Running and Races and Broiled Cod with Fulton Fish Market Glaze

Sometimes the title for a blog post simply happens without much thought then there are those times that nothing sounds right. Today’s post was one of those writes, re-writes, and re-write again. Nothing worked so I gave up and just went with what it was. No over thinking it…or did I?! This week has been a week of over thinking and under performing. It happens. We get over it. My mojo for running went out the window this week, hence “under performing”. I took several days off and didn’t feel an ounce of regret. Probably not the week to suffer [...]

School of Fish Tuna 101 with Sunflower Seeds, Lemon and Chives

After visiting several different weather sites in hopes of finding one, just ONE, that offered a ray of hope for a warmer tomorrow in upstate New York, I finally accept defeat. It’s not so much the 2 degrees, it’s the “Feels Like –16” that’s really getting to me. Of course the treadmill will be turning and my legs will be flying along on that “hamster wheel” but not before Shane and Zoey have to go out for their morning constitution. Oh the thought! It’s going to keep me up all night. On a warmer note, let’s talk recipes! One of [...]

School of Fish: Dover Sole with Marsala Sauce

Along with trying to keep fit in this frigid wintery weather, we have been eating healthy …again. The holidays are over, the cookies gone, candy canes put away (although when I crave sweets, my go to candy is peppermint) and the focus is on fruits (fresh and dried-no sugar added) to satisfy the sweet tooth. To keep the heart pumping and metabolism burning, Ted’s taken to doing some vigorous cycling workouts using a DVD. As for me, my running hasn’t been vigorous since the aching knee keeps my speed in check. The goal, as I said before, is simply to [...]

School of Fish: Brown Rice Risotto with Crab, Pistachios and Orange

After running on the weekend, maybe some would rest and allow their legs and feet to relax. Not in our house. We don’t have kids, only our two dogs, but we seem to always be on the go. One favorite hobby to occupy my time is baking and creating in the kitchen. So I get back from a run, put on some comfy shoes (or go barefoot if I haven’t run too many miles) and start creating. Baking sweet treats for Ted and myself is fun, but we can only eat so many and when the freezer is full, I’ll [...]

School of Fish and After the NYC Marathon 2014

It wasn’t long once we were back in the hotel room after running the TCSNYCMarathon that I received a message from my nephew. He and his girl friend were in the City and waiting to meet us. Now trying to clean up quickly and refresh, getting ready to go out “on the town” walking mind you, after traversing 26.2 miles on hard pavement is somewhat of a task. We did it anyway since I love my nephew, Sam. His girlfriend Megan is pretty darned special as well. We met at Hudson Place Restaurant. Sam, Megan and Ted enjoyed fresh blue [...]

Asian Inspired Grilled Tuna with Fresh Watermelon over Field Greens

A few things to catch you up on my life before getting to the recipe. Bet you can’t wait! First, we just returned from an exciting (in more ways than one, good and bad) trip to South Carolina. We stayed with Mom and Dad and spent a day and a half with Pam and Heman to celebrate Pam’s birthday. Pam is a Health Counselor for clean and healthy living. Check her out HERE! We took the dogs and enjoyed, unfortunately, only one hour at the beach. We were busy the entire trip and before we knew it, had to eek [...]
