Lemon Caper Cod
DINNER GLUTEN FREE SEAFOOD

Lemon Caper Cod

If you're "not a fish person", this recipe might be the thing that changes your mind. Cod is one of the leanest fish and is a wonderful choice for "fish beginners" because of its mild fish flavor. This flaky white fish is loaded with nutrients, including vitamin B12, which is an important part of your body’s nerve and blood cells. Moreover, cod, like many fish, is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids —an essential fat. This classic recipe is super-simple and super-flavorful due to its clean, flavor-forward ingredients. Cod is a delicious way to get your oh-so-important protein. This recipe pairs perfectly with a range of vegetables and sides: grilled asparagus, sautéed green beans, or a simple salad.

Seafood Stew
DINNER GLUTEN FREE SEAFOOD

Seafood Stew

This stew is really simple to make so it's great on a chilly weeknight but we also love serving this to guests since it gives "I-slaved-all-day-over-this vibes." Fennel is a delicious way to get fiber, which helps in digestion, but also aids in managing blood sugar and cholesterol, and can benefit cardiovascular health which is so important as we move into perimenopause and menopause. Lest we forget the seafood in this recipe! It’s full of omega-3’s for your brain, protein for your muscles, and B vitamins which help an array of processes in your body like repairing DNA, reducing inflammation and maintaining optimal brain and nervous system function (insert mic drop here).
