Hey there! Wow, it's been a LONG time since I've done a post...I guess that you could say that life's been a tad busy over these past five months...
We enjoyed the summer of 2013 as a family - Scott and I were both off on parental leave and we spent much of it on holidays. We were away from Canmore for weeks at a time. We visited family in Grande Prairie and on Vancouver Island plus enjoyed lots of camping, climbing, hiking, and mountain biking.
Sadly, we had to return to real life by mid-September as both of us needed to get back to work. Being a working momma with two kids has been both challenging and overwhelming at times but we are finally starting to settle into a routine. Scott's new business venture (Windtower Construction) has added a whole new level of busyness to our lives but we're managing. I look forward to a time when things settle down a little but I suspect that this is our new reality.
And since this blog is supposed to be more about food than my family life, I'm finally going to post a new recipe! Our fish order arrived at the end of October and again, I'm thrilled with both the quality and quantity of fish that we received for our $250. I only opted for one piece of halibut which we enjoyed this past Sunday. I searched the internet for a new halibut recipe and came up with the one posted below. It's been modified slightly from the Barefoot in the Kitchen website.
Baked halibut with Pesto Sauce
Ingredients:
1 large pieces of Halibut (or 2 smaller pieces)
2 tablespoons flaked almonds
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 tbsp pesto
2 tbsp mayo
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Grind or chop almonds into medium-sized pieces using coffee mill or large knife.
3. Mix almonds, pesto, mayo, parmesan cheese plus salt and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Place halibut on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread pesto mixture evenly on top of halibut.
4. Bake in oven for 15-20 mins. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Enjoy!
