“Easy Winter Fixins”
This week I opted for recipes that are light and easy to make. After the sudden onset of holiday foods and treats, as well as a busy schedule, I needed some balance. I have two fish dishes this week, which is sort of unusual for my plans. Fish is easy to cook and can be very inexpensive if you buy frozen wild-caught fish. Even though I live right by the ocean, local fresh fish can be expensive. I prefer fresh fish if I can afford it, though. We’re using lots of fresh winter vegetables, and I’m introducing Kefir this week, too. Kefir is a cultured good-for-you yeast that begins with kefir grains. You will probably have to mail-order kefir grains unless you know someone else who makes it (I’ll give you a source!). Once you have it, though, you can continue making it and giving extra cultures to your friends! Kefir is excellent for smoothies and, much like other cultured foods, are excellent for your health, aiding in digestion, immunity, metabolism, and much more!
