Work getting busier, not enough time in the day! Weather been so freaking cold, but still continue with my creation of foods

The week started with Monday off and the weather was beautiful. I had a lot of chores and errands to run and I went to a Crossfit class. Since it was so nice out, Coach John P changed up the warmup - of doing 800m, then GHD, pushups, pullups, 3 times and then another 800m. So I am counting that I did 1 m. Good class after that!

The rest of the week was brutally cold for down here in North Carolina. Work has been so busy that it was hard to get to some of my other exercise classes.  But I did manage to get my training in and get to my Thurs.
NO BO run. The group is doing wonderful, getting stronger, improving every time. I am glad Pam was there. Too bad Crystal was sick. Sat, was the 2nd group run and we had a few more people joining us, cold as heck, but we did 1.93 miles according to Mary but hey I will say 2m. Michelle, marvel at the fact she did it because in the beginning all she ever done was 1m, look at her now. Sat boot camp was hard as heck - Jackie made us do suicides runs - mucho squats, planks, pushups - lot of HIIT training! Yes!

I'm still doing my cooking on Sunday. That is my time to zone out and create recipes that are never the same. I love cooking, I love my passion. I am still creating recipes no oil, no salt, no sugar. So this week's line up I made:

Baked salmon - seasoned the fish with a mixture of fresh basil, fresh tarragon, parsley, thyme, ginger, garlic, white pepper, marsala, lime zest, lime juice. Bake in over 400 degrees until done.  I topped it off with a cashew sauce(recipe later) and sprinkle roasted sesame seeds.

Roasted broccoli  - I used broccoli florets. I seasoned it with chopped onions, chopped garlic, minced ginger, diced apples, nutritional yeast, you can use parmesan cheese as well and chicken broth, I put it on a baking dish with parchment paper and let it bake until it is done. I sprinkle with no salt, no sugar seasoning.

Baby Bok Choy - sliced in half, and steam in rice cook with chicken broth, ginger and garlic - I used some of the cashew sauce too.

Purple Sweet Potatoes - instead of orange, they are purple. wrapped in aluminun foil and bake. Cut up and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Cashew Sauce - Sauce is pretty rich but I think I did a good job without adding any oil, sugar or salt - I got some organic light coconut milk and some unsweetened cashew butter. I just heat the coconut milk and add the butter, voila.

Toasted Sesame seeds - same concept as toasted pine nuts. By browning, it releases the oils and aroma and just brings out a different taste.

This is what the finished product looks like:
