SCAN & San Diego

Filed under: My Travels — Kristen :) @ 4:25 pm

I can’t believe I’m already back and how much I have to catch up on!  Forgive me for being so absent on your blogs lately, I’ve missed you guys! I drove back last night and tried to get things somewhat organized before work today, but I still have grocery shopping, cleaning, and mountains of laundry to do, ugh!

The SCAN Symposium was an absolute blast and I learned so much wonderful information (I need to go back over all my notes!), and met some amazing sports dietitians.  Going to this conference has made me realize what I want to pursue for the future and I really look forward to next year.   (more…)

pizza, pasta and puddin’

Oh boy, where did we leave off last? . . . oh yeah that’s right birthday cake, pasta, cupcakes, nutella waffles and  . . . oh my, and this post is continuing the streak of decadent eats.  I’m not going to say they are much ‘healthier’ since I used 1% fat milk and reduced fat such and such, but I will say these recipes are pretty darn good!   (more…)

birthday celebrations + dreaming of carbon

Filed under: Fitness/Health — Kristen :) @ 5:42 pm

Where did the weekend go?  I’m sorry I seem to ask this every weekend, but it’s true!  I’m sure you all feel the same trying to get every precious amount of ‘free’ time in to get everything somewhat caught up.

Well, this weekend was a ton of fun!  Here’s to a little re-cap, some good eats, fun times with friends + a nice long bike ride . . .   (more…)

fat loading for endurance athletes

Filed under: Sports Nutrition — Kristen :) @ 8:06 am

Happy Friday! I went to 6am spin this morning, and it was a super sweat fest!  I usually don’t have time to shower afterwards, so hopefully I won’t be too smelly 🙂

Let’s take a look at fat-loading for this Fuel Your Fitness topic . . .   (more…)

tired legs

Filed under: Dinner,Fitness/Health — Tags: , , — Kristen :) @ 7:51 pm

Happy Tuesday!  Boy these days and weeks are flying now and I can hardly believe Spring is coming!  Well, here in Vegas anyways.  We’ve had some days in the upper 60s and it’s supposed to be 77 F on Thursday?  I just hope we can have a little spring weather before it’s full-blown HOT Vegas summer.

This morning I honestly wasn’t feeling like riding into work.  I wasn’t sick or anything, I just felt ‘off’ and tired and knew it was going to be a battle to convince myself to just do it.  I finally (more…)

stuffed chicken + cute doggy

Filed under: Dinner — Tags: — Kristen :) @ 4:09 pm

This dish sure hit the spot Friday night, and it may look challenging, but it’s really not too bad.  I also had some local purple carrots and baby parsnips that needed to be cooked, as well as some cauliflower and fingerling potatoes.  I love dishes like this 🙂  There are also some more cute doggie pictures ahead!    (more…)

Filed under: Dinner,Fitness/Health — Tags: , — Kristen :) @ 7:28 am

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately!  This week started out kind of slow, and then BAM! it’s Friday already?  my goodness.  I didn’t have my computer with me last night since I rode into to work, so I didn’t get a chance to post.  It’s been a pretty good week and I’m so glad you guys enjoyed the doggie pictures!  I’ll have to include more of those 🙂  There’s nothing like cute pictures of doggies to brighten the day 🙂

Besides a re-cap of my ride and various eats, I will announce the cooking gadget winner too!  (more…)

what is maca?

Filed under: Sports Nutrition — Tags: — Kristen :) @ 5:24 am

I know we’ve all seen maca circulating in the blog world lately and I wanted to delve a little deeper into the research behind it and check it out for myself.

According to the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database maca is a plant that grows in central Peru in the high plateaus of the Andes mountains. It has been cultivated as a vegetable crop in Peru for at least 3000 years. Maca is a relative of the radish and its root is used to make medicine.   (more…)

giveaway time!

Filed under: Reviews — Kristen :) @ 8:06 am

I’m excited to announce another giveaway on eatingRD!  I was contacted by CSN stores and asked if I would like to review a product or do a giveaway.  I wanted to spread the love with a little giveaway and took it a step further by also letting you choose!  Yay!

*this giveaway is now closed, but check back for more!*

Perusing their ginormous site, which features thousands of cooking gadgets from over 200 stores, and even some pretty neat barstools, I was in sheer delight trying to make my decision.  It was tough, but I decided on 5 items that I think you guys will enjoy!  They even have several VitaMix babies, but that was a little high on the budget 🙂   (more…)
