Good morning, my friends!
I had my mom over for diner last night! Matt had a work dinner to attend so I thought it would be fun to have a girls night in. 
First requirement: Prosecco, obviously!
We cooked a Blue Apron meal together, which is one of my favorite ways to have someone over for dinner without it being stressful/requiring planning. Matt was not sad to miss a fish dinner, although I think he would have liked this one!
This was the Meyer Lemon-Glazed Catfish with Ginger Collard Green and Cracked Freekeh Salad. The lemon was basically a quick candied peel – so good and unique! I used half the sugar they gave us (I don’t like things too sweet!) and it was perfect – you just mix the sugar, water, and sliced lemon in a pan then simmer until it reduces and softens. Apparently a Meyer lemon is a cross between a common lemon and a mandarin orange. It looks a little like an orange – I thought they gave us one by accident!
We had fun catching up while making the meal together!
I added a little extra greens to the mix because we had some on hand to use up.
Dinner is served! Have you guys had freekeh before? (We were cracking up pronouncing that, btw – freeeeekehhhh!!!) It’s an ancient wheat grain that is harvested while young and green, then roasted. It’s really good – kind of like cracked wheat.
Yum! Thanks for joining me, mom!
This morning I was up early for a little Urban Athletic Club action via ClassPass (<—affiliate link for $20 off your first month) with Chelsea and Kathleen. Tough as always! I followed it up with my Flour Free Breakfast Pancake (<- recipe) back at home.
Topped with raspberries, pumpkin seeds, and slivered almonds this time! Delish.
And now, back to work! I don’t have any meetings this afternoon so I’m planning to take the opportunity to work on some writing projects. Heads down!
Have a great day!
