Herby Basa Fish and Pumpkin Salad

Herby Basa Fish and Pumpkin Salad

This is a good easy after-work dish that is part cooked and part salad. If you get the pumpkin and fish cooking while you make the salad you will be good to go in 5-10 minutes. I could eat this way every day. To make it vegan, leave out the fish. The veggies are great on their own. I totally love including the zucchini noodles when I feel like a kind-of bulkier texture.

Tuna and Anchovy Salad with Sprouts, Sauerkraut and Pistachios

Tuna and Anchovy Salad with Sprouts, Sauerkraut and Pistachios

it is hard to find the time to cook sometimes so it's important to have some arsenal ready to go. This recipe is particularly good for a week day lunch, or dinner if you prefer to prep only and not actually cook.   It works as a Lean Day recipe--but strictly speaking modify it only by not adding the pistachios, or the cacao nibs in the smoothie.   The anchovies are best used sparingly and mixed in well so the salty flavour is blended--and they are optional of course. They do provide an extra source of calcium, protein, essential fatty...
