Pecan Crusted Honey Mustard Salmon in Foil

Leave a Comment

Ingredients

For the honey mustard:

  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon about 2 tbsp
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

For the Salmon:

  • 2 lbs salmon filet (skin on or off)
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees or heat a grill to medium heat.
  2. Begin by whisking honey mustard ingredients: dijon mustard, honey, oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and salt.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with foil, and coat with cooking spray. Place the salmon in the middle of the foil. Spoon the honey mustard over the salmon, then top with pecans. 
  4. Fold the foil over the top of the salmon so that it is completely covered.
  5. For the oven, bake for about 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of salmon for anything thicker than 1 inch you will need a few extra minutes). Remove from oven and set to broil. Then carefully peel back the top of the foil (you may have some steam here), and return back to the oven under the broiler for another 2 minutes. 
  6. For the grill, transfer the foil pack to the hot grill. Cook for 13-14 minutes or until salmon is almost cooked through. Carefully open the top of the foil, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. 
  7. Serve hot!

Having a Winning Mindset

Leave a Comment

Today I want to encourage you to go into whatever it is you are wanting to achieve or do with a winning mindset.

You will win.

I have won.

Whatever winning looks like to you.

It could be your next sales call, your next presentation, business deal, or victory on the scale.

Our mind is an amazing beast.

Every day we choose whether our mind is working with you or against you.

The most important word in that last sentence is CHOOSE.

You get to choose.

We all have triggers and things that knock us off our game no matter how big or small the stakes.

We can talk ourselves out of deserving the promotion, landing that next big deal or contract, or victory with our health.

We have to trust ourselves and believe in what’s already True.

Look beyond the goal.

When I get out of my own darn way is when I always succeed and I have to remember its not about me. It’s the people I get to serve.

When working towards a health and wellness goal it’s never about the number on the scale.

Look right past that.

It’s about how we feel in the morning when we wake up.

The energy we have with our kids or after a long day.

How we show up in front of our peers.

Our daily confidence.

What if you woke up every day and said:

“I am healthy, strong, and confident.”

What do you think would happen if you said this for 365 days?

Do you think it would come true?

I do?

Why do I know this?

Because I have seen it in my own life and our client’s lives.

Wake up with a winning mindset and nothing will stop you.

Be in gratitude and full of faith. You can and will achieve anything you desire.

But if you feel stuck, and you can’t get off the hamster wheel of negative thoughts. You have to reach out.

We’ve never been only a workout and never will be.

It’s so much more than that.

Living in Peace

Leave a Comment

Today I want to talk about Peace.

Are you living in peace?

Human crowd forming a symbol of peace on the white background. Horizontal composition with copy space. A clipping path is included.

This is a pretty deep conversation and I want you to stay with me.

I find most of us are living in suffering. Case and point this pandemic, disease, etc.

We are unhappy with our body, negative thoughts fly through our head, vicious cycles, anxiety –this up and down thinking of life.

But what if you were living in your truth, who are you really meant to be?

How are you meant to feel?

Deep stuff.

Suffering will always bring our greatest clarity and peace, and there is always a journey.

I have personally felt a lot of suffering here in these last 3-4 years, it’s been a tremendous journey. And I can tell you I am now feeling peace.

Things are falling in place; the ups and downs are not so…up and down. 😉

Handling challenges are less intimidating and more liberating. Some of you may say this is time or maturity and I would agree to some extent.

I would tell you it was gaining insight into what was already TRUE.

What was already available to me.

When I talk to potential clients, I commonly hear them say, “I feel stuck” or “I keep ridding a rollercoaster with my weight/emotions.”

“I want more from my life/career.”

“I want to feel good when I wake up in the morning.”

I could go on.

The journey to uncovering your truth and ultimately living in peace is a journey worth taking. And it’s a journey best navigated with a coach. Someone walking beside you.

This is the high-level coaching I have been doing and it is simply beautiful work.

We have been unpacking what do I really want to do when I grow up.

Getting rid of the head trash and negative self-talk.

Creating consistent routines, consistent headspace that is uplifting.

We have been creating peace.

Abundance is all around us.

PRIMAVERA PORK TENDERLOIN

Leave a Comment

 

DESCRIPTION

Celebrate spring with this Juicy Primavera Pork Tenderloin stuffed with all your favorite springtime veggies and drizzled in a flavorful Italian marinade. It’s pretty enough to serve to guests but easy enough to make for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner. It’s the ultimate spring pork recipe!

INGREDIENTS

2 – 1 1/2-2 lb. pork tenderloins

100 grams thinly sliced prosciutto

Optional: 1/4 cup goat cheese (omit for Paleo and Whole30)

6 asparagus spears, ends snapped off

1/4 yellow pepper, cut into strips

1/4 small zucchini, cut into rounds then each round cut in half

1/2 tomato, cut into slices

THE SEASONING

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons each: minced fresh oregano and thyme (or 1 teaspoon each dried)

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Set your oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the pork on the baking sheet and make cuts every 2 inches along the tenderloins being careful not to cut all the way through.

Stuff a small piece of prosciutto into each of the cuts. If you’re using the goat cheese, place about a teaspoon in each cut. Fill the cuts with the veggies, alternating colors.

In a small bowl, mix together all the seasoning ingredients. Pour this over the pork.

Place the tenderloins in the oven and roast for 25 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, you want it to read 145 degrees. After removing it from the oven, let the pork rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into slices to serve.

NOTES

You’ll have some extra veggies on hand after stuffing the pork. They’re great tossed in a little olive oil and roasted beside the pork. Or make an easy veggie stir fry tomorrow!

Staying the same is easy.

Making change is hard, but so worth it in the end.

In order to see results, we have to do the small things daily that add up to a lifetime of success.

No one gets to arrive.

It’s intentional work daily.

Here’s the thing it doesn’t have to be hard.

But it does have to be focused and aligned.

What is the simplest way for you to get your desired result?

I always recommend getting clear first on what you truly want.

Stop doubting yourself.

Stop shoulding yourself.

Stop putting it off.

Get focused, Get aligned, Get in Action!

You owe it to yourself to live your life the way you were designed and intended to.

Don’t make things harder. I have been the Queen of this in the past and it doesn’t help.

Life can be simple.

Spend the time working on yourself first.
