Happy Friday. We made it. Now don’t get me wrong, I still have plenty of work to get caught up on this weekend, but it’s the weekend, so I can half ass it, right?
I did manage to get caught up on my TO DO list, so i will announce the healthy bite winner Monday. Sound good? Don’t forget to check out the giveaway. A MUST DO on that TO DO! haha.
Anyway, it’s Fitness Friday, Foodie Friday, and Foto Friday all rolled up into one big Flavor Ball. This Friday is all about Mojo. Not really sure what Mojo really means, but to me it means spice. It means sass. It means magic! So here’s a little bit of my MOJO flavor to end the week.
Sweet and Spicy Mojo Salmon with brown rice and papaya salad.
This is quite easy to make. Take a spicy marinade, like a Jamaican jerk or Southwestern flavor, add it to a pan with a little white wine, garlic, lemon, water, and basil. Place the salmon fillets in pan and coat with sauces. Then cover and steam on medium high for 10-15 minutes. I add the basil last 5 minutes. For the papaya salad, use romaine lettuce, grapeseed oil, balsamic vinegar, goat cheese, chopped zucchini, and pine nuts (optional).
This dish goes great with a light red. I used a classic table wine from this vineyard. Definitely a good buy!
Oh and don’t forget the great view! It completes the MOJO dinner.
Next up are my MOJO Healthy Bites flavor. Yes, these were MAGICAL!! Can you guess the flavor?
It’s Muddy Buddy Mocha and it just so happens to be Vegan and Gluten Free. Magic in the making people!
And last but not least, my MOJO playlist. It had been way too long since I made a playlist for teaching classes. Here’s the one I used for my cycle/yoga class. It’s sassy, yes?
Alright, that’s enough flavor talk. Enjoy your weekend! I’m off to celebrate Wine Friday.
What’s your Mojo like this week?
Cheers!

I’m not sure I’ve had any wines from that vineyard actually. It’s always good to hear reviews or likes/dislikes from friends. My mojo was a 9 mile run before work. I think that’s all I got left. May have to lounge in the pool the rest of the weekend

tasty indeed. Now, i must restrain myself. haha
ohhh that salmon looks yummy! and you make it sound so easy
I like the mojo this week- those healthy bites have my name all over them! So does the wine…except I was so tired last night I had to choose between the grocery store and the LCBO. And food trumped wine. haha I’m currently gathering mojo with coffee for this 5hr ride (probably all in the rain…)!

another reason to move to austin… just sayin.. no rain.
Love the salmon meal – I am loving it right now and want it every day! I need to find some wild on sale and stock up so I have it whenever! It’s too expensive if I buy it wild AND fresh every day!
Laura @ LauraLivesLife recently posted..Five Things Friday – The “Want” List
i know, i wish it was cheap, but then again it wouldn’t be as tasty. right? haha. hows life friend? Coming to austin soon? xxoo
My mojo weekend is in DC having fun with Sara! Oh and I had a mojo bar, does that count?!
Love you!

Oooh, I think I’ll try out that salmon as well as the papaya salad!! Ever since my naturopathic doctor told me I really needed to eat fish, I’ve been on the lookout for yummy fish dishes. This on will be enjoyed for sure : )
We are off for vacation on Monday so my mojo is relaxing!!
Have a great weekend Lindsay!

Sounds awesome and makes me happy!! I want to hear about thus circuit.
Lovely eats as always!! Cycle/Yoga–this is a first for me, but I can see what a winning combo that would be–loosen up tight legs after being in a hunch position.
Mmmmm. Muddy buddies!!
