Happy mid term voting day! I hope you’re all out there casting your vote..remember every vote counts no matter who you support.

So I figured I’d give you something easy and delicious for today. My son LOVES cod. Me…I’m okay about it. But I have to admit when it comes to fish and chips, cod is the way I go too.

The white, mild flavored flesh of cod is available throughout the year and is a wonderful substitute for meat protein with its versatility making it easily adaptable to all methods of cooking. It is a good source of protein, phosphorus, niacin, and vitamin B-12. You can read more about the health benefits of cod here.
