So yes, potentially a weird combo of items but it will all make sense soon.
First up is a very simple fish I made this last week. I love black cod but usually in a Japanese restaurant. As I stood at Manhattan Meats picking up chicken and meat for my protein hungry hubby I couldn't help but see the fish (that I was always overlook when I am there). So I picked up the black cod, never making it at home my you. Got a tip from the butcher and here it is to share:
1 lb black cod
use a lil lemon pepper
wrap in foil
cook at 350 degrees for 30 min
Open foil, squeeze of lemon and enjoy! Now it may not look like much but it tastes so good - a mild, white fish who doesn't like that?
Now to master the miso cod at Izaka-ya by Katsuy-ya.
Ingredients:
4 ripe mashed bananas 1 c. almond meal
1/4 c. coconut oil, warmed 1/3 c. shredded coconut
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp almond extract 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 3/4 c. old fashioned oats 1/2 tsp sea salt
6 oz vegan carob chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with Silpat or parchment paper.
Mix the bananas, coconut oil, vanilla, almond extracts in a large bowl.
Combine the oats, almond meal, coconut, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl; toss to blend.
Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir into well combined. Stir in the carob chips. The dough will be moist.
Using mini ice cream scooper scoop out tablespoons of the dough and roll into a ball, place on baking sheet, press each dough into 1/2 in thickness. Bake until golden brown about 20 min.
Now, even i had to try these and was a nice lil treat along with my son who loved them too. Try to restrain yourself from just picking at the cookie to get to the carob chips.

Next up - a farro dish that my son begged me to make after watching Giada's show (yes, I think he has a thing for dark haired, Italian women). Ingredients
1/4 c. toasted pecans
1/3 c. plus 2 tbsp olive oil
1 small shallot - 1 used 1/4 of purple onion
1 c. farro
2 sprigs oregano or 1/2 tsp dried if fresh not avail
1 tsp sea salt
juice of 1 large lemon
juice of 1 orange
1 small bunch dino kale, stemmed and finely shredded
1/2 c. dried cherries
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and cut into 1/2 in pieces
4 oz goat cheese - I omitted this as I don't do cheese
Put pecans in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring until lightly toasted
about 8-10 min. Cool completely and then chop up.
Heat saucepan over med-high heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and shallot and cook. Cook until shallots are softened and fragrant about 3 min. Add the farro and toast for about 4 min. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in 2 c. water, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the farro is cooked through, about 25 min. Remove the sprigs, drain the farro and set aside.
make the dressing - whisk together the lemon and orange juices, remaining 1/3 c. olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the warm farro and toss to coat it through. Add the kale, cherries, cucumber, nuts, toss to combine. Add goat cheese if adding in.

Good side dish with almost any meat. We had it with grilled chicken during the Super Bowl half time show between Katy Perry costume changes.
My son ate 3 lil portions.
