Today is the third day being on my Getting Back to Goal plan. I always say the third day is the hardest. You are all gung-ho for the first two days but by the third one you’d really like a piece of candy, a glass of wine, some chips, or whatever is your happy food. Chilean sea bass is a great choice for the third day because it is unctiously delicious that you feel you are cheating without doing so.

The first thing to work on are the new potatoes since they will take the longest to cook. I put them in a steamer basket with an inch or so of water.

After the potatoes have been on for about 15 minutes I start the Brussels sprouts and John puts the fish in the oven.

The dinner is fabulous. Everything is cooked well and the delicious fish makes it seem like a festive occasion. Chilean sea bass is expensive but there is no waste and, if you buy the frozen product from Costco, it is much less pricy but still wonderful.
