An Easy Healthy Recipe:
Just What the Busy Cook Ordered

At the end of a long day, just give me an easy healthy recipe

Sometimes (OK, most of the time) I don't have the time or inclination to worry with a complex recipe that has lots of ingredients and several processes.

And since eating out all the time is not really an option (hey, restaurant food is hardly ever as good as what I make at home anyway), I like to fix something simple.

Here is an easy healthy recipe that only takes about 20 minutes, assuming you have some leftover brown rice or quinoa on hand.

Fish and Vegetables

I use an iron skillet with a lid for this recipe.

2 wild-caught fish fillets (I like Cod or Alaskan Salmon)
1 medium onion
2 - 3 ounces fresh mushrooms, washed
1 small bunch fresh cilantro
orange slices (optional)
2 - 4 ounces white wine
1 Tablespoon of coconut oil (preferred) or olive oil
leftover rice or quinoa, or make some fresh pasta

Start boiling water if you're making pasta. If you're using leftover rice instead, put it on to warm.

Heat oil in skillet (medium-high)

Cut the onion in half length-wise, then cut very thin slices from each half. Slice the mushrooms.

Add them both to skillet.

Chop cilantro and set aside.

Check onions and mushrooms; they should be starting to go "transparent." Push them to the side of the pan.

Carefully add the fish fillets in, next to the veggies. Salt and pepper if desired.

Give them one minute and turn them over.

Spoon the onions and mushrooms over the fish.
Scatter the chopped cilantro over all.
Lay the orange slices on top.
Drizzle wine over everything and put the lid on.

When the fish is done (probably no more than 2 - 3 minutes, max. Don't overcook!), so is dinner.

Serve rice or pasta in a large flat bowl.
Using a spatula, pick up fish and veggies, and lay carefully on top. Arrange attractively.

Spoon remaining juices over rice or pasta, if desired.

M-m-mm good.

Most of the time, a large salad is the centerpiece of my meals, especially in the warmer months, when there is a load of fresh, organic produce available.

And it appears I'm not alone in my preference.

Here is an easy healthy recipe that has our Real Foods Chicken Salad as an ingredient. Of course, you can substitute your own chicken salad; tuna or salmon salad would be good, too.

Chicken Salad Salad

Ingredients:

3 large leaves organic Romaine lettuce
1 medium organic tomato
1 medium organic avocado
1 pinch of Celtic Sea Salt
3 ounces of Real Foods Chicken Salad (chicken breast, vegetables, walnuts, mayo, herbs, honey, and lemon juice)

Directions:

Hand tear lettuce into bite size pieces. Cut avocado into halves and then dice into bite size pieces. Dice tomato.

Hand toss these ingredients; put on plate.

Spoon the Chicken Salad on the top of the green salad; sprinkle with Celtic Salt, if desired. (Serves 1)
