As promised, we are both trying to make healthier choices.
To get in shape for my next half marathon and wedding season, I am enlisting the serious help of lean proteins and plenty of fresh vegetables.
I’m fortunate to come from a “foodie” family who instilled the importance of a balanced diet.
We’re sharing some recipes to help keep you on track, too!
What was on the menu for Sunday night dinner?
Maple Syrup Glazed Salmon
1. Place 1 lb. of salmon on a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with dill and lime pepper.
Cover dish with lid.
2. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (or until mostly done).
3. Remove cover and pour a quarter cup of real maple syrup over the salmon.
4. Put back in the oven on broil. Make sure it is no less than 6 inches from broil.
5. Check every 3 minutes until it is caramelized to your liking.
Grilled Asparagus Salad
1. Wash and trim fibrous ends of stalk.
2. Holding the asparagus over your cast iron grill,
drizzle and rub a tablespoon of olive oil on the asparagus.
3. Cook at medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add a teaspoon of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos and a quarter of a teaspoon of Balsamic Vinegar.
The dish will steam and simmer. Quickly toss and remove from the grill.
You can serve hot, or let it cool and add to a salad.
And since we mean business, we’ve even created a new category: Yum!
