It’s hot and humid and the last thing I want to do after a long day is cook dinner. Yet I’m determined to eat something healthy that isn’t a boring salad. 

This is the simplest possible dinner that is carb, dairy and gluten free yet still delicious and satisfying. Rather than calling this a recipe, it’s more of a formula that allows you to change up the ingredients to your liking. 

​

Ingredients:​

1. Meat or Fish (I chose salmon)​

2. Sauce (Whole grain Dijon mustard​)

3. Vegetable for roasting (I chose carrots but broccoli, sweet potato, squash, Brussels, peppers etc would all work well!)

​

Clean and chop the veggies and put them on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 F for 15-20 mins or until done to your liking. Since salmon doesn’t take as long to cook,

I start with the veggies first and then prep my salmon by drizzling olive oil, salt, pepper and dijon mustard to the filets and baking them for 10 mins at 425 F on a foil lined baking sheet.  Cook time will depend on the veggies and protein you choose so just check periodically to make sure it’s cooked through.

Some other combination ideas:

- Chicken breast, balsamic vinegar, rosemary potatoes

- Salmon, teriyaki sauce, asparagus

- Chicken breast, bbq sauce, red onions and peppers
