Morning Y’all! 

As I’m sitting here in my kitchen nook (my most favorite area of the house) sippin’ on my coffee, I’m struggling to believe it’s Sunday … AGAIN … HOW DID THIS HAPPEN! The Farmer & I had a relatively low-key weekend as we wanted some “us” time after he had been away this past week on business for work. I’m bringing that low-key attitude to my meal plan this week – simple, rustic meals that are easy to throw together so we can continue to enjoy “us” time throughout the hectic work week ahead. 

Here’s what I’m making this morning to make life a bit easier during the work week – 

• One dozen hard boiled eggs 

• One tray of roasted root veggies

• One day worth of Chia Pudding

• One day worth of Overnight Oats 

In addition to sharing our weekly menu, each week I’ll feature a quick meal prep recipe. This week I’m sharing my easy peasy Blackened Salmon; our Monday night staple!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Two 4oz Portions of Salmon

1 TBSP EVOO

1/2 TBSP Blackened Seasoning – here’s the one we like! 

Let’s Get Started: 

1. Add your EVOO to your skillet & preheat over medium-high heat.

2. While your pan is preheating, season your salmon fillets with the Blackened Seasoning. If it’s your 1st time using this spice mix I’d recommend going LIGHT as it can be rather spicy – as you know, we like it hot here on the farm!

3. Once your pan is up to temp, sear the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side. This will produce a lovely blackened skin while leaving the fish medium in the center. If you like your salmon “well-done” I’d recommend searing for 4-6 minutes.

4. That’s it – serve alongside your choice of veggies – we love having this meal with our Roasted Root Veggies & Steamed Broccoli or Asparagus. Super simple & comes together in under 10 minutes – perfect for a Monday evening!
