Food 4 Thought
Eat with health and wellness in mind. Yes, we can enjoy the foods that we eat, but in proper measure and not at the expense of our bodies. As Maimonides, the famous rabbi, philosopher and doctor of 12th century Spain writes, “Bodily health and wellbeing are part of the path to God, for it is impossible to understand or have any knowledge of the Creator when one is sick. Therefore one must avoid anything that may harm the body and one must cultivate healthful habits.” When we choose to eat healthy we are making a statement that our eating is not an end in and of itself, but rather a means to help us to become our best selves and live our greatest lives.

This is a great fish alternative to salmon. It has a milder taste and is less fishy. I serve this with angel hair pasta, rice or roasted potatoes and broccoli.
