Some New Recipes

Josh has been doing a cleanse diet/detox and he's almost through the 1st of 3 weeks. (He's reading and following the book Clean.) I've been loving every meal he's made this week! This Lemon Herb Halibut with toasted Almond & Cherry quinoa, on a bed of thinly chopped kale, and a homemade honey mustard dresssing has been my favorite so far:

A friend on Facebook asked for the recipe and this was my response:

The Halibut recipe comes from the book "Clean":
2 (5 oz) portions of halibut
1/4 cup pitted, halved kalamata olives
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lemon, sliced thinly in discs
1 zucchini, sliced thin diagonally
2 Tbsp EV olive oil
Sea Salt
Parchment paper
Heat over to 425 degrees, brush two sheets of parchment paper with oil, place one piece of halibut in middle of each sheet, season with salt and place 3 slices of lemon and zucchini on top, and a sprig of thyme. Sprinkle the olives over the top and drizzle with olive oil. Fold parchment paper over fish and crinkle it to seal it. Bake on tray 12-15 mins.

The quiona recipe is on the back of the bag.
Basically toast almonds until golden, then put toasted almonds, quinoa and chopped dried cherries in pot with water and sea salt and cook according to directions.

Honey mustard dressing:
1 cup olive oil
6 Tbsp lemon juice
3 cloves garlic pressed
4 tsp raw honey
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp mustard
Put ingredients in a mason jar, screw on lid, shake until blended.

Josh thinly sliced kale to make a bed of greens, then scooped some quiona on top, then pieces of halibut, then some dressing on top of that. :) It's SO good!

Here's a pic of Selah with the amazing cherries we were so, so blessed to have been spoiled with. We picked with our friends on their friend's farm. They've been a treasure here. We picked 40 lbs and dehydrated a bunch and froze the rest.

The kids and I made carrot muffins for breakfast this week. Of course the recipe is from Elana's Pantry.

And this last shot is what we made tonight for dinner - I picked a ton of blueberries today! Josh made us Baked Balsamic Chicken on a bed of mixed greens, with wild rice, avocado and blueberries, with a homemade honey mustard dressing. I'll try to post the recipe soon!
