Lime Cumin Halibut

I have a lime tree & avocado tree that are each dropping ripe fruit faster than we can eat it, so I decided to make guacamole to go along with fish in a lime marinade.  I have only used the marinade for steak, but discovered tonight that it is also good with halibut.  I served the fish with brown rice, guacamole, & salsa.  The guacamole & salsa were not B+ blood type diet friendly, but they were homemade & delicious!

I’ve been MIA for a while…having a baby can do that to you.  The little guy is asleep at the moment, which means I too should be resting.  Instead I’m updating my sadly neglected little blog.  Now that I am sort of emerging from my post-partum haze, healthy cooking & workouts feel possible.  The first few weeks after the baby was born I grabbed whatever was around to eat quickly before feeding him (granola bars,

Roasted Turkey Vegetable Noodle Soup

When I am sick, no food is more appealing to me than hot, homemade soup.  Tonight I made a large batch of roasted turkey soup with noodles & vegetables.  I used the vegetables I had, but like most soups, you can use what you prefer or what you have on hand rather than run out to the store for missing ingredients.  If made without the noodles, this soup will freeze well (the noodles will be mushy if frozen then defrosted).  For the turkey, I used this recipe which I previously posted.

Savory Egg & Millet Bake

The other night I made flank steak with a side of millet.  As usual, I made too much millet & had to figure out what to do with the leftovers.  As an experiment, I came up with this tasty egg dish.  I ate it throughout the week with salad for lunch, but it could be a meal anytime of the day.  The ingredients I used were what was already in my fridge; it would be very easy to make other variations based on what you have available.

GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD....NASTY!

I don't know about you, but the last thing I want to eat is genetically modified food.  California Proposition 37 is a ballot initiative for the November election that would require labeling of food made with genetically modified ingredients.  If this passes in CA, GMO labeling may be seen nationwide.  If you have time, please take a look at the petition & sign it.  The public list of financial backing for & against the initiative is very interesting.  

Thank you for leaving a comment, if you choose to.  I read each one, & genuinely appreciate your feedback!
