Let me tell you; this 'no dairy for three weeks thing' is already getting on my nerves.
Planning a menu for an entire week...without cheese? Harder than I thought.
Matt lucks out, though...he gets to try out some recipes I'd book-marked just for him.
One was Ina Garten's Grilled Salmon Salad.
Salmon filets are grilled, then cooled completely and flaked. Mix with finely diced celery, red onion, capers, dill, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, and a little salt and pepper.
Despite a fruit-flavored vinegar...he's generally not fond of 'sweet' in his food...Matt really liked this. And this salad would make an excellent sandwich.
Obviously, Alex and I couldn't share Matt's salmon. Instead, we had something dairy-free: lots and lots of sushi! Vegetarian potstickers and spring rolls, as well as some faux shrimp, made it a pretty big meal.
Alex scarfed down a couple rolls' worth of cucumber and avocado...that's my boy!
And give him a bowl of edamame, and he's a happy boy.

- Cold Salmon Noodle Salad
Following Matt's health scare a couple of weeks ago (it's ok; he's fine), there's been more of a focus on eating 'well'. For him, that's meant lots of salmon. In lots of ways. Tonight, salmon & noodles. Modified from this...
