{Fresh Friday: healthy recipe}

Hello there and Happy Friday to you!!
It's been pretty fabulous around these parts....
The flowers are starting to bloom like crazy! And I don't know about you....but I LOVE flowers!
I just think it looks so happy when you have lots of flowers at your front door....makes people think it's a welcoming place:)
Plus I think it looks sort of cottagey......

The fish in the pond seem pretty happy.....even if i'm having an algae over bloom problem...

I think I need more pond plants to off set the algae blooom?!!?!? Anyone have a pond & some advice????

Now for a little healthy recipe!!!

My herbs are starting to grow like crazy....so I got to pick some for my recipe:)

In true simpledaisy style I crammed the tiny herb garden too full of plants.....so when all those tiny plants really get to growing....it will be completely overflowed with herbs!!!! Owell......

I made.......

~Blackened Mahi with Tomato Avocado Salsa~

I know I have made tons of variations on this theme....hopefully I haven't made this before:)

But really....I love blackened fish and I love salsa....so I always chop up some kind of ingrediants and make a salsa.

Blackened Mahi....grilled

I use chili powder, paprika, fennel seeds, & Cayenne pepper!

For the salsa...

avocado

cucumber

tomato

lime juice

sea salt

cilantro

I just love fresh food!! It makes me so happy:)

I also grilled some green beans and fennel with lemon juice and dill.........

then added some feta after they were done.

yum...yum...and more yum:)

Green beans are hands down one of my most favorite vegetables! I might have to try growing them in the garden next year!!!! I think they are pretty good blanched and dipped in hummus or any other dip.

We've also been pretty busy with more of my crazy projects!

My poor husband.....

Here he is trying his best to ignore me as I tell him all the ideas I have:)

Hey Honey....let's rip out all those bushes behind you and build a deck........

Good thing he loves me!

Oh and L.C. is in the full summer shedding mode....

Maybe it's the warm weather we've been having! But here's what it be like if you came over and were to pet her:)

You might even be lucky enough to have a little hair in your food if you were to eat here:)

Even Ruby is covered in L.C. hair!

L.C. says....just love me...I can't help the hair:)

Hope you have a really lovely weekend!!!

I know I'm heading up to Saugatuck, MI today. I just love that place:)
