My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Shrimp in a Pouch
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 12 min
Ingredients:
- 1 ⅓ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 lemons, sliced
- 4 cups green beans, trimmed
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ basil, chopped fine

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lay out a piece of parchment paper or foil large enough to fold over the ingredients and crimp shut.

Repeat with remaining shrimp and veggies. Fold the parchment or foil over and crimp the sides to make a pouch. Place pouches on a sheet pan, put in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Unwrap the pouches and sprinkle with basil. Serve with brown rice.
