Grilled Salmon, Grilled Asparagus,Corn-On-The-Cob, With Herb Butter, And Vietnamese Style Bananas






Dinner




A grill and fresh herbs can help make a good recipe even better.
Did you know that salmon is one of the most nutritious types of fish?
Did you know that asparagus are packed with antioxidants, and ranks at the top of the pack for fruits and vegetables that have the ability to fight free radicals. It can also help our brain fight cognitive decline. Enough said about that!
Corn has taken a bad wrap of late, it isn't the corn that is bad it is the type of topping you choose.
Herbs offer health benefits and are easy to grow right from the backyard garden,  plant boxes,  pots, or simply your windowsill.
Eating bananas can help lower the risk of cancer, lowering blood pressure, and improve heart health.
