Welcome to Recent Eats, the “how much is too much…SALMON (and tuna)!” edition. I love salmon. We have it at least once a week for dinner and I usually cook enough so that I have leftovers to use as a salad topper. I also default to a can of salmon or tuna as a salad topper if [...]

New, Different, Challening
April 12, 2012 { 25 comments }I appreciate the encouraging words about my kipping pullups from yesterday’s video.
