Madeline Ballet Flats By Merona

 

Flats, flats and more flats. Yes that's what I wear to work on my feet. I work in a nursing home and do A LOT of walking around on a day-by-day basis. I do love my heels (don't get me wrong) but flats are more comfortable for me to work in.

 

I'm in LOVE with these flats.

30-Day Ab Challenge

 Its the 1st of June, My girlfriends & I have decided to start the 30-Day Ab workout. I'm not doing this to lose weight, I just want to tone my mid-section. 

This is what my mid-section currently looks like:

TGIF....

 

 

I'm a person that LOVES a GREAT DEAL. This past Monday (Memorial Day) my parents & I did a little shopping downtown in the city (NY).

We decided to check out several of the stores that were having sales, Kmart being one of them.

 

 One of the deals that Kmart had were these Bongo Women's Aline Canvas Shoe Eastern  (click here). Kmart had them on sale for $10.00 BUT at check out they were buy one for $5.00 and get the second pair for $1.00. You can't go wrong with this deal. 

 

They come in six different colors. I brought two pairs: Black & Grey in size 5.

Yes I have small feet.

 

 

 

 

I love canvas shoes in general. I find them to be very comfortable, and easy to pair with a lot of outfit's.

Panko..

I love simple yet tasty recipes. This is one of my favorite. Panko & herb crusted salmon with salad.
This was very easy to make.

The salad consisted of:

• lettuce
• spinach
• avocado
• dried cranberries
• yellow and red peppers
• clementines
• walnuts
• cabbage
• cucumbers

Salad dressing: Tonton Ginger Dressing (purchased at Costco)


The Panko-Crusted Salmon:

• 2/3 cups of panko
• minced fresh cilantro (substitute for parsley)
• grated lemon zest
• salt and black pepper
• olive oil
• 3 pieces of salmon fillets (skin on is recommend but the pieces i used did not have skin)
• Dijon mustard
• grated Parmesan cheese

1.  Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
2.  In a bowl,  combine the panko crumbs, cilantro, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, parmesan cheese and olive oil. Stir until everything is mixed together.
3. Add some of the Dijon mustard to both sides of the salmon.
4. Take the salmon and place it in the bowl with the panko mixture. Make sure both sides are coated  with the mixture.
5.  In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the salmon, and sear it for 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Transfer your salmon to an oven pan and place in the oven for 6 to 7 minutes OR until the panko has browned. Remove pan from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes.
7. Ready to serve.

ENJOY
