Let's Get Ready for a Great Week AND a Super Simple Salmon Recipe

I've been working a new schedule for a couple months now and I'm still adjusting!  But I'm absolutely enjoying having the weekends off - so I'm willing to continue on and I'm learning to make more plans/preps during the weekends to make the 4 week days run a little smoother.

One simple way that I plan for the week is by creating a meal plan each week.  This simplifies my week and there's no asking what's for dinner each night!   And the biggest bonus with meal planning is that it's the first step to staying on track with any nutrition goals that I set for myself during the week.  Eating clean at least 80% of the time can be difficult, but if I've planned meals and prepped as many foods as I can over the weekend, I'm less likely to grab unhealthy foods when I'm hungry.

My meal plan for this week is almost finished, so I wanted to share with you guys.  It's my last 2 days of the 30 day County Heat program and then I'll finish out this week with PiYo.

On the menu for Friday is a SUPER SIMPLE salmon recipe.  I love the bourbon glazed salmon from Publix, but we haven't been able to find it lately.  After a few google searches, I've found a simple glaze recipe that is wonderful!

Bourbon Salmon

Ingredients:
- Salmon
- 1 or 2 tbsp Bourbon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar

Directions:
1. Mix bourbon and brown sugar in ziploc bag
2. Place salmon in ziploc bag and coat all pieces of salmon.
3. Refrigerate for several hours (or overnight)
4. Cook salmon your preferred way.  

I like to bake my salmon in the oven on a foil lined baking sheet - it's super easy.  I place salmon in cold oven, then turn oven on to 400 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes until flaky.
