Tasty Grouper served on Spinach Orange Salad

I’ve been offered a suggestion as a New Year’s resolution; to try doing just one thing at a time. That sounds simple, but it’s not. How can you stop multi-tasking once you’ve become accustomed? One possible solution may be to invest in meditation. Quieting the mind to meditate would be a first step towards focusing on doing just one thing at a time. I always imagined that multi-tasking was advantageous. Much gets accomplished, in a shorter time period. But I can see the downfall. It does become difficult to do anything right when attempting many things at once.

There is still time, before the new year celebrations take over, with all their extravagant offerings, for something light and refreshing. The following was served with a side of quinoa, cooked in homemade chicken broth with some chopped red onion and mushrooms.
