S, S, S: Salmon, Soup, and Salad

Grilled Salmon: I seasoned mine with a dash of sea salt, ground black pepper, and a homemade apricot marinade that includes chopped dried apricots, coconut oil, herbs and spices (aromatic ones). Grill 6-8 minutes per side, basting with marinade on each flip. But, try not to flip too often or it will break apart very easily.

Word's Best Broccoli Soup: I changed this one up a bit... I used a recipe for "The World's Best Broccoli" to make the base. Place broccoli florets, chopped garlic and some olive oil on a cookie sheet and roast for 15 minutes at 425, or until the tips of the broccoli turn slightly brown. While that's cooking saute chopped onions and another chopped garlic clove in a soup pot with some oil. Add the broccoli to the soup pot and add 1-2 cups of stock made from chicken or beef. Let simmer for about 10 minutes. Then blend the mixture until smooth and add back into the soup pot and allow to simmer on low until you eat. Now if you want this soup to really kick ass add some bacon to the onion and garlic saute, or you could even add a ham hock and pieces of ham to make this soup a main dish with meat.

Salad: greens + avocado + onions and an olive oil-coconut milk dressing.

Enjoy!

Pear Walnut salad

Atop mixed greens of your liking toss some sliced pears and chopped walnuts. Dress with olive oil and a splash, the tiniest splash of balsamic vinegar. If you are on Paleo + Dairy add sliced cheese as well.

Easy change up for a dinner salad. Add some protein (e.g. sliced chicken breast) and this would make a wonderful lunch salad as well.

(Canned) Tuna Nicoise Salad

OK, this one's pretty easy and pretty cheap. On top of some mixed salad greens toss some canned tuna, chopped tomato, olives, hard-boiled egg, onion and just about any other vege you like. I topped with a little ground flaxseed, olive oil and fresh ground pepper.

Enjoy!
