This also is a great recipe for fish. Very simple yet very tasty!
For the halibut steaks:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 halibut steaks , each about 1 1/4 inches thick and 10 to 12 inches long (about 2 1/2 pounds total), gently rinsed, dried well with paper towels, and trimmed of cartilage at both ends
table salt and ground black pepper
1.

I recently found this recipe in a free publication from my local co-op. I gave it a whirl this weekend. Aside from being wicked easy and healthy, it was very yummy. If you don't want to deal with the mess of roasting your own pumpkin seeds (but that's the fun part!) you can usually find roasted pumpkin seeds--also called pepitas--in the bulk section of your grocery. Happy munching!
PUMPKIN SEED TREATS
1 1/2 cups roasted pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup dried cranberries
4 Tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon orange or vanilla extract
1. Combine the pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries in one bowl.

The other night I roasted a bunch of vegetables to have with steak. Of course I always make enough for ten people and there is only my husband and I. I had a lot left over and I didn't want to waste it so I decided to make soup.

A couple weeks ago I went to lunch at a deli down the street from my work and had the most delicious Tomato Gorgonzola soup. I decided to try and make it myself. I scoured the internet for a recipe and ended up mixing several together to make this one.

1. Worst fast-food chicken meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories
55 grams (g) fat (4.5 g trans fat)
48 g carbohydrates
The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.

I found this great idea for dinner last night: scallops with mashed cauliflower and roasted asparagus. So yum, and the recipe says it's only 300 calories per serving! Here's where I got it:
