Everything from the smell (although fresh fish doesn't have much of a smell) to the texture and taste bothers me. I'm also suddenly allergic to shellfish and salmon. Salmon I'm not too sad about but I used to have scallops all the time - my mouth is watering just thinking about them but I'm allergic to them now! Ack!<br /><br />I do like some veggies - peppers and onions with garlic or green beans sautéed with garlic are staples. I make broccoli for the kids and hubs. They love it. Me? I won't touch the stuff. <br /><br />I can't take the texture of cauliflower. I've tried substituting cauliflower for potatoes - can't do it. It's a texture thing. <br /><br />I'm a PITA! HAHA!!!! <br /><br />Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727272870924020032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019006232019115702.post-78741128013759745172013-01-24T01:40:32.399-08:002013-01-24T01:40:32.399-08:00Well done on the weight loss!

In the morning I take the fish out of the freezer overnight so that it has defrosted by the morning. I then marinate it - something simple like lemon, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or instead of garlic powder some other spice like cumin or red chili flakes. My latest favorite is baking the fish with regular or sun dried tomatoes because the flavor is delicious! Then when I get home in the evening I turn the oven on and put the fish to bake (usually takes less than 30 minutes). While it's baking I tidy up/change/wash up etc. and then dinner's ready!<br /><br />I have no idea what to suggest for vegetables. What I would suggest is finding 3-4 that you can tolerate (sweet potatoes are a favorite of mine) and just put them to bake/roast or steam while the fish is cooking. <br /><br />This is pretty much what I do on a daily basis. It's not terribly exciting, but it's easy & healthy :) PlumPetalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879841900594034234noreply@blogger.com
