The 1030 class threw down some incredible plates monday for their "Lunch @ the Gym"

here are some of the recipes:

Baked Salmon
1 Salmon filet
Lemon juice
Garlic salt
Lemon pepper

Pour lemon juice all over salmon then add garlic salt and lemon pepper. Cook @ 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. (10-15 min per inch of thickness) For more flavor you can add soy sauce and olive oil. Just pour it over before you season it.

Grilled Peppers
Green Bell Pepper
Red Bell Pepper
Orange Bell Pepper
Yellow Bell Pepper
Med Onion

Cut them all length ways into strips. Mix all together in a bowl. Put on a long piece of foil. Add olive oil to your liking then some garlic salt. The more oil the yummier :o) Cover with another piece of foil and fold all sides. Shake it a little to get the oil all over then put on BBQ Grill for about 20-25 minutes. You could use olive oil butter it's just as yummy.

Grilled Chicken: (Didn’t bring it but it’s yummy)
Chicken Breast
Lemon Juice
Soy Sauce
Garlic Salt
Lemon Pepper

Mix it all into a Ziploc bag or container and let it marinate for a couple hours (you don’t have to but its better too). BBQ on low until done.

Ceviche

1 can of baby clams (drained)
1/2 chopped onion
4 chopped roma tomatoes
cilantro
1/2 can of small v-8 juice
1 capful of A-1 steak sauce
1 lemon squeezed ( i used that lemon juice container thingy & just add as i go...taste wise)

*mix all ingredients & add sea salt as you go for taste..also, if you need more juices, add v8 a little at a time.

Chicken-Pistachio Salad
Salad
4 pieces thin cut chicken breast
1/2 cup shelled pistachios finely ground
1/2 tspn salt
1/2 tspn pepper
2 tbspn olive oil
1/2 cup diced sweet white onion

salt & pepper chicken then dip in the ground up pistachios. Heat 1 tbsn oliveoil & cok chicken 2 minutes pe side. Place chicken on baking dish & bake for 15 minutes on 375.
Heat remaining oilve oil & brown up the white onion

Dressing
1 tspn grated sweet white onion
1 large ripe avacado
3 tbspn olive oil
2 tbspn fresh lime juice
1 tbspn water

Puree the onion, avacado, oil, lime juice & water in blender

slice up chicken breast on throw on top of a bed of romaine lettuce . Serve with dressing & sauted white onion

Spaghetti Squash

Cut squash length wise and clean out seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste. Heat oven to 350, wrap in foil or use a baking dish and place squash cut side down and bake for aprox. 30 min or until a fork goes easily in the skin. Let cool. After it's cooled enough to handle scrape out the inside's with a fork. Can be eaten as is or you can use like a pasta and toss with your favorite pasta sauce!!

Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Rub tenderloin with olive oil and seasoning rub. Let marinate at least 30 mins., 8 hours or more is best!!
Grill on high and sear all sides, then turn heat to med. and grill for aprox. 20 mins. depending on the size. It's a myth that pork needs to killed(meaning cooked till it's dry and tough)!! Cook till it's light pink in the center. Let it rest of 10-15 mins. before cutting. This will help keep the juices in!!
This can also be done in the oven. Pan sear all sides in olive oil then place pan in the oven heated to 350 for aprox. 20 mins.

Paleo Pizza

Crust:
1 cup almond flour (or ground almonds)
1 egg
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

Beat egg then form dough with all ingredients.
Put on a pan that has been oiled
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes

Put a tomato paste or sauce that has no sugar added to it on top and then top with your favorite toppings.

I used chicken, green peppers and fresh tomatoes

Make sure all your toppings are cooked before putting on your pizza.

I put pizza with all toppings back in just to heat it all up again.

***Also if you want to cut down the fat, once the crust is done cooking cut it in half and save it for another meal.
