Quick & easy salmon!

So it's been a few weeks since I posted but things have been crazy! Jacob started his MBA online @ Auburn so every night is a rush to get dinner on the table so he can start studying. 

Tonight I made a pretty delish & super easy! 

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. Lay down foil. 

3. Put salmon filet on foil. 

4. Drizzle salmon with EVOO. (A little goes a long way!)

5. Sprinkle seasoning on salmon. I used a homemade rub but you could use a Cajun seasoning (i.e. Tony's) or some Mrs. Dash!

6. Slice lemon & lay flat on salmon. 

7. Sprinkle some fresh cracked black pepper on top. 

8. Fold up foil & put on cookie sheet. 

9. Bake for 20 minutes!

10. Enjoy your super fancy feeling dinner! 

I paired ours with some fresh steamed green beans and voila - delish, healthy meal! I've been loving experimenting with all these new recipes so I'll try to post pictures & such of my cooking adventures!

Wedding, Christmas & Passion...oh my!

Wow what a whirlwind month it has been! We left Covington early on the 17th and didn't get back to Louisiana until late the 1st of 2015! Then made a quick trip to Atlanta for Passion (most incredible experience ever BTW) and then back that Sunday...and work on Monday!

It was a month of much needed relaxation, time with Jacob and family & then spiritual revival at Passion. 

So glad to be home and getting back into a routine though...we missed our home here and definitely our church family! Looking forward to an incredible 2015...here's to living undaunted!

So many incredible speeches and music!

Words cannot express how our hearts were changed at Passion but I'm so grateful for the incredible college group we went with and I'll never forget my experience there. I'm so glad I was able to share it with Jacob because I don't think I'd ever be able to explain these moments to him!

2015 is off to an incredible start, I can't wait to see what God has in store for us!
