Fishy business

Josh and I have been trying to eat good the past 2 weeks. We have been eating mainly fish and veggies and fruit. For snacks we try to eat either fruit or whole grain snacky stuff. Its not been as bad as it sounds, mainly because i LOVE fish! Take me to a seafood buffet and you have one happy girl on your hands! Last week i lost 3.1 lbs and josh lost 5.4 lbs. Obviously we are doing something right. Weigh in days are on Saturday. We'll see how this week has been tomorrow! Tonight I wanted to do something a little different. So i went through my cookbooks and found a recipe for a Salmon Veggie bake. No it's not a casserole... but it looks like something you would have to pay high bucks for at a restaurant. It has thinly sliced carrots, mushrooms, onions, garlic, orange peel shreds, oregano, salt, and pepper topped with a piece of salmon fillet. On the salmon you put some thinly sliced orange pieces. All that is assembled in a piece of foil and wrapped up, then baked in the oven. We'll see how that turns out! Here's the link to the recipe in case anyone wants to try it.
