My first foray into poaching fish (Salmon with Yogurt Curry Sauce) was such a success I decided to branch out.
This poached halibut recipe is mild, lovely and features fennel, which is one of my favorite flavors. Halibut is a great fish to add to your diet. It is high in omega-3 fatty acids. However, since it is a large fish, its mercury levels can be high. It is recommended that pregnant women and nursing mothers limit their halibut consumption to once a month.
I'm pretty lucky in the fact that when it's "that time of the month," my symptoms are fairly mild. I feel a little crampy, bloated, and tired, but it doesn't interfere with my life too much. Sticking to my regular exercise routine usually relieves any discomfort I have, and it always lifts my mood. I do wear a more supportive sports bra, since bouncing around and soreness don't mix. That's just me though. I know some women are so uncomfortable when Aunt Ruby comes calling, slipping on spandex and sneakers is the last thing on their mind. So what about you . . .
One of my favorite things about the Fourth of July is firing up the grill. Not only is grilling a great way to cook a tasty meal, but it's also a fabulous way to trim down the fat. Use my tips to keep your barbecue healthy this holiday weekend.
To commemorate Independence Day, I couldn't help myself and I had to make a quiz on red, white and blue foods. Take the quiz to celebrate the Fourth of July!
