Salmon and Asparagus Foil Packs

Dinner. It’s coming. Every night. Some nights I just don’t feel like it. I would rather eat a bowl of cereal but I can’t. I have kids and a husband who would greatly protest. Some nights are super busy, and I really hate going out to eat. It becomes just another thing I have to go and do. Now that I am homeschooling one of my kids, I was forced to get more organized with my meals and my house. Every night, I run the dishwasher. Every morning, I do one load of laundry. Now, every day after breakfast, I am meal prepping for dinner. I need baby steps for change and these 3 things have really worked for me.

Since spring has sprung, I like buying seasonal produce. I found some asparagus and created a salmon and asparagus foil pack meal that I can make right after breakfast. I stick it in the fridge until it’s time to prep dinner. All I have to do is preheat the oven and cook them for 20 minutes. I also add a whole grain side but that never takes longer than 20 minutes while the salmon packs are cooking. You can double this recipe for 4 if you like or get the thinner cuts of salmon in the seafood department. It’s whatever works for you!

These foil packs are also great for lunches! You can prep them once and eat on them a couple of times a week. See how easy they are for yourself in my video below! Do you have any favorite foil pack meals? Tell me below!

May God bless you & protect you always! I ❤️ you so much my heart could burst! Happy Birthday! “My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Prov. 3: 1-6
Instagram post 17849478424718214 My son is my hero! He shares his struggles about his dyslexia with our local news station. Every child deserves an education, and we shouldn’t have to fight educators for their right to read. If kids don’t learn one way, try another and stop blaming the kids.

Instagram post 17898072862396700 Dyslexia Awareness Month is wrapping up! The data shown is based on science. First and foremost, I respect teachers. I'm a teacher's kid. Teachers were not trained to know how harmful whole language and balanced literacy is. This isn't a blame game. Teachers' hands have been tied. Nationwide data shows the reflection of this with at least 63% of 12 graders below proficient in reading. I see it in my college level courses that I teach. It's a harsh reality we all must face. This is more than a dyslexia issue. This is a national reading crisis! It's an emergency because the longer we wait means 1 more child that feels hopeless and turns to drugs and crime all because they cannot read. Schools push kids through without meeting goals or tell parents "dyslexia is the new buzz word" or use the "they will catch up, give it time". NO! THERE IS NO MORE TIME! It's takes 4x longer to remediate in 4th grade and their self esteem has been long compromised. Parents are literally fighting with schools to educate their kids! It's total insanity to say that out loud and yet, it's time to face this. WAKE UP! Call your school board members and principals and school district superintendents. We must adopt Structured Literacy and save the lives of these kids! #1in5 #saydyslexia #dyslexiaawarenessmonth #dyslexiaawareness #readingfailure #structuredliteracy #ortongillingham
