Salmon/chicken "protein meal"

Another successful meal within the Hay diet guidelines; I realised as I was preparing this, last night, that I'm finding this new way of eating quite exciting.  All it takes is a little more thought about what we are going to have - and what can go with it! - but trying to come up with new combinations, plus an element of raw food, is a really enjoyable challenge!

So, yesterday's dinner was oven-baked salmon (for Warren and me) or pan-fried chicken (our son Pete's not a huge fish fan), accompanied by asparagus, creamed spinach and a red cabbage slaw dressed with orange juice, crushed mustard seeds and toasted pine nuts.  It was a really tasty meal and, because of the raw salad, very filling ... so again, no-one missed the carb element of our old-style meals.
