Ingredients

1 rack baby lamb chops
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
2 tsp garlic minced
2 tbsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp dried thyme

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut rack of lamb in half so that there’s an equal number of lamb chops in each half. Sprinkle lamb chops with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, and dried spices. Place two haves of lamb rack into a large container and cover with oil and herb mixture. Use your hands to rub the mixture all around the lamb and then let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Heat an oven-proof skillet (If you don’t have an oven proof skillet, you can transfer the lamb to an oven-proof baking dish afterwards.) so it gets very hot.
Place the lamb in the heated skillet (it should already have the olive oil coated on it) and cook for 2 minutes on high heat, then turn and cook another two minutes.
Immediately transfer the skillet into the oven (or transfer the lamb into the oven-proof baking dish), and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Take the lamb out of the oven and tent with foil, allowing it to sit for 10 minutes. A thermometer should read 125-130 degrees internally in the lamb for medium-rare meat. After 10 minutes, transfer the lamb to a cutting board, slice the individual lamb chops and serve immediately.

This month I would like to share two separate articles I came across, both focused on brain health, albeit different aspects of it. First, the Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to study the impact of socialization on our brains. Humans are, by nature, a social species. According to a meta-analytic...

Testimonials

Lisa’s weight loss plan really gave me a new insight to healthy eating and living. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2015. Healthy living/easting/exercise has become very important to me and my family and this program really helped me get even more on the course with this and helped me lose weight.

When I heard about the 10 Day Weight Loss Challenge, I wasn’t sure if it would be a good fit, since as a physician, I understand nutrition and health (and therefore knew the dangers of fad diets, etc…), and I do my best to exercise (though not always enough). But as a single mother of 2, it’s still very challenging ti “fit in all in” (including cooking healthy meals for my children) due to my busy schedule. And when my time is short, bad habits crop up and weight gain follows.

Lisa has made an enormous contribution to my health and strength. I have seen and felt the most fantastic changes in an amazingly short time.

I just wanted to say you were amazing through this 10 day process! I learned so much from you! You were very thorough in all areas of the challenge and got back to us in such a quick manner with our questions. It was a great jump start into a more healthy life style that’s for sure!

Colby E, Boulder, Colorado

I LOVE the recipes, simple, few ingredients, appealing. I like the idea of using the list of staples you provided when i was tempted to cheat!

Phyliss S, Spring House, PA

I worked with Lisa to develop a holistic wellness plan that has allowed personal growth without having to completely change my lifestyle. Her programs are designed around your personal needs, so I always feel like I've gotten the most from my sessions and leave with manageable goals. Lisa's three-prong approach to wellness (fitness, nutrition and health) is helping me live a balanced and grateful life.

Ali S., Boulder, CO

I’ve been through the ringer with different dieting plans through the years. Some helped me lose weight and some didn’t – but it didn’t matter because I would always gain it back. I didn’t know if this 10 day Weight Loss Challenge would be the answer since everyone says they have the “BEST” way to lose weight. But this one seemed to be more doable – like instead of starving myself, keeping track of calories (“been there done that – VERY annoying!”) and things I know I wouldn’t stick to.

Jill W, Park, NY

Lisa, you have been a very positive role model for me! Through the exercise and diet I’m becoming healthy and more positive about my life!!! Thanks!
