One Pan Creamy Salmon, Potatoes & Peas
Think of your body like a car. It needs the right fuel to run smoothly. What you eat directly impacts your energy levels. Ever notice how after a big, greasy meal, you feel sluggish and ready for a nap? That's because not all foods give you the same kind of energy! Carbs, healthy fats and proteins provide sustained energy levels throughout your day and help prevent crashes that are associated with high sugar foods! Integrating these nutrient-dense foods into your diet can significantly enhance overall energy levels and support sustained physical and mental performance.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups Mini Potatoes (halved)
  • 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Thyme (fresh)
  • 2/3 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Cream
  • 1/2 cup Frozen Peas (thawed)
  • 10 ozs Salmon Steak
  • 1/2 Lemon (juiced)
Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). 
  2. In an oven-safe pan or dish, toss together the potatoes, oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. 
  3. Remove the pan from the oven. Add the broth, coconut cream, and peas. Stir to combine, taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. 
  4. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. Place the salmon into the pan and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes or until everything is cooked through. Timing will depend on the thickness of your salmon. 
  5. Divide evenly between plates, squeeze lemon juice on top, and enjoy!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
