• my name: Ali

• my blog: I write about balancing life, healthy living and entertaining friend and family at www.thehealthyhostess.com!
• my move: I love to run for exercise.  I was in the middle of training for the Columbus marathon when I found out we were going to have a baby!  I ended up running the half marathon at 4 months pregnant.  Hopefully next full I will be able to do the full – at least the half! :)  I attached a picture of us headed out the door on the day of the race.

• my meal: One of my favorite meals or foods is: salmon salads! I love salmon!  Here is the recipe for my pumpkin butter pom salmon:

POM Pumpkin Butter Salmon

• 1/3 c. POM arils, crushed with back of a spoon
• 3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 3 tbsp. pumpkin butter
• 1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
• salt and pepper

I coated the salmon and threw it in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 450.

The salad included:

• organic spring mix
• organic baby spinach
• 1/2 chopped pear
• 1/3 c. POM arils
• 1/4 c. crumbled feta
• a handful of toasted walnuts

So good!!
