Spinach again?

May 23, 2010

I love vegetables. I really do. I often find myself trying to sneak them into everything, including my smoothies, but that’s another story. I wanted pasta, but I can’t really eat just pasta. The more protein I can add, the better. Spinach is a wonderful veggie to add to pasta. It wilts down to nothing, [...]

Baking Bread—the cheating way

May 22, 2010

So maybe I used a pre-mixed bread mix. BUT, I did have to mix it all up and follow a bunch of directions. I was excited to try out Lola (mixer) again since it’s been a while. I also had a new bread loaf pan that needed a test drive. …

Boot Camp Graduation!!

May 21, 2010

I made it through! Four weeks of getting up at 4:30, surviving INTENSE hour long workouts, gym showers, and some great results. I can do boy push-ups now. I actually have a mini V-taper going on. My arms are still not where I want them to be and neither is my butt. But, I’m down [...]

For the past few months, I’ve been putting in the long weekend runs, some mediocre weekly runs, and participating in boot camp [...]

All proteins are not created equal

May 12, 2010

Ever hear of “complete protein” foods? If a food is considered to be a complete protein, they contain all the essential amino acids in enough amounts for human use. Most animal proteins are considered complete, such as eggs, milk, meat, fish, and poultry. Plant proteins are mostly incomplete. This means the offer plenty of other [...]

Planning for the week

May 9, 2010

If I don’t spend a little extra time on the weekend planning meals and cooking ahead, I’m just setting myself up for failure. I’ve tried to put it off and just grab and go here and there and it’s just a big ol’ mess. I HAVE to have food ready, food planned, and easy access [...]
