Maple Salmon Glaze

Maple Glazed Salmon

I've been trying to live a more healthy lifestyle. Be more active, eat more veggies, eat less fast food, etc. It's been easy making sure my 7 month old only eats whole foods. Doing that myself has been difficult. Soon he will be old enough to chose what he eats and I need to set a good example. I'm hoping that posting on here will keep me motivated.

Last night's dinner was delicious and healthy! I made a maple glazed salmon served with brown rice, asparagus, and zucchini and summer squash.
