I saw a box of red quinoa at TJ’s the other day and had to give it a try! Isn’t TJ’s just the bomb? I’m so glad we have one fairly close to us. I always seem to find something new to try. Well, that’s how I am at most grocery stores, go in for one or two things and come out like a kid in a candy store. Chris says I am no longer allowed in Whole Foods, ha! I also made my usual walnut crusted chicken with the quinoa dish, but added another ingredient for some extra crunch and texture. You’ll see! [More Yum →]

This weekend is already flying by! It always goes by way too fast, especially when you’re trying to balance work and play 
How was your weekend? I had the wonderful opportunity to host a Buitoni Pasta Party for some of my friends Saturday evening, which included lots of good food, conversation and vino to wash it down. Join me for a tasty re-cap! [More Yum →]

Recovery Nutrition, or what you ingest after a hard workout, is a integral component to any training plan. This is the time when there is increased blood flow to your working muscles and post-exercise allows for rapid nutrient replacement. This is especially important for those training two times per day or teams with two stages or events in one day. Be assured that if you get the right mix of recovery nutrients that your body deserves, you’ll replace your glycogen stores, repair muscle tissue, and facilitate maximal training adaptation and advancement. You’ll be revving to go!

I wanted to dedicate this short post to highlight the Almond Breeze Taste and Make a Difference Program! As a Foodbuzz tastemaker I was chosen to feature a widget (on the right hand side) where you, my readers, have the option to make a difference by telling Almond Breeze how to divide $25K between five charitable organizations! Yes, that’s $25,000 DOLLARS!
As many of you know I recently completed my first century bike ride to benefit to LIVESTRONG which was an absolutely amazing experience. Because I have a strong passion for this great organization, I wanted to represent this charity in the challenge. I know Lance isn’t doing too hot in the Tour de France at the moment, and probably won’t win the Tour this year, but let’s send him off with a great donation for a great cause to help in the fight against cancer. Who’s with me???
All you have to do to help support LIVESTRONG is just one click on the right!
