Run Recovery and CEimB Stir Fried Bok Choy with Tofu or Pork

A week or two before running the Boilermaker, I was getting tired. Call that BURNOUT. There were few days that I was enthusiastic about getting out of bed for a run. I made myself a promise that after the Boilermaker I would take a three day break from running. Two of those days I was successful. By the third day, my head wanted to run, my legs wanted to go back to bed. Monday after the race, I got up to work with weights and rode the bike with Ted for 10 miles in 35 minutes. That was a good [...]

CEimB Haddock Pepian

This week, Bri of Yoshimi vs. Motherhood chose a wonderful dinner which should have used chicken as the protein but, well, you know how that goes with this Pescetarian. Serving 2 3 fresh tomatillos The tomatillo fruit is surrounded by an inedible, paper-like husk formed from the calyx. As the fruit matures, it fills the husk and can split it open by harvest. The husk turns brown, and the fruit can be any of a number of colors when ripe, including yellow, red, green, or even purple. Tomatillos are the key ingredient in fresh and cooked Latin American green sauces. [...]

CEimB Tuscan Roasted Vegetables

ROAD TRIP to get ice cream. All three of us wanted ice cream so we hit the toad to Tasty Treat on Coventry Ave. in Utica. I noticed the ad in the newspaper the other day for Tasty Treats boasting that they serve Doggy Sundaes. PERFECT! Shane was so excited! Even though too much of it isn’t good for him (he’s a bit “lactose intolerant”), he is allowed to indulge once in a while. Soft serve vanilla with a little whipped cream and two doggy bones. It was the perfect size! In case you’re wondering, I couldn’t resist either and [...]

CNY Tri Club Practice and CEimB Raisin Toast with Honey Walnut Spread

Before getting into the Ellie Krieger recipe of the week, I’ll tell you about the workouts this week that have been different from my usual routine. It’s good to get out of a comfort zone, right? No matter how difficult or intimidating it is. Monday: This was routine. Cross Train with the elliptical for 30 minutes. Weight train chest & arms for 25 minutes. Easy run with Shane for just under 4 1/2 miles. Typical. Tuesday: This was a bit different. I ran on the treadmill for speed work, 6 miles. Worked my legs and stomach in the weight room. [...]

CEimB Apple Pecan Muffins

This week’s Craving Ellie recipe was my pick. I was in the mood for something to do with Apples. Surprised? On page 22 of the Ellie Krieger’s cookbook “The Food You Crave”, there is a delightful and guilt-free muffin recipe. They are are moist, tender with just the right hint of sweetness. We all know Ellie’s recipes always turn out good so I decided to switch it up a bit and do my own recipe. The reason for my changes: I always like to reduce sugar in a recipe. Just …. because. I reduced the apple sauce because I used [...]

CEimB Lemon Ginger Iced Tea with Berry Cubes

Who doesn’t love a refreshing glass of iced tea when the summer heat is making our body temperatures rise? Ellie came up with a recipe that beats the heat, refreshes, and makes you feel good inside. It’s not too sweet (but of course I didn’t add the amount of honey recommended in the recipe), but it is lemony, cold, and the berry cubes are so much fun to eat. The recipe was chosen by Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet. Makes 6 glasses of iced tea 1 cup of fresh raspberries (rinse to clean) Ice cube trays 8 cups water [...]
