The weather has been a little warm here in Texas this week and I have been craving fresh salads with lots of fresh ingredients including anything and everything citrus! I made a lunch based on these cravings yesterday that will be on a weekly rotation in my house from here on out. It was one of those salads that was a happy accident that came from using ingredients I had in the fridge! I literally couldn’t stop saying “mmm” to myself while I was eating it (you know what I am talking about) and knew I had to share it with you all as soon as possible! My chili grapefruit salmon salad is not only super healthy, but is also full of fresh flavors that truly make the perfect lunch or light dinner any night of the week!
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!
