Dill Pollen Crusted Wild Coho Salmon with Applewood Bacon and Artichoke Collard Greens and Mashed Cauliflower

Evan and I started a 90 Day Challenge Saturday at our gym to get back to our healthy living habits!  We have been “slacking off” I guess you could say and not feeling as good as we could and should.  You will be seeing more “healthy meals” over the next few months so I hope you enjoy.

My main goal is to eliminate as much processed food as possible from snacks to pasta and everything in-between. I’m usually really good at this but lately I’ve been a SLACKER!!!

We really enjoyed this meal last night.
