Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken
Grilled chicken breast is the quintessential “healthy” meal. Packed with lean protein, it’s great for your macros, but it’s not always the most appetizing. Sure, it’s easy to ramp up the flavor by breading and frying, but that packs on the calories. Fortunately, a quick and easy honey mustard sauce can really give your chicken a bit of pizazz without busting your gut. Here’s how to make some great honey mustard grilled chicken.

Hall of Fame Veggie Burger
This is based off of the All-Star Veggie Burger recipe on Allrecipes.com (it’s even better, hence the name “Hall of Fame”). Made with a variety of nutritious ingredients, it offers a lot of flavor and texture while still being 100% vegetarian.
The original recipe is intended for vegans, but really suffers from the lack of a binder. Adding in an egg helps keep the burger together instead of crumbled all over your plate.

Black Bass with Warm Rosemary-Olive Vinaigrette
Fish is a great source of lean protein and omega 3 fatty acids, which are great for heart health. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat fish regularly or take an omega 3 supplement (fish oil or flax oil tablets) daily to ensure that you’re getting enough omega 3. This easy dish helps you get that nutrition with a delicious bittersweet flavor.
