Welcome back to Emily’s Life Plan for the Week, a weekly newsletter where I share my personal notes and recap every little detail from my previous week’s videos (follow me on tiktok, instagram, youtube, and twitter @emilymariko)!
You can expect a new email in your inbox every Sunday at 6am PST! Headers link to the corresponding TikTok video, and anything else underlined is also a link. If you’re looking for something in particular, chances are it will be all the way at the bottom in the FAQ section!
Lemon garlic mahi mahi
Roast purple japanese sweet potatoes at 425 for 1 hr. Mince garlic and place in small bowl with lemon juice, lemon slices, chopped cilantro and butter. Pat dry the mahi mahi and sprinkle with salt. Steam green beans and set aside. Cook mahi mahi in a large pan on medium high heat, about 4 mins per side. Remove from pan, lower the heat, then add the garlic butter sauce. Once melted turn off the heat. Serve with the green beans, sweet potato, and garlic lemon butter on top!
Fresh veggie quinoa salad
Rinse quinoa and cook in a rice cooker, using the same water ratio stated on the packaging. Finely chop cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and add everything to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl squeeze two lemons and mix with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, and honey. Pour dressing over the veggies. When the quinoa is done cooking, cool in the fridge uncovered for 10 mins. Mix together with the veggies!
Grilled swordfish and leftovers
Marinate swordfish in salt, avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic, and cilantro. Cut tomato and peaches into thick slices. Grill the swordfish for 4 mins per side, and the tomatoes and peaches for a little less. I ate this with the leftover quinoa salad and green beans!
Bridesmaids boxes
In August I prepared my bridesmaids proposal boxes, filling them with my favorite things. Here’s what I included in each box!
Lululemon belt bag
Bridesmaids boxes were awesome 😀
