Is Your Salmon Safe?

The fish industry, Salmon in particular, is facing an increase in parasites … worms … in this case – Sea Lice. Note that Sea Lice IS naturally present in Wild Caught Salmon, however it is thriving heavily in the Farm Raised environment, so much, that it is disruptive.

This could mean that the fish that ends up on your plate has the parasite (that you would then ingest) or toxic chemicals will be used to “control” the Sea Lice (that you would then ingest).

If you choose to eat fish as apart of your diet, be EXTREMELY CAREFUL and PICKY in your selection and source of fish as you don’t want parasites to choose you as their new home. As yucky or extreme as that may sound – it’s the truth guys – and if you must, we suggest you purchase Wild Caught over Farm Raised – as the fish comes from it’s natural environment.

Protect your temple and consider transitioning to a more plant-based diet.

Indoor BBQ? #NoProblem
Alright family, have you ever had a taste for something, but in the end you are missing one of the main ingredients?
Well, yesterday, it was me!!! I wanted to grill everything! I mean everything! I wanted grilled carrots, grilled asparagus, grilled mushrooms, grilled corn, grilled veggie dogs, and grilled salmon for the meat-eaters in my house. I told you… ALL GRILLED EVERYTHING! As soon as I left work, I hit the grocery store and BOOM, I had a cart filled with all the items that I wanted.
My mouth was watering as I seasoned everything to perfection. I got my husband to go out and clean the grill, load some fresh charcoal, and you know what? THERE WAS NO FLIPPIN CHARCOAL!!!!! Do you feel my frustration? (Now banging my head up against the wall)
I didn’t feel like going back to the store, because I’m a working Mom, and my spirit was tired. I had to make a way out of no way! OKAY!!!
So, I made an executive decision (lol)… Indoor BBQ!!!
How I did it, you may ask. Well, let me elaborate.
I made an olive oil, lemon, pepper, and smoky mesquite glaze (so it had a smoked flavor), poured it in the bottom of the pan, and put the carrots (halved) in it. I also poured a bit on top to keep them moist. I popped those bad boys in the oven, until they were almost soft. Then, I put a layer of asparagus, and if they were too fat, I slit them down the center. I topped them with garlic, salt, and olive oil. I let those cook until they were almost done, then… the final topping was added: tomatoes and baby bella mushrooms!! OMG!!! Best tasting veggies #EVER!!! The best part was that they tasted as if they were grilled!! Success.
The meat eaters were thoroughly impressed! The salmon was perfectly moist and flaky, with the smoked flavor…#Indoorbbq.. Yes we did that! The corn that I rubbed with the mesquite flavoring, olive oil, and Montreal steak seasoning…..#Bomb.com. This meal made mouths happy. This meal made every soul in my house sing.
My Indoor BBQ, was pretty freaking awesome!!!!!
Till next time…. May your taste buds be forever satisfied!!!
