First Reeese’s mixes together chocolate and peanut butter. Now Dr Fitness has a recipe that mixes together shrimp and watermelon. This meal is perfect for for summer. Saute up some shrimp in olive oil and then throw in some bok choy, thyme and grape tomatoes. When you get ready to serve this dish squeeze some lime juice over the shrimp and veggies then place some sliced watermelon planks over the whole thing then serve over brown rice.
Teriyaki sauce is a great marinade for salmon. Brush some teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon then let it sit in the sauce for at least 15 minutes then grill as usual. Keep the skin on the salmon when you grill to keep the fish more tender and to prevent it from drying out. A great side with this salmon is cucumber salad. Slice up some cucumbers and marinate them with a nice balasamic vinegar dressing.

Since the weather in Atlanta has been steamy both Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy ventured outside towards the water and had some interesting adventures. Dr Fitness went to Lake Lanier and tried paddle boarding – which is standing on a large surfboard and moving yourself with a long paddle. He only fell once and narrowly missed being run over by a speeding boat. The Fat Guy broke out his inflatable canoe for a 3 hour trip down the Chattahoochee River with his son. His lack of boating skills were showcased in front of dozens of college aged kids partying their way down the river. The Fat Guy could impressively make his canoe spin in circles and float backwards down the river. And to cap off his trip the place he exits the river was blocked by a 4 foot snake.
