    I didn?t know that collagen had so many benefits in our body, we should take advantage of that including all types of healthy foods in our diet. And let me tell that these recipes look amazing and I will enjoy preparing them for my entire family. I know they will love them as well as myself.

    I live in Alaska and we eat a TON of salmon. We can subsistance fish for it since we live in a small community, which means we can catch a very generous amount of fish without limiting out (until a certain extent), so we’re always looking for new ways to cook salmon. Thanks for the info and the great recipes!
