Mango salsa grilled trout & shrimp

This was a hit! My belly is so happy right now. Roger and I were shopping at HEB yesterday and saw fresh trout and had to buy some. Roger immediately thought - mango salsa! And then the idea for dinner tonight was in full force.

Roger takes credit for dinner tonight.. It's fun to share food as a passion and enjoy cooking and eating clean meals together. He was the inspiration behind the mango trout.

Ingredients:

Mango salsa:
1 large mango
1/4 cup white onion
1/2 jalapeño (seeded)
1 clove of garlic
Handful of cilantro
1 tsp fresh ginger
Lime juice
Salt & pepper to taste

He chopped all the ingredients and put in the fridge to let the flavors meld together. He really is the chop master, so I usually let him take over on chop! I don't want to loose a finger.. Haha

We had about 10 shrimp left so we decided to cook that too. He seasoned the fish and shrimp with garlic salt, fiesta lime (Mrs. Dash seasoning). He also put some lime juice on the fish to cover any fish-y flavor. We like very basic seasoning to enjoy the natural flavors of the fresh seafood. He grilled the shrimp and fish in a large grill pan on the stove and taaa- daaaa!!

It was delicious, fresh, flavorful and a new favorite.

We also cooked up a sweet potato, but I only ate 3 tbsp since the paleo diet is only little starch.

Now it's time to watch the Bachelor in my food coma.

Enjoy!!! Xoxo

Stuffed Bellpeppers

This is one of my husband's favorite dinners.. So quick & easy!

Ingredients:
Chopped ground chicken
Onions
Bellpeppers (We like green)
Garlic
Mozzarella cheese (Rog loves cheese, so I got him some fresh cheese from HEB)

Preheat oven to 350.

Put bell peppers on a pan and cook for 20-25 min. I used a cupcake pan because mine kept tipping over. This ended up being a great solution.

Sauté onions, garlic, olive oil in a pan

Add ground chicken and seasoning (I used fiesta lime by Mrs. Dash seasoning)

After bell peppers are soft put chicken mixture inside half way and top with cheese. Put more chicken mixture and top with more cheese. I actually didn't use any cheese for mine and I topped with fresh salsa Roger made.

Broil for 5 minutes on top rack.

I topped mine with fresh cilantro and salsa

Enjoy!

Power bowl & Detox Water

I love making power bowls when I don't have any other recipes in mind. How a power bowl works - basically throw anything healthy in a bowl. The natural flavors blend together and I love the nutrition I get from it all.

This power bowl I made tonight had avocados, black beans (seasoned with paprika), and shrimp (seasoned with paprika, chili powder, southwest ancho sear & garlic salt) and cooked shrimp in olive oil.

I threw it all in a bowl and put roasted salsa verde on top. It definitely hit the spot!

And I made a giant batch of "Detox" water:

1 large cucumber
A handful of mint leaves
1 large lemon in slices
1/2 lemon juice

.. The longer it sits the better ;-)
