Being Filipina, I eat almost any fish. I am not quite selective with how it is prepared – with bones or without bones. The only thing that I don’t like about it when it is in a soup – but there are fish soup that I like so really, it comes down to taste. But living with my husband who’s an Aussie through and through and maybe a bit spoiled, he will only eat fish prepared without bones. He said that he wants his food hassle free – he doesn’t want to pick. I’m really the complete opposite as I want mine with a bit of bone that I can pick around or with crispy bones. But, each to his own.

As the type of fish, we mainly preferred snapper. It has a mild flavour. But in Easter this year, I decided to re-introduce salmon to my family. Mcj always said that it is an acquired taste as salmon has strong flavours. I like it myself but I can’t serve food that is not liked by everybody at home. This time though, it was a hit. I cooked it very simply, shallow fried – skin crispy. Of course, well seasoned. I have an assistant who does all that.

So now, salmon is one of the fish meals in our weekly menu. I hope we don’t get tired of it. I was told, one slice is more than enough as it is filling. Now, I’m on the hunt for appropriate side dishes (aside from researching for guitar acoustic at guitarcenter.com). I was told, peas are good with it. But what else? Any idea?

Onions are in the peak of their season.

This week we celebrate onions, a kitchen staple used in more recipes than any other ingredient. Onions add extra flavor to your dish and are also a source of many health-promoting nutrients, including their unique sulfur-containing compounds, which help lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels and reduce blood pressure. It's these sulfurous compounds that are responsible for onions' pungent smell and their eye-watering effects. So, the next time you cut onions, you can appreciate that the stronger their smell and the more your eyes tear, the more health benefits you will be gaining!

Nutritional Value
One cup of raw onions provides 21% of the daily value (DV) for chromium, 17% DV for vitamin C and 12% DV for dietary fiber and contains just 60 calories.

Green Peas are in the peak of their season.

This week we celebrate green peas, another of our favorite spring vegetables. Green peas are a great addition to your menu because in addition to their concentration of vitamins and minerals they also provide the carotenoid phytonutrients, lutein and zeaxanthin, which are known to promote vision and eye health. Not only are green peas highly nutritious, their wonderfully sweet flavor will appeal to everyone's taste buds, making them a favorite addition to your entire family's Healthiest Way of Eating.

Nutritional Value
A quick look at the nutritional profile of green peas will show you why we include them among the World.s Healthiest Foods. They are a rich source of the energizing B vitamins including B1, B2, B3, B6 and folate, which are essential for the proper metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. One cup of cooked green peas also provides 46% of the daily value (DV) for vitamin K, 38% DV for vitamin C and 36% DV for dietary fiber.

Life in a home with gluten-free diet, preventing Diabetes 2 and trying to be lactose-free. And a little bit fussy child. It sounds difficult and complicated but not really. It's been roughly ten years on - we have a lot of practice.
