Stupid-Easy Pecan-Crusted Salmon.

I’m not a huge fan of cooked salmon.  Raw?  Yes.  Give it to me raw all day long, baby.  Cooked is a different story.
This has partially to do with my stint as a line worker in a fish-processing plant at the age of 17. That’s a story for another time, because this particular blog entry […]

Homemade Pizza Night: Bigtime Italian Fun on a Budget

My life is dominated by Sicilians (don’t call them Italians, dude). Sal and I lived with his parents and sister for two years in San Jose, California and if you think living with your parents sounds like a nightmare, think again. Those Sicilians know how to party.
Besides guzzling his father’s homemade hooch, singing along […]

Cheap Chicken, Short Track, and Chili Tacos

Cheap Chicken
I’ve been exercising my super-thrifty muscles lately, trying to scrape together the funds for my new superlight ‘cross bike.  After last night’s short track race, I’m not even sure why I’m bothering, but that’s another story.

Eat your heart out, ErikV.  I have improved upon the double chocolate pecan protein shake… some thought it was not possible.

No Really, Get Your Iron Checked.

I’ll admit it.  I was mega-skeptical about this whole iron thing when it came up.  It’s one of those things where one person tells you about something and then you start hearing it all over.
The iron buzz!!  Get your iron checked!  Everyone is doing it!
It all started last year when I met HG during ‘cross.  […]

Ten Rules for Good Nutrition from Berardi

Dude.
Sal and I collaborated last night to make a bomb-shizilly good dessert.  There are pictures and everything!  But, wouldn’t you know it, my accountant is beating down my door for Q4 paperwork.  While I go deal with grumpy Mr. Moneypants, I thought I’d post John Berardi’s article, "Changing the Rules of Good Nutrition" for you […]

Double Chocolate Pecan Shake (Yes, I swear it’s good for you.)

Sal has a hardcore sweet tooth.
Protein shakes have come a long way and, in general, they taste pretty good when made with dairy or soy milk - especially Jay Robb.  My sister especially loves BSN Chocolate Fudge flavor.
However, even chocolatey protein shakes are sometimes not enough to satisfy my sweets-craving boyfriend.  But I finally figured […]

Hey! I found the proof! It was in the pudding! (P90X Progress Update)

If there’s one thing I know for sure, I am a big old sucker for data.
Why?
Tracking achievement in quantifiable terms is ridiculously motivating.
Today, at my second body composition test, the numbers gave me valuable data for moving forward - and provided a huge motivational boost.

Surviving my Business Trip: My Nutrition Emergency Kit

If there is one thing that will make the difference between your success and failure when you start any kind of program, it is planning.
Planning, planning, and more planning.  Plan for absolutely everything possible, and then be smart when you encounter something for which you could not have planned.
I had a big meeting in Seattle […]
