Dinner needs to be simple tonight!



When you are trying to take back control of your eating and workout goals, cooking gourmet just doesn’t cut it. There is an old saying, K.I.S.S. – “Keep it simple silly (well, it technically is stupid, but I don’t like that word).

Thankfully, it is summer – heat up the grill, and grill your dinner tonight. No fuss, little mess and yummy food.

SO…here is a yummy, dinner menu that is simple, easy, and oh so yummy!

Meat Dish:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast marinated overnight

Mediterranean Marinade
1 1/2 cups olive oil, 1 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons oregano, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Side Dish:

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Place foil on the grill, spray with a little coconut oil spray. Then place the following on the foil.

Brussel sprouts washed and cut in half
Drizzle with olive oil (about 2 TBSP)
Sprinkle with Sea Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper

Dessert:

Grilled Pineapple

Ok, the easiest part of the evening: buy already sliced fresh pineapple rings or spears from your produce case. Place on the grill long enough to get some grill marks.

There…a simple, but very tasty meal. Increase the amount of chicken you grill, and that could be your meat for some of the salad for the upcoming days ahead.
