Can we just start a club for people who really want to make and eat healthy dinners for themselves and their families but who fall massively short of their high expectations?  A club where we encourage each other even when we have to pick up fast food for dinner.   A support group for busy, stressed out parents who need to know that they're not a failure if they run out of time to fix a healthy meal and they order pizza instead.    

Since this sort of club may never exist, I'll take it upon myself to tell all of the stressed out parents that you're not alone.  You are not a disappointment, you're not inadequate and you should not feel guilty.  Believe me when I tell you that everyone shares in the struggle to provide healthy meals.

Leave your guilt at the door and whether you cooked a healthy dinner last night or if it's been a month since you fixed a healthy meal - it's never too late to start preparing nutritious meals.  It's a daily struggle - trust me - I get it.  

It's easy to get discouraged when I try and fix healthy meals, especially when I spend an hour preparing a meal and my family really doesn't even enjoy it.  It happens to everyone.  Don't get frustrated, just get back on the healthy meal bandwagon and try again.  

If you're looking for a healthy meal that your family will actually enjoy - give this Grilled Rainbow Trout with Chimichurri a try.

Monday is always fish night in our house and I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it.  The fresh and bright chimichurri sauce was such a nice compliment to this light and flaky fish.  If you can't find fresh trout - I'm sure that this chimichurri would be great on any type of flaky, white fish.  

Ciao!
