SUPER DUPER YUMMY

I usually go to food TV, my extensive library of cook books (not lying I have a ton I belong to this cook book club and I get one a month, not to mention I have been a member for three years plus I always get cook books as gifts), Epicurious, or now I have a new website I go to WHOLE FOODS.

Now I know all you big city folk have Whole foods, so just humor me because I love this temple of divine food. Just to let you know I have been known to drive 2.5 hours with a big ass cooler to my Grocery of choice.

So my point: here is my latest recipe from the WHOLE FOODS web site. I made this last night with dinner. Billy and I had this salad, whole grain bread, asparagus, and chicken. If i was going to make this meal again, I would make this salad, a firm white fish such as halibut, sourdough bread and another side such as basmati rice (or something light like that and you could ad some color to the rice by putting tomatoes or pimentos or green onion i recommend color green or red it just makes the plate look that much better....and you do eat with your eyes first).......It makes for an awesome spring dinner.
