Even though cod is very lean and low in fat, it still adds a healthy serving of omega-3 fatty acids to your diet.
Dinner: Dinner: Shrimp with Arugula Pesto and Zucchini Noodles

And don’t forget dessert:
Spiced Baked Pears with Mascarpone
Pears are such a treat when they’re in season, but sometimes they take a while to ripen, and it’s hard to know when they’re perfectly ripe. As a result, they tend to get squeezed and bruised too often. The trick is to give them a gentle squeeze on their neck. When the neck yields to gentle pressure, it’s ready.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and set the rack to the middle position. Grease a small baking dish. 2. Cut the pears in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the core from each piece. Place the pears with the cut side up in the baking dish. 3. Combine 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, ginger, and coriander in a small bowl. Pour this mixture evenly over the pear halves.
4. Sprinkle walnuts over the pear halves.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pears are golden and you’re able to pierce them easily with a knife.
6. While the pears are baking, mix the mascarpone cheese with the remaining 2 teaspoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
7. Divide the mascarpone among the warm pear halves and serve.
Ingredients:
2 ripe pears, peeled
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons honey, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla, divided
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 cup minced walnuts
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
Pinch salt
