Mustard Crusted Salmon with Roasted Red Potatoes & Tomatoes

Mustard Crusted Salmon with Roasted Red Potatoes & Tomatoes | Little Kitchen, Big Bites

I don’t usually do fancy food.  It’s not really my thing.  I like things that are easy, hearty and full of flavor.  And occasionally they look nice too.  For some reason, the inspiration for this recipe popped up on Pinterest and I felt the need to try it for a random weekday dinner.  Maybe it’s because it was on the Williams Sonoma site and really they can do no wrong in my eyes.  Or maybe it was just because I do not expect a lot of fancy dinners in the future as my belly continues to grow.  But it was totally awesomely delicious and, regardless of why, I’m so very happy that I made it.

Not only was this pretty enough to serve at a dinner party, but it was also super easy and bursting with flavor.  The salmon stays moist and flavorful, with a little crunch on top, and the roasted veggies are just to die for.  You could easily make them as an accompaniment to any dish {and I plan to}.  Hubby and I each devoured our portions and declared that this is one to definitely put in the “keep” pile.  Next time I have people over, I am absolutely without a doubt making this again.

Insta-love {life update}

I love me a little instagram {follow me at rachelh0123} and I figure that the occasional life update around here could be fun, especially in light of all of big impending changes with baby girl expected in 3 weeks {!!! how did that happen??}.

And I’m really a picture addict and the unofficial photog for all of my friends, so I figure what better way to update about my life than in photos?

I was feeling pretty awful when I threw this together for Hubby.  Being super pregnant and having a stomach bug are not a good combination.  Suffice to say, I was eating soda crackers and sipping water instead enjoying these.  And these were the easiest thing to throw together ever because I … [Continue reading]

If you're looking back and trying to see the last time I did a beef recipe, it's been quite a while.  We're mostly a chicken/fish/vegetarian household.  I think that I could do the whole pescatarian thing if I wanted to, but Hubs would die without chicken. But then with the entrance of a … [Continue reading]
