Easy Coconut Seared Codfish with Roasted Potatoes and Kale Salad
Coconut Seared Codfish with Roasted Potatoes and Kale Salad: I am surrounded by people who must eat healthily, follow a strict diet, and most of all, enjoy delicious meals.
Creating meals with a Caribbean taste is my passion, and therefore I don’t mind cooking for friends, family, and loved ones and growing up in a family of hypertension sufferers. I have become accustomed to not eating a lot of sodium. It is so interesting that the more I learn about what to eat and what not to eat, I no longer feel deprived of salt.
Eating healthy should no longer be a challenge when there are so many options. The challenge is finding the ingredients you like to cook. Once you see these ingredients finding the correct pricing is another challenge. Prepare your meal plan shopping list, and then look for savings and coupons to avoid many challenges.
