FOFF Taco Salad

On page 28 of the book Fusion of Food and Friends by chef Carla Vavala, there is a recipe for a terrific brunch salad or dinner salad. It’s a little spicy, “meaty”, cheesy and filled with crisp Romaine lettuce. A good source of vegetables plus protein (either vegetarian or carnivore). The best part, as always, is that it’s quick and easy. Serves 4 1 lb. ground turkey (or used LiteLife vegetarian crumbles) 1 envelope Reduced Sodium taco seasoning 1 head of Romaine lettuce, chopped (To add more variety, use a packaged mixed greens salad mix) 2 tomatoes sliced 1 cucumber [...]

Exercise after 4pm and Warm Crab Vegetable Salad with Peas

I left work a little before 4pm to start my P90X workout, yesterday 1. The idea of working out in the afternoon/early evening is not appealing to me AT ALL. But I did it. An hour and 20 minutes of P90X Chest and Back plus the AB Ripper. It was tough. It was something new for my body. Did I like it? Well….like I said, it was different. But I intend to stick with it for 90 days then go back to my other routine. My muscles aren’t benefitting from my old workout any more. They need waking up with [...]

23 Glorious Miles and Millet Salad

I wore the top and skort that is the outfit for my marathon. I wore the pace band around my lower arm to protect against the chafe that the phone sleeve gives me. I wore my Newtons and my Injinji socks. I had the running fuel which I planned to use for the marathon. Banana, Gu Shot, Clif Shot, Sports [...]

The After Bloat

Began the day with a full stomach so I made use of it and did 35 minutes of mixed aerobics and a quick shoulder workout. Shane and I went for a walk then we played a little frisbee in the track field. Back track a bit... why I have a full stomach is because at about 7:30 PM I had a snack attack. Instead of picking here and there, I decided to make a healthy salad. Healthy in portion size and ingredients. 1 1/2 cups mixed salad greens. 1/4 cup black eyed peas 1 oz feta cheese [...]
