This week features a client spotlight – I have teamed up with client and best friend of 16 years, Lacey, to share this super simple, macro friendly recipe with you!

I like to describe Lacey as a younger cross between Martha Stewart (without the jail time) and Joanna Gaines. Everything she touches in the home turns to gold, and her cooking is no exception. Her meals always feature simple ingredients, but pack a flavorful punch and are macro friendly! Since my idea of cooking is buying a Costco rotisserie chicken; I thought you all might enjoy one of her fabulous dishes. Honestly, my favorite thing every time she feeds me (which is often) is how I think “This is so simple, and so good! I could do that!” No obscure ingredients you use once then shove in the back corner of your pantry. No elaborate cooking times and techniques. Just good, simple, delicious meals for you and your family.

Salmon and Broccoli Sheet Pan Dinner

2 lbs broccoli, cut in florets
2 lbs salmon filet
1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Avocado or olive oil spray
Cooked rice, for serving

Preheat oven to 375 f. Place broccoli on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray with oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated. Bake broccoli for 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven, move broccoli to edges of pan to make room for salmon. Place salmon on the sheet pan, spray with oil and season with everything bagel seasoning. Bake salmon and broccoli for 15-20 more minutes. Serve over rice, if desired.

Lacey’s Top Tips

Lacey is currently rocking her diet and has added in some pretty legit lifting sessions. She has been gracious enough to share some of her favorite ways to stay on track! No wonder she is this weeks client spotlight.

1. Weekly meal planning and grocery shopping – By staying on top of her plan for the week she is planning to succeed, and doesn’t have to scramble for food when she is hungry!
2. Pre logging meals – By entering meals the night before of the morning of, she is better able to stay on target with macros, but also account for the occasional treat.
3. Workout Tracking – Lacey picked up the fitness journal from Amazon I recommended (find it here), and has been logging her workouts to help her see her progress and when to increase sets and reps!
4. Shift your mindset – By changing her mindset to longevity over instant gratification, she is now chasing muscle gain instead of fat loss and guess what – she is getting both!

Thanks for sharing, Lacey!
