1 ½ teaspoons sea salt

Just mix everything together and grill or cook in a cast iron skillet. Serve with home made sweet potato chips or wedges
Prep time = 15 min
Cook time = 20 min

Move Better:
One of my favorite workout formats is 10-1. Check it out below and see what you think!
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 repetitions of 2-3 exercises with minimal rest.
For example, let's say you choose push ups and lunges. You'd perform 10 push ups, 10 lunges, then 9 push ups, 9 lunges, then 8 push ups, 8 lunges...until you get to 1.
Try it today and see if you agree that by going down a rep each round it helps you mentally and physically push hard to the end!
Amy's Corner:
Although we may not always realize it, we pay extra for convenience all the time. Have you ever purchase pre-cut fruit? How about sat through the car wash rather than washed the car at home? Eating out vs. eating in? Buying coffee rather than making it?
Workouts are the same. Most people want quick and convenient. If I can give them a 20 minute workout as opposed to 3 hours they are happy campers...until they realize there is a cost to that convenience. If your workout lasts less than 30 minutes your intensity HAS to be high for it to be effective. Essentially you are replacing a much longer workout but expecting the same results...which means get uncomfortable and stay uncomfortable until you're done!
The workout I posted above is a great example. That workout won't take you over 30 minutes. The "minimal rest" comment is to point out the level of intensity should be high. If you're spending more time resting than working out, chances are, you can push harder.
Of course high intensity exercise should be modified for beginners and under supervision of a trainer with medical approval if necessary. Know your body, know your limits.
Now go get it! :)
