Yesterday I read a review from a mom on Amazon about my First Bites cookbook being "too healthy" and let it get me down. I mean I am happy that her complaint was that the food was too healthy (she even admits that the recipes are not hard to make), but it bugged the heck out of me that she gave it two stars and messed up my ratings based upon the fact that it was healthy, which is what I wanted the book to be by the way. I just didn't/don't understand who would take the time to write that when it doesn't help anyone involved, especially because most of my cookbook purchases are bought by moms who in fact want to cook healthy food for their kiddos! Needless to say, I am waking up with a clear head this morning and that woman's review has only added fuel to my fire to keep doing what I am doing. She actually just re-confirmed that what I am doing is helping people. There is an unhealthy food epidemic in our country so if I can add a little healthy back into the mix then I am going to do it! My healthy blackened salmon cobb salad is just the kind of salad that is full of healthy ingredients, but tastes amazing too!
Happy Monday guys and gals. It's week two of the new year and I know most of you have committed to eating healthier, or lighter, or are doing Whole 30, or Weight Watchers or something to that effect. And I also know that it can be intimidating and you run out of ideas and the thoughts of weeknight healthy meals can be daunting so I am here to help you. After the holidays I can tell you that me and my family were more than ready to get back into our routine in more than one ways, but mostly in our diet! Give me all of the healthy foods please and give them to me now! Who is with me? My quick and easy Asian Salmon Packets are going to be your new favorite weeknight meal that your whole family will approve of!
I could eat Mexican food every day of the week...I kid you not. But I obviously can't do that because the result would be me not fitting into my jeans and nobody wants that, especially me. And although cooking Mexican at home is never the same, but it can be done and it can be delicious (and healthy). It's a great way to get your fix without the high calorie margarita (which is kind of a requirement if you are at a restaurant) and without two baskets of chips being inhaled before your entrée arrives. My healthy chipotle turkey and spiced potato tacos get you all that flavor without the I had too much sodium, swollen fingers the next morning.
Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
This meal is perfect for any weeknight because it can be ready in thirty minutes and is a relatively inexpensive meal too. I doubt any family members will turn their nose up at taco night, and the leftovers are quite possibly better the next day.
