Salmon Scramble

August 8, 2012 by Julie 54 Comments

Last night I began to understand what the hype is all about surrounding Gone Girl.

gone girl

I’ve heard from many of you who are number 400+ on your library’s wait list for this book. Insane! The wait list was crazy-long at my library as well, so I bought Gone Girl through Amazon last week (I love two day shipping!) and am already enjoying it. Mysteeerious!

Workout

My workout this morning yet again followed Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp and included three different sets of supersets with five minutes of cardio thrown in between. I wasn’t as enamored with today’s workout as I was with some of the strength workouts from last week, but it is always good to change things up and keep the ol’ body guessing. I really liked the way cardio was spread out through the workout though. That kept me sweatin’!

Breakfast

The minute I started opening a can of salmon to use in this morning’s breakfast, a furry little guest arrived at my feet.

Sadie becomes quite the helpful apprentice anytime she hears a can open in the kitchen.

I used a can of wild Alaskan sockeye salmon in a batch of scrambled eggs with onion and parmesan cheese for my morning meal.

The salmon was the perfect way to kick boring scrambled eggs up a notch. The extra protein also made this breakfast quite filling.

Along with my eggs, I also ate a banana that was on the verge of death.

Time to get to work!

    I love that salmon and eggs idea! I’m on a huge salmon kick these days but haven’t managed to incorporate it into breakfast… yet!

    I know you use salmon for a lot of your cooking. I made some last night and still have a huge portion of the filet left to cook but I honestly can’t bare to take it out of the fridge because I swear the smell permeated every pore of everything it touched. Including my hands. Do you have a sneaky technique to not get salmon smell on everything? or…get it off of everything. I’m not kidding I woke up in the middle of the night smelling it and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I was disturbed. lol

      a big thing that helps in our house is turning on the fan above the oven when we take the salmon out of the oven. the fan seems to suck up a lot of the fishy smell!

        LOL…I musta had a stank fish. I sliced it and prepared it outside and put it on the grill. I lemoned my hands and even washed them in toothpaste! I might just be extra sensitive to the smell right now too… It was salmony up in here tho.
        Thanks for the tips!

          It also helps to make sure your tupperware is totally airtight! I use glass tupperware when I’m storing salmon because it gets a seal than plastic tupperware does.

      hey pb fingers,
      do you have a litttle snack before you work out in the morning? i always wake up so hungry in the morning at 6 when i go to run. what would you recommend for a power snack that won’t unsettle my stomach before running in the morning and before i eat breakfast?
      Thanks!

    There’s even a wait list for Gone Girl at my itty bitty tiny library here. Can’t wait to be #1. And I love the canned salmon in this. I always see it at Costco but don’t know what to do with it. Now I do.

    I regularly blog at my book review blog Coffee and a Book Chick and got a chance to read Gone Girl a couple of months before the release date and I was blown away. If you haven’t read Gillian Flynn’s other books, particularly her debut Sharp Objects, definitely pick them up! Dark and twisted, all around!

    I love Sadie’s eyes and her expression! My dog has a similar alert and sweet look and my heart just melts! 🙂

    I just started reading Gone Girl last night and LOVE IT! Honestly a big problem I have with books is that, the intro of learning all the people and the places gets SO BORING and I usually stop reading if a writer isn’t great at keeping me lured in. But so far they are doing a great job at telling the beginning story and looping in the current. I love that, keeps me on my toes!

    I downloaded the free sample of Gone Girl on my Nook and just the couple chapters I read was very good. Only problem, it is almost $14.00 and I hate spending that much on a book. I am gonna see how long the wait list is at my local library!!

    My dog does the same thing whenever he hears our refridgerator drawers open. Which is weird, considering there’s nothing ever in there for him!

    I couldn’t believe how long the library wait time for Gone Girl was, so I ended up buying it from Amazon, too. I’m saving it for my vacay read, and am having a hard time staying away from it until then. I can’t recall ever being this excited to read a novel before.

    I’m still enjoying the 10 to 6 workout you posted a few weeks ago! I’m bookmarking the August sizzler for my next workout challenge.

    I love salmon but I find that canned salmon tends to have too much of a fishy taste to me (the same problem I have with canned tuna). Do you have a brand that is less fishy, or does the canned taste just not bother you?
