I love the idea of thinking about eating well as another form of retirement planning. So smart. I’m definitely going to try that chicken recipe — looks great!

I will be interested in your recipe finds… most of my go to recipes are not super healthy and I am trying to change that. Yes… as the saying goes ‘when I eat like c**p I feel like c**p’. Thanks for sharing

i actually like trout and red snapper. i just can’t get past the super-fishy smell of salmon. i want to though because it’s served *everywhere* and would be a great meal to order out.

Sorry you hate salmon. I grew up with a lot of fish in Colorado. Especially red snapper, trout and salmon. If you like Tilapia, it would be great baked or grilled with the chipotle sauce you made. Throw it in a corn tortilla and add cabbage (purple). It is like Baja tacos.

Wow these look fantastic! The Greek one is very different than what I typically make so it’ll be a nice change. Thanks for sharing!

Btw I hate salmon. I wish I didn’t but I don’t like the taste. Did you naturally like salmon or did you have to get used to it?

Well done you. I have too found that so many of my cures can be found in the foods we eat. While I don’t always eat what is best for me, I try. And believe me as I get older the crappy food, let’s me know I am not on the right track.
I love this recipe for a nice filling lunch:

This one is great too.

With the wrap, I try to use a spinach or whole wheat wrap. I also just use a homemade vinegrette for marinading the chicken.
I loveeee Salmon:

Oh, and side note….you know we love our Steel cut oats…well I also love Cream of Wheat. It is packed with Iron!
I am going to try the cannelli bean recipe you mentioned! I too take 3 fish oils a day in addition to Vitamin D.

Sounds great to me!

Here’s a quinoa salad recipe that I really like — corn, avocado, tomatoes, and lime. Yum!
