I love lamb. I was in a meatball mood, but wanted to keep dinner grain-free. Almond flour worked beautifully with both the texture and flavor. I hope you love it! If you’re strict Whole30 or Paleo, leave out the feta.

Jen’s Grilled Garlicky Herb Pork Tenderloin with Fennel and Orange Salad
#constantlyvariedgear @constantlyvariedgear #cvgarmy @cvgarmy
I’m so excited! I won a pair of skull food leggings from my favorite activewear company, Constantly Varied Gear, for healthy recipe contributions! I love these things! Perfect for CrossFit, chillaxing, and they’ll be my Animal Kingdom outfit the next time we go for a Dole Whip. Disney ready!
Pork tenderloin is a super lean cut that grills really fast. This tastes and smells wonderful. If you don’t have a grill, don’t let that stop you! Roast it at 425 degrees F to til the internal temp is 145. I’ve roasted it in the oven for a holiday dinner when I was entertaining before. It’s always a winner and silly easy! Hope you love it!

Jen’s Steak and Eggs with an Herb Sauce and Tomatoes
My herb sauce is similar to chimichurri, but I use about ¼ of the oil. I like to keep it about the fresh herbs. Hope you love it!

Jen’s Grilled Garlicky Fajita Shrimp Over Tropical Salad
We love sweet heat, the combination of tropical fruit and chile peppers. If you’re not a big spicy fan, totally reduce or completely omit the jalapeno! If you don’t have a grill, no problem! Just use a big skillet over medium high for the same time! Hope you love it!

Jen’s Smoked Salmon & BBQ 101 Directions. Let’s Smoke!
Salmon is the easiest thing to smoke and so unbelievably delicious! It’s 97 degrees here, so a quick smoke is perfect in this weather. Once you build the fire and the smoker gets up to temp, it’s only about 40 minutes til dinner’s on the table. Boom! I’ll walk you through step by step in case a smoker is an entirely new thing to you, but definitely zoom ahead if you know how to build a fire and smoke dinner.

Jen’s Grilled Chicken and Asparagus with Pesto, Tomatoes, and Fontina
I love the combination of grilled chicken with a little fontina, pesto, asparagus, and tomatoes. Pesto’s traditionally made with pine nuts, but walnuts are cheaper and more nutritious, so I’m going that route. Hope you love it!

Jen’s Kitchen Sink Juice!
Fresh juice! I love to make it once a week! Turmeric is supposed to be lovely for joints, pineapple for inflammation, and celery for skin. Are they, though?! Since we’re not eating them in a vacuum, and have lots of other things going on in our lives, who knows?! I’m sure your mileage may vary, but when someone complains about an elbow or knee, they ask me to make turmeric juice and it stops. Either way, getting lots of extra produce in our diets is always a great idea.
I make a lot of juice hoping for three day’s worth. With two teenagers who want lovely skin in the house, it rarely makes it past two days.
