Simple dinner built around Claire's many grained bread

Ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, fresh asparagus, pack of cards size serving of wild salmon, Claire’s many grained bread, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 4 cloves garlic pressed, tarragon, Trader Joe’s 21 Salute, sea salt, ground pepper.

Pour the cook a glass of wine.

Preparation: Claire bakes her no knead many grained bread; I can’t be more specific because she makes it differently each time, which is part of the adventure! Steam the asparagus while frying the salmon in extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with tarragon and fresh pressed garlic. Make dipping oil/vinegar mix adding Trader Joe’s 21 Salute and pepper. Arrange on an 8″ plate, sprinkle asparagus with sea salt and serve with wine. Dip the bread liberally in the olive oil/balsamic.

This is simple, quick and healthy nutritious. If you’re in a motorhome you probably don’t want to bake bread, but even Wal*Mart has some good artisan breads. Don’t be tempted by the white stuff!

If you haven’t noticed, these recipes are all very healthy. Don’t let that put you off. This kind of eating is much more satisfying than processed foods, white flour, sugar, bad fats, and the 8″ plate will soon seem plenty big; the pounds will melt away, the cholesterol numbers go down, and you’ll avoid type 2 diabetes. Enough preaching. Enjoy.
