Martha's Corn and Turkey Salad (gone clean!)

Along with my new Clean Eating magazine, my 25 year old going on 45 year old ass, got the new Martha Stewart Living magazine. Yes. My mother got the subscription for me and I absolutely adore it! So many crafts – so many delicious recipes – so much inspiration! It’s my once a month, sit at the pool, guilty pleasure to sift through coral infused living rooms and 101 ways to use a flower pot… Yes. I am this lame. And proud of it ;)

More to the point, I found this delectibly simple recipe for Bone in Turkey Breast – and along with it a corresponding recipe for a Corn and Turkey Salad… Simply typing it makes me hunger for it! Cooking the turkey takes, maybe an hour total with cooking, resting and cutting… But the salad assembly in a synch! And who doesn’t love a simple, summer meal? Well I’ll tell you one thing, Martha Stewart and I are on the same page with this one!

Rosemary Steak with Arugula and Blue Cheese

I recently got a new issue of Clean Eating magazine … and this recipe was staring me in the face! How delicious – I thought! I had a whole bunch of arugula from a tomato, arugula recipe from a week ago, and this was the perfect way to finish off the allotment!

So simple, so delicious – I am becoming a master of cooking steaks, indoors that is. Steve was telling me a while back that most restaurants cook steak either just pan-searing or a combination of pan-seared AND broiled… either way.. I am learning to secrets to the perfect steak YUM!

Clean Eating Pan Seared Tilapia with Avocado Citrus Salsa

So, if you haven’t picked up on this one already, I am a bit of a planner. And if I am going to eat right, I need to plan to eat right. This means I need to write out every dang meal, collect every dang ingredient, for the whole dang week – or I’m dang screwed. But my Type A organization works here – it really does! Taking the guess-work out of “What’s for Dinner” really forces you to be regimented… and that’s the whole point!

This recipe surfaced when I created a meal plan for the week with basically chicken and veggies. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love chicken, and I love vegetables, but variety is the spice of life people!

Enter Pan Seared Tilapia with Avocado Citrus Salsa… admittedly this is a weird recipe. At first I was a little hesitant to combine all these ingredients, but I thought Steve would love it (he’s far more adventurous than I am) so I gave it a whirl. What a GREAT risk! It was absolutely divine! You HAVE to try this!! Its quick, delicious and light! The perfect summer meal
