Your guests, more than likely, will be grateful for being spared the feeling of being overstuffed. If you are personally concerned about weight gain during this time and feel that sweets are too much of a temptation to have around the house, just have enough on hand for guests. You may want to trim your baking down to just accommodate those expected guests. If need be you can always run out to the bakeshop if you are running low.

I was able to purchase some wonderful fresh salmon this past week from Don's Seafood, my fresh fish supplier at the Port Perry Country Market.

Take afilet of salmon and dust it with salt and white pepper, but be careful, you don't want to "over-season" the fish. Put olive oil into a large pan over a very high heat.
