Roasted broccoli with peanuts side dish



Hey! 
I don't do a whole lot of cooking so when I find something that knocks my socks off, I feel that it is only fair that I share!  So I wanted to send this out in case you needed something good in your back pocket for those fall camp fire invites. It was a hit with our obstacle run team this weekend at the after party!  

Meet your go-to broccoli recipe. It’s the perfect side dish any night of the week for meals as simple as grilled chicken breast and as delicious as this maple-glazed salmon. It’s versatile too. Add grilled tofu or tempeh for Meatless Monday, stir it into a quinoa salad, or serve it in a brown rice bowl with a poached or fried egg. It tastes even better as leftovers, and holds up well in the fridge for days, so use this recipe to take your next meal prep up a notch.

 One of my goals for the upcoming months is to use the email newsletters for more than just beachbody blasts and info, as a customer signed up with them, I am sure you get enough of those!  If there is something specific that you'd want to learn more about, just let me know!  I want to make sure you guys are getting something useful.  
The team hosts 4 week challenge groups for accountability and support, coach sneak peeks, and coach mentorship programs monthly.  If you ever want any more info on any of them, feel free to contact me!  In the meantime, hope you have a great month!
