I had such a great time speaking at the to groups of future leaders from all across our area. Thank you for having me!

Air Fryer Salmon and Pesto Pasta
I saw this and modified it a little bit, so dang good!!

4 Salmon Fillets
Oil
2TBSP dill
2TBSP Brown Sugar
2TBSP Herb and Garlic Seasoning

Mix dry seasonings together, pat fish dry, spray with oil and press seasoning mix into fish.
Air Fry SKIN DOWN on Seafood setting 8-10 minutes.

Pasta
Cook pasta of choice according to the package (I add chicken stock to my pasta water, personal choice not necessary)

While pasta cooks, in a bowl combine:

1/4cup Pesto
1/4cup Mayo or Sour Cream
1/4cup Cream Cheese
2tsp Jarlic
Pinch of red pepper flakes
S/P

Drain your pasta and add the cream mixture to your hot pot, keep the heat on low and warm your sauce up, add your pasta back in AND add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, a little at a time so it combines well.

***tip: if you keep a little bit of your pasta water you can add it in to help the sauce thin out a bit

Possible modifications:
Any protein of choice
Chickpea pasta (20g of protein per cup)
Add cooked peas or broccoli into pasta
Serve cold as a pasta salad
Leave the mozzarella out, it would still be super tasty

Sometimes meal prepping can also mean prepping to cook.
I like to take some time to pre-chop a bunch of veggies that I use on the regular in dishes. This saves me a ton of time through the busy week nights.

But here’s the thing, I can also buy pre-chopped veggies in the frozen section of Sobeys and No Frills, and when they are on sale it’s worth snapping them up.

The point is if you can eliminate a few steps you are more likely to cook well rounded meals even on busy weeknights!

FROZEN is just as good and often better than fresh, and it’s usually cheaper! Take advantage of this to save money and time.
