Honey Lime Mango Pico de Gallo Salmon

Dinner Time is Quality Time

Some of my favorite nights are ones that I have dinner ready when Dave, my boyfriend get’s home and we sit at the dinner table chatting about our day. To me that time is priceless and I cherish it so much. We don’t have a family yet, but growing up that was the favorite part of my day when neither my brother or I had an after school activity and dinner would be spent with the family eating and talking about things. When we do have a family I know that will be a tradition and a habit we will do regularly. There is so much value in that. Sitting down and being with the people you love the most in the world and talking about your day either at work, school, or what happened in the world that day.

The busier we get the less we take the time to enjoy the simple things life has to offer us. This is one of those things. You don’t have to be a gourmet chef or make an elaborate meal, but making a home cooked meal and sharing those delights with the close ones in your life that is the ultimate nurturing feeling.

This recipe is simple to prepare and really really good for you and really really good tasting! So take the hour out of your day and prepare this meal in 20-25 minutes and sit and enjoy it with your family. It will be the best thing you did all day!
