Foodie Friday: Chicken Sausage, Roasted Veggie & Harvest Blend Bowl

Hello and Happy Day to You!

I have a yummy carb-fueled, healthy dish for you today.

It can be custom made according to your preferences… WHAAAAAT!!!!!???!!!!!!!

It’s pretty simple actually, but is absolutely delicious.

I made it over the 4th of July weekend and forgot to share it… so here you go!

Ingredients

• Chicken Sausage (I used al fresco Sweet & Spicy BBQ Chicken Sausage)
• A bag of your favorite grain (I used TJ’s Harvest Grain Blend)
• Your favorite veggies (I used red, orange & yellow bell peppers and zucchini)
• 1 onion
• 1 or 2 avocados
• Your favorite cheese (I used TJs Fat Free Feta)

I think I can, I think I can…

Hello and Happy day to you!

As many of you know, I just (praise the Lord!) recovered from a minor hamstring injury that forced me to pull out of Rock n’ Roll San Diego.

Boo!

But! I am back running and haven’t had any problems with my hamstring since.

WOO WHOO!

I do, however, feel as though I have lost some fitness.

Or maybe it is in my head?

Who knows.

I am feeling a little off this week.

Things That (As A Runner) I Can’t Stand!

Hello and Happy day to you!

As a runner, there are certain things that really piss me off!

I am sure most people don’t understand, but maybe you (being a fellow runner) will agree with me…

1. When some moron sprints ahead and then stops in front of me in the middle of a race.

Pull your head out of your ass, man! I mean come on! It’s called peripheral vision, use it and check out your surroundings before you come to a complete freakin’ stop. I understand that you are tired, but really?

Foodie Friday: Amazing Grass Protein Superfood Chocolate Peanut Butter Recovery Shake and a Giveaway!

Hello and Happy day to you!

Here we are again…

Another Friday and another great recipe.

Let’s do this!

Sometimes (well, most of the time actually) after a long evening run, all I really feel like having is a protein shake.

The thought of sitting down to a full blown meal at 8 PM does not sound appealing.

That is where this delicious recipe comes into play!

Foodie Friday: Scallop & Spinach Salad

I love cooking dishes that incorporate “special” ingredients, and most of all, I love recipes that are quick and easy (who doesn’t?).   This salad was so good, and it was ready in just a matter of minutes!  You have to try this one.

Foodie Friday: Sweet Potato & Egg Breakfast Hash

This blog posting day is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I love cooking up delicious food, taking pictures of it and then sharing it with you all.

As runners, we know the food is fuel.

And, as they say…

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

And this meal is officially the greatest breakfast on the planet.

No joke man.

Complete with complex carbs, protein and the healthy fats that we need to power through our day.

 

Foodie Friday: Awesome Steak & Mushroom Pasta

Published courtesy of JulieCat in the Kitchen’s blog:

Monday was a long day this week, and I was seriously contemplating the option of ordering take-out after work (super greasy Chinese seemed like the perfect ending to a busy day).  However, a sudden burst of creativity and the need to unwind in front of the stove (cooking relaxes me, I know I’m weird) made me think otherwise.  I made this within a half hour and it was sooooo worth the extra effort:

Foodie Friday: The Oatmeal Edition

HOLLA!

Fridays!!!!

I love love love them.

I am going to “try” to start something new on Fridays and as you can tell from the title of this blog post, that new thing is Foodie Friday!

I don’t know if I can do it on a weekly basis, but I am sure going to try.

So “every” Friday, we are going to talk about something food related.

Runners LOVE food, so I know you are going to love it!

A new shirt and some dinnerrrrrrr!

Check out this adorable shirt that I got in the mail from Running Chics!

I stumbled on the Running Chics website a few weeks ago and  instantly began drooling.

Holy crap that website rocks.

T-shirts, hoodies, and dresses… OH MY!
