Recipes

Pistachio Lemon Rainbow Trout on plate

Pistachio Lemon Rainbow TroutTrouts are an excellent source of protein and omega 3s, and usually much cheaper than their other fish counterparts. When choosing trout, look for shiny scales, and meat that is firm to the touch. Pan-frying this fish makes for easy bone and skin removal (but some of us enjoy the crunchy skin). It's nicely paired with a bright and zesty sauce that does not have added oils or butters, as it's rather rich on its own. This takes around 15 minutes to throw together, so it's great for busier days.

 

Orange Chicken on rice with broccoli on plate

Instant Pot Orange ChickenA delicious, tasty meal. Very easy and fast. I made brown rice in the pot earlier in the day to go with it. I halved the meat, but made the same amount of sauce. Next time I will use the amount of meat specified in the recipe to get more leftovers.
