Sharing with Sheryl

I hope you’re all enjoying this summer season when the days are longer, and the sunshine helps boost your mood and health. One thing I like about summer is the increased access to fresh vegetables and fruits. I find they pair perfectly with some of my favorite dishes.

I try to plan meals by starting with a lean protein like salmon or chicken. These foods are lower in fat, contain essential nutrients and help boost metabolism. These meats are also easy to prepare on the grill, which makes them perfect for summer because no one wants to spend a lot of time cooking over a hot stove when the weather outside is warm and sunny.

I recently tried a new recipe I want to share with you. It’s high in protein, pairs well with fresh produce and can be cooked on the grill. Add some fresh vegetables or a salad of your choice for the perfect summertime meal.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and the rest of summer! I look forward to meeting many of you at Gleaner’s Convention in October!

Sincerely,
