Fish Chowder

Cooked Salmon (your choices)
Cooked Mahi Mahi
Cooked Swordfish
Cooked Grouper
Pearl Onion (frozen)
Cauliflower cut in small pieces (frozen) this is in place of potatoes
4 – 5 cups Fat Free Milk
1 ½ cups Mashed Butternut Squash (you can buy this frozen if you like)
3 tablespoons of crushed fresh garlic (I like garlic)


In a pot put a small amount of olive oil and your crushed fresh garlic. Sautees for a few minutes and add your pearl onions, cauliflower and sauté. Then add about 4 – 5 cups of fat free milk, heat until warm. Add your fish, I cut it into small pieces and made sure there were no bones. ( I used a variety of left over fish that I had cooked in my rotisserie the night before). Cook until hot; make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.


Add mashed butternut squash, this will thicken the chowder. Cook on low until thick and hot.


Pete was skeptical about this recipe, he loves clam chowder and in his words….”I don’t like diet food” I don’t call it diet….I call it healthy and also Very, Very Yummy!!!


Enjoy!!

I dream of the day....

I dream of the day…..
When all people are equal…

I dream of the day…..
When all people love one another including themselves….

I dream of the day…..
When we see that beauty comes from the inside a person not from the outside…

I dream of the day…..
When we treat our neighbors the way we want to be treated….

I dream of the day…..
When happiness comes from the goodness of our hearts…

I dream of the day…..
When being rich means you have a rich life…not because of the things you own…

I dream of the day…..
When there is no more suffering…..

I dream of the day……..
When there is no hunger in the world….

I dream of the day…..
When there is no obesity in the world…

I dream of the day…..
When there is peace on earth…

I dream of the day…..
When we can all hold hands and know
We Are All God’s Children….

I dream of the day…..
I Hope I live to see this day....

I dream of the day…..

Much Love,
