direction in my middle school- high school years, I would have been a dancer. Or at least , I thought I HAD to "Make it" to Julliard for Performing arts and move to New York, NY and all that wakka wakka jazz but... life took me a different direction. Through culinary school, to vet tech school and here I am. Finally doing something of the many SOMETHING'S that I have a burning desire to peruse.
Dancing always being one...

I was FINALLY able to get my Zumba certfication license to teach! Of all things in life, THIS feels right.
My family is rather large an musically inclined. I grew up singing in choir, playing the violin, and dancing.
This is just second nature for me... Plus I can help people achieve their weight loss and body goals through dance? This makes me fell purpose...

I really wish I could figure out this blog editing and what not a lot faster! I can watch a music video and be able to pretty much mimic all the choreo but cannot seem to get this down right! Blarg! Hang in there with me ... if anyone's there... Hello?

Here is me in my Zumba gear ready for my certification February 21-2013 and my bag of goodies for the day!
I made sure to bring my extra change of clothes and plenty of snacks :D
There go my Zumba mommies, Stephanie and April <3
This is going to be Epic in every definition of the word... not that crap that people title "EPIC" and its something lame as shit like they got their hands one of the last boxes of Twinkies when Hostess went out of business, or some lame brain stuff and unsupervised 8 year old is doing with their parents phone or device that has a recording function to it... No..
This is going to be awesome. Plain and Simple.
