I went to yoga at my gym tonight was really impressed, it was a Vinyasa Level 2 class and I was challenged and thought the instructor was really good. I am used to the studio feel (and price) and was worried that it would be too basic and not feel like a true yoga class. By a few minutes in I had a good sweat going! Two thumbs up for Lifetime Yoga!

 

In an effort to eat more fish we made Swordfish with Salsa Verde. Based on a halibut recipe we found in the March issue of Cooking Light this was an easy weeknight meal. I keep trying really hard to like fish, while this tasted excellent I still don’t love cooked fish. Give me sashimi any day! But… this was really tasty and we usually have most of the ingredients on hand. I got home from yoga about 6:45 and by 7:10 we were sitting down enjoying our dinner. How’s that for a quick weeknight dinner!

 

This was served with a romaine and spinach salad with craisins, pine nuts and red pepper slices. Last time we were at Trader Joe’s I picked up a Greek Feta dressing and it was so tasty! Creamy and full of Feta flavor. This might be my new favorite :)

  • 4  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper, divided

  • 1/8  teaspoon  anchovy paste
