Usually, I am pretty basic when it comes to salmon, I love cooking it on a cast iron and creating a crust on the skin. Then I season it with just sea salt and lemon. It’s my go-to when I don’t know what else to make and I have become reliant on it for so long. So, I definitely needed to switch it up when it comes to cooking salmon. Enter these healthy salmon burgers with a wasabi aioli on top and a side of the most simple slaw. This whole dish is perfect for spring and summer because it is light and easy to throw together.

I think it’s because somehow I was convinced that they would be too much trouble to make. Well that couldn’t be further from the truth. These protein peanut butter cups are SO EASY! Plus they are made with one of my new favourite plant based protein powders and I snuck a little jam in there as well. You are going to LOVE them so much, promise!

Guys can be pretty picky when it comes to food and eating healthy. I know that living with my partner Sam (pictured above) for the past five years, dinner time can be difficult. For the most part, he is open to trying lots of new things, but there are definitely things that he does not like and I hear about them, cue *eye roll* here. Examples include: lentils(!), chickpeas(!), sun dried tomatoes(?), anything identified as gluten free (yeah, for real), “fake pizza” (one made with cauliflower/almond flour/gluten free) and quinoa. What does he like you ask? Steak, pasta (all day, every day- who doesn’t?), all seafood, kale salads (yup!), chicken marsala, lamb, potatoes, chocolate (or any sweet really) and cheese.

So it is my goal to get back to basics, enjoy real food and discover the truth about several food myths.
