Steve's Food Diary: Week One

Day 1

Description

This meal incorporates a small salad, 4-6 ounce portion of protein (chicken, turkey or fish), 1 serving of vegetables and your choice of beverage following the guidelines. Given Steve Harvey's appreciation for fresh fish, we decided to bring in subtle yet distinct flavors that would deliver a memorable eating experience.

Salad - Pear and Goat Cheese Salad w/ a Drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar

(The sweetness of the pear pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the goat cheese and acidity of the balsamic vinegar. Keep in mind that a little goat cheese goes a long way so don't add any more than 1 teaspoon)

Fish Option - Sesame and Poppy Seed Encrusted Chilean Sea Bass

(Staying creative with your dishes is always a plus. Adding seeds to your fresh fish options only enhances the flavor but also adds a nice crunchy element. Broiling the fish is a great way to cook, leaving the fish golden and crisp on the outside with a nice succulent center. For added flavor squeeze citrus, like lemon over your fish.)

Veggies - Steamed Asparagus

(This is a super simple way to making asparagus, leaving them perfectly cooked.)

Beverage - 1 Cup of Unsweetened Lime and Mint Infused Tea
Highlighted Dish - Sesame and Poppy Seed Encrusted Chilean Sea Bass
