Exceptionally busy week at work, eye surgery, recovery, exercise and more food recipes

It has been an awfully busy short week to try to get most things tested and into Production before I left for my eye surgery. I took 3 days off and this time I was super tired, probably from lack of sleep and rest that those 3 days felt nice.

In as much as my trainer is having a difficult time, she did try to schedule training time with me. My butt or hamstring is really tight and sore, just try to bend over to do forward bend hurts. I believe it is an old injury resurfacing. So I can't do the hamstring curls of any kind. This, is troubling me because it inhibits me from doing certain exercises. Blah!

This weekend, I got to volunteer at the YMCA, the Rambling Rose TRI was going on and I had some friends I wanted to cheer for. Gee, I never knew how much of an effect I have on people but they literally stop to give me a hug and say "Sue, you are the best, I love you" Wow!

I will keep this a short blog. And yes, I did some cooking over the weekend. Like all my dishes, I let my trainer have a taste.

This week I made :


 Pecan coconut crusted red snapper finished with Avocado sauce

The red snapper, I soak with a little almond milk, egg, some salt and pepper to soften it up.
The pecan coconut crush is a mixture of chopped pecans and shredded coconut and half a slice of gluten free bread. Use that as the breading.  Likely free with a little olive oil in a cast iron pan

Avocado sauce - tasted almost like guacamole but creamier. Mashed avocados, garlic cloves minced, green onions chopped, chopped tomatoes, chopped jalapeno peppers, lime and lemon juices. I used this to top off the fish because the fish entree is quite rich and this will soften it a little

Over roasted asparagus - Toss avocado oil, salt, pepper, coconut aminos, and bake in over

Quinoa/kale pilaf - easy recipe of cooked quinoa, add cooked kale already sautee on the side, add garlic, salt and pepper to taste
