Over the last few weeks, I’ve posted a few of the recipes I’ve learned to make over on my YouTube channel. I’m lucky enough to have several Japanese friends who have taught me their favorite Japanese recipes over the years.

These two recipes are some of my favorites to cook up on the weekend. You can put Paleo chermoula and ladolemono on virtually anything to add a little flavor and keep your meals interesting. The herbs in each are super healthy for you too! Chermoula contains cilantro and parsley and comes from North Africa (Morocco specifically). Ladolemono is a Greek sauce featuring oregano. Both are excellent on fish, grilled meats, and even grilled veggies or salads.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can pick up a smoked turkey leg already cooked and ready to go from most grocery stores like Spouts. Just cut the meat off the bone, cook the turkey with some seasonings, oil, and kale, you’ve got a delicious quick shot meal that also helps you meet your fitness goals.

Salsa chimichurri is a condiment used in Argentina to flavor grilled meats. A healthy spoonful of this herb-based sauce will brighten up anything from meat to vegetables. I like to make mine with cilantro for added flavor. If you’re short for time during the week, one of the best ways to still get healthy food on the table is to prep some Paleo recipes like this salsa chimichurri over the weekend. I like to grill up enough lean meat for most of the week. Then I will whip up a few sauces like this one.
