Grilled Salmon with Sweet Corn and Plum Tomato Salsa, Sweet Potato Wedges, and Green Pepper Vinaigrette

It’s hard to believe we’re in Utica with the forecast predicting so many days of sun.  I don’t know how the folks around here are going to deal with it?  All that vitamin D, all that happiness, it’s going to ruin our upstate reputation!  Recipe time… Eat Fish. Feel Good (not grumpy). Let’s face it, when you eat a lot of fish like Ted and I do, the quick way to prepare it gets old. Guess that’s the way it is with any food you eat on a regular basis.  Even though you enjoy it, you eventually want something different.  [...]

Catfish Enchiladas with Creamy Arlo Dofino Havarti

So far, the weather in Boston looks Purrrr-fect! It’s a good thing as well since I’m expecting this year I’ll be out on the course a little bit longer. This morning, I took my foot for a solo run, meaning no Zoey, no Shane. It didn’t feel that great.  When I pushed the pace a little, my calf started feeling funny and my leg went weak.  Now I’m in a conundrum as to which shoes to wear.  A.  Performance running shoe which the podiatrist put inserts in or  B.  More of a shoe which doesn’t have the inserts but has [...]

Hurry Up Summer! Make Vegetable Ceviche

Dean Karnazes:  “Some seek the comfort of their therapist’s office, other’s head to the corner pub and dive into a pint, but I chose running as my therapy.” Here in upstate New York, we are still waking up to single digit temperatures.  Hard to believe.  Even though the snow is piled up in our driveway, the weather man insists we are short from the average range.  Enough is enough. I’m going to create the feeling of warmer weather by tapping into a summer recipe.  Please don’t judge me since I’m using non-seasonal ingredients but that won’t make this dish any [...]

A Culinary Review Recipe for Mushroom Potato Lasagna

“Nothing is impossible.  The word itself says “I’m possible”! – A.Hepburn” Burnout has raised it’s ugly head. I flew back from S.C. on Monday to face more cold weather in New York.  Thinking positive, I set my alarm for an early morning mid range, speed workout.  Got out of bed faithfully, dressed, looked at myself AND the temperature and asked “Why?” There was no good answer so I took off my clothes and went back to bed for an hour and a half.  The result was that miserable, grumpy, “I let myself down” feeling all day.  HOWEVER…the sun was shining [...]

A Cold Day in … Slow Cook Salmon with Chickpeas and Greens

The temperatures will be challenging for Saturday's Heart Run and Walk. Starting at a mere -5 degrees F (can you say "Brrrrr!") and rising to a whopping 30 degrees (a heat wave!). Since I know we run slower in the cold, just as in extreme heat, I wondered HOW MUCH slower. Here is the information found on LIVESTRONG. Overall Effects Both heat and cold can affect your running times, with a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit being optimal, Coach Tom Schwarz states. The lower the temperature, the greater the effect. According to a formula Schwarz devised, you can expect a [...]

Watching, Baking and Butternut & Herb Pasta

It was NYC Marathon Sunday. This year, I was watching from the kitchen, on my computer while baking chocolate chip cookies. Next year, I hope to be running I did have my own enjoyable run today, the longest since my last marathon October 20th.  The body is slow recovering this time around.  7.77 miles today in 1 hr. 12 minutes.  The hamstring didn’t complain until going into that last mile.  Luckily at that point, I was with Shane and able to take it slow. I don’t know whether it’s less running or watching everyone run the ING NYC Marathon but [...]
