We're encouraged to eat it because it has many health benefits; quite honestly, I would eat it regardless. But let's find out a bit more about this fabulous fish. Also this week, as April comes to an end, it's time to look ahead to what May brings.

Whether you eat low carb or low fat, salmon should absolutely be on the menu. Wild or farmed? Good question. Our Low Carb Expert can enlighten you. | Cinco de Mayo Light Mexican-style fare is a weekly staple in our house. My kids love quesadillas or tacos. Cinco de Mayo gives us just another great excuse to indulge in some Mexican-inspired recipes.
