Foil Baked Halibut

If you are like me, you may not be the biggest fan of fish. I want to love it, I really do. I keep trying! And then I keep not liking it as I had hoped for. Well, this recipe changed my mind! I think it could for you too!

I have been wanting to incorporate more wild caught fish into our lives. You know, best way to get more of those healthy omega-3 fatty acids. And for some variety in our diet. I'll never get on Master Chef not knowing how to cook fish!  

My son has a fascination with seafood and requests it constantly. So, I decided to make a foil wrapped fish for a few reasons. 

1. I don't know how to cook fish! At all.
2. No mess! You stick everything in parchment and foil and literally no clean up!
3. No fishy smells in the house from cooking it.

What a delicious surprise this was! I loved it! My son ate all of his, part of mine and part of his dads! And, my husband loved it. This recipe is now on my monthly list! So easy to vary up as well!

If you make this, please let me know how you liked it in the comments!


Dinner for 2 (Or 3 if you have a little one too.)

  • 2 healthy servings of fresh wild caught Halibut (no skin)

Amazing Garlic Hummus

Honestly, why would you buy this when making it yourself takes about 5 minutes and tastes 100% better than ANY store bought brand? Really! 
Like I always say.... Make YOUR OWN!
Use this recipe as a guide and add or omit to YOUR taste. I LOVE THIS basic recipe! My 5 yr old LOVES this! YOU WILL LOVE THIS!

Ingredients:
  • 1-15 oz can organic Garbanzo beans
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/4 tsp Pink Himalayan salt 
  • Dash of paprika
  • 2 tbs or more lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 1/2 tbs olive oil 
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
Directions:
Place all ingredients into your food processor and blend until you have the consistency you desire. I like it around 4-5 minutes.
You can make this extra creamy by adding a tiny more tahini, lemon and or oil. I make it less garlicky by omitting garlic all together or using half the amount I gave in recipe above. It's ALL up to you! Roast a red bell pepper, add it! Roast the garlic instead of raw garlic! OMG SO GOOD roasted!! Add different spices like lemon pepper and some fresh chunky Feta Cheese with sun dried tomatoes on top. I'll have to post that recipe next! It's whatever you like. This is the simplest recipe. This is the base. Try this first then make it your own! 
Fresh is best! 

Once you have made the batch AND had your fresh share, place 2 TBS in individual containers and place in the fridge as servings to go! You are ready to go for snacks the entire week! All in 5 minutes!
Let me know how you like it!

Guacamole

Hello addiction! 
This is BY FAR, the best Guacamole you will have on this side of the border! 
SO DELISH! 
It's worth the minimal work. Better than ANY store bought guac you can find. And there are some great ones out there. But this.... This is something special! 
Fresh, Spicy, Tart, Salty. YUMMY! 
Buy Organic Ingredients when possible. It's worth your health! No more excuses. And here it is!



Ingredients:
  •  3 small ripe avocados diced 
  •   juice of 1.5 limes
  •  1 cup of cherry tomatoes diced in half and squeezed of excess liquid 
  •   ¼ cup red onion diced 
  •   handful of cilantro diced 
  •   pink Himalayan salt to taste
  •   Garlic Salt to taste
  •   Pepper to taste 
  •   1 garlic clove minced 
  •   1 jalapeño or serrano pepper diced with seeds removed 




I like to use my food processor and chop the tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic and red onion. Be careful not to OVER chop it. You're not looking for mush. Keep it chunky. Once diced and mixed, add the avocado to food processor or add avocado and chopped ingredients from food processor into a bowl and mash with a fork, adding lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. 



THE BEST GUAC EVER!
AM I RIGHT?
