Today is fitness outside the box. Grab you gal pal and buy a fitness groupon and try something different like indoor surfing, crossfit or a boot camp class.

Today I’m posting a basic grocery store shopping list and a clean dinner recipe.

Salmon Scaloppini with Almond Orzo

The almonds add a sweet nuttiness to the orzo while the capers and lemon give a tangy punch to the simple skillet-cooked salmon. It’s a complete meal with fiber, protein, and vitamin E.
