Although there are many ways to prepare London Broil, simplify and thrive is the motto in my home. Therefore, baking is the way to go if you want to save time on healthy meal prep.
Ingredients:
3 to 5 lb London Broil from http://www.uswellnessmeats.com
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoon vinegar
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a freezer bag and marinade overnight. Turn oven to 325 degrees. Place the meat and the marinade mixture in a glass baking dish and cover with foil. Place in oven to bake until cooked to preference. I bake mine for around 45 minutes and prefer a medium rare meat.
Sides:
Sides can make or break a meal. London Broil pairs well with an organic salad and fresh green beans. I like to saute my green beans with REAL butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Enjoy!
My family loves this dish served with Pappardelles Pasta. This is a high protein pasta with amazing texture. You can order this pasta at http://www.pappardellespasta.com.
Ingredients:
4 wild King salmon fillets from http://www.vitalchoice.com (about 5 ounces each)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
14.5 oz Muir Glen diced tomatoes
1 yellow onion
1 lemon for juice
Spinach
Organic butter
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Sprinkle salmon with olive oil, salt and pepper.
3. In small bowl stir the tomatoes, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and a bit more salt and pepper.
4. Place a handful of spinach on a square of foil large enough to hold your salmon filet. Place about 2 tablespoons of chopped onion on top of spinach. Next place salmon filet on top of spinach and onion and spiral together the ends of the foil to make a boat for the fish.
5. Add a small bit of butter to top of fish and then spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon. Don’t worry about how much just eye ball what you think you would like.
6. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely and seal the packets closed.
7. Place the foil packet on a large baking sheet. Follow this process until all packets are placed on the baking sheet.
8. Bake until salmon is just cooked through. About 25 minutes.
9. A large metal spatula works well to transfer salmon to plate. Keep the yummy juices left in the foil and pour over the top of the fish

Sugar is the devil. Plus, it wrecks your hormone intelligence. That doesn’t meant you can’t indulge in a little bread every now and then. Try this healthy recipe on your cheat day as a dessert. Top it off with some butter and honey.
