recovering from a month of indulgences

Well, it's been an unhealthy food fest around here so, this week's meals are aiming to be on the healthy side.  Epicurious.com was my go to for this week's menu plan.  Lots of yummy stuff in the buzz box, etc.  Here's the plan:
Mussels with Sherry, Saffron and Paprika.  I'll be adding clams to this for Jim since he doesn't care for mussels
Poblano Albóndigas (meat balls) with Ancho Chile Soup  I'm replacing the ground beef with turkey
Sauteed Tuna with warm olive vinaigrette.  This is a long time favorite of mine. YUM!
Lamb Köfte with Yogurt Sauce and Muhammara.  I  guess lamb's a bit unhealthy but, I love kofte in yogurt
Seared Sea Scallops with Lemongrass Sauce and Basil, Mint and Cilantro Salad
Saffron Linguine with Spicy Shrimp and Vegetables.  This recipe has you toss the linguine with a saffron mixture but that doesn't really work well so, I will probably make real saffron linguine.

Definitely a fishy week, I hope to get my cholesterol under control before I see my Dr....

I also read some interseting recipes by Alex Jamieson, the wife of the supersize me guy.  She wrote a book called "The Great American Detox Diet" about how they "detoxed" him after that month.  Wondering if the book is any good....
