Salmon with vegetable noodle stir-fry
This dinner is such a simple way to get in high-quality protein and plenty of veggies without feeling heavy. The salmon provides protein and omega-3 fats to support hormones, brain health, and inflammation, while the vegetable noodles keep things lighter and add extra fiber and nutrients. Tossed into a stir-fry, it’s one of those easy meals that leaves you feeling satisfied, energized, and not weighed down after dinner.

Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 tbsps Tamari
  • 2 tsps Maple Syrup
  • 1 1/2 tsps Sesame Oil (toasted)
  • 1 Garlic (clove, minced)
  • 14 ozs Salmon Fillet
  • 6 ozs Rice Vermicelli Noodles (dry)
  • 2 cups Snow Peas (stems removed)
  • 5 ozs Mini Peppers (seeds removed, sliced)
  • 2 tsps Sesame Seeds (toasted)
Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, oil, and garlic.
  3. Place the salmon on the baking sheet and brush with half of the tamari mixture. Cook in the oven for 14 to 15 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles according to the package directions.
  5. In a pot over medium-high heat, add the remaining tamari mixture, snow peas, bell peppers, and cooked noodles. Stir well and cook for five minutes until the flavors have combined.
  6. Divide the noodles and salmon evenly between bowls or plates. Top with sesame seeds 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.
