So this morning I had a frozen peach, blueberry and almond milk smoothie. Can I just stop here for a moment and say that I recently discovered almond milk and almond butter and I am a huge fan now. Let’s put it this way, if you love almonds you will love these two, healthy additions to your grocery lineup.

For lunch I was in the mood for a big salad and came across Darlene’s Healthy Salad, a featured reader recipe in Cooking Light (congrats Darlene!) and decided to give her a try. This salad was simple and really good, plus it’s loaded with good-for-you-stuff including, avocado, red onion, cucumbers and radishes. I like how you assemble the whole salad, set it in the fridge and then drizzle the dressing over it to finish. Simple and delicious.

For dinner, I unofficially started my Fellow Foodie Blogger Recipe Tour today while still keeping with my health goals for the next few days. So while roaming my favorite blogs I came across this Redfish and Shrimp with Coconut and Lime Sauce recipe from the lovely, lovely blogger Lisa is Cooking from right here in Austin. I simply adore this blog. First of all, the photography is beautiful and Lisa’s dedication to cooking is admirable. I swear we need to get together so we can swap our favorite recipes since it seems like we share a similar addiction.

It’s quite cold – 75 degrees – here in Austin and this dish hit the spot perfectly for a snuggly, rainy night. I followed Lisa’s instructions exactly and the sauce was so simple and absolutely amazing. I honestly did scoop and eat the last of the creamy, spicy sauce with a spoon. Two notes, I used lite coconut milk to keep on my diet track and I couldn’t find redfish but used mahi mahi instead with the shrimp. This was just fabulous and delicious and fabulous.

Thanks Lisa for the great recipe and I always love reading your blog to see what you’ll do next. More of my favorite fellow foodie blogger recipes are to come.
