Tasty Tuesdays - Lunch
For this week’s Tasty Tuesday, we have three delicious and healthy Lunch Recipes to help you get through the day, whether it is a long day at work or a hectic day out with the fam. Keep these to rotate into your current lunches, or use the ideas to help come up with your own version of them! The important thing is all of these recipes include each macronutrient food group - which is important for that middle of the day energy boost. Enjoy!
Salmon and Veggies
Preheat oven to 400F. Combine olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Toss in cauliflower to cover it with the mixture and spread on baking sheet.
Combine olive oil with cumin and paprika. Cut sweet potatoes, cover in the mixture of oil, and spread on baking sheet. Roast in oven for 30 minutes and stir midway.

Dice the beets and add fresh to vegetable mix. Serve with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
