Plated Halibut on Sweet Peppers

I once read never trust a “skinny chef.” Well, you can trust me by about forty extra pounds. Over the last year, I have been working on changing how this family eats. With focused effort, I have lost 42lbs with about 44lbs to go. When it comes to weightloss, for me , it’s all about proportion size of the food. I grew-up with the parental dining rule that ”there’s kids in other countries starving, so you better clean your plate.”

These days, I am a member of Weight Watchers and I go to my group meetings on Thursdays. So I thought on Thursdays I would spotlight a meal that is very low in calories and fat, but also really delicious and simple to make.
I hope you enjoy tonight’s meal: Roasted Halibut on a bed of Sweet Peppers with Avocado Sauce and Steamed Asparagus.
