Citrus Baked Salmon - I was SO excited about this recipe, but personally, wasn't very impressed. Everyone else in the family loved it, but I thought it was just okay.
Orange Rice - I was in the mood to do something fun to go with the salmon and found this recipe at the last minute. Oh. My. Goodness. This rice was so amazing...Ryan, Mike and I were fighting over the last serving. Kaylin thought it looked weird and convinced herself that it was gross, which Mike and I didn't argue with because we both wanted her helping of the rice. :) Moist and full of flavor, I highly recommend that you give this recipe a try!!!
Southwestern Quinoa Casserole - This didn't look like it was going to be a winner at all. I was suspicious up until the moment I took the first bite. I messed with the recipe a bit (I realized I was out of shredded cheese mid-way through cooking and substituted cream cheese instead) so I posted my version of this recipe with my adjustments. It turned out SO delicious! Mike was shocked that it was vegetarian and the kids even licked every last bit from their plates. This was an A+ that will go into our recipe rotation for sure!!!

If you want to shake things up a bit with your baked potato bar, I fell in love with this combination while living in London and going out for pub lunches: shrimp (not breaded) and sweet chili sauce, possibly with a dollop of sour cream to cook it down.
I know it sounds weird, but if you like both shrimp and sweet chili sauce individually, they work really well together here AND are a healthy option (minus the sour cream).
Ooooh, I may be inspired to have that for lunch tomorrow now....just need to go out and buy potatoes, shrimp, and sweet chili sauce! ;-)

Clearly, I meant to say 'cool it down' rather than 'cook it down' in my previous comment. I was just testing you. ;-)
So, I can't wait to try that Quinoa recipe. Sounds divine!
