Monday morning is yet again upon us and if you are like most, we have to hit the ground running. Because I try to eat whole foods at all times, I prefer to do all my cooking for the week on Sundays. A dinner entree like my Simple Pan Seared Salmon on Sunday then becomes…

Wild Shrimp & Improper Pasta - this is a 15 minute meal your mate will absolutely love.
