Fueling An Endurance Athlete Lifestyle With Whole Foods
Iron Chef, if you are not familiar with the show, is a cooking contest on The Food Network that started in Japan in 1993. At the time there were 4 Iron Chefs that specialized in Japanese, Chinese, French and Italian cuisine. These Iron Chefs would battle contestants who ‘dare’ challenge them in Kitchen Stadium.

Polenta lasagna was inspired by a post I saw on PBS Food and knew within moments that I had to make this. Polenta lasagna is quite a bit different than your typical lasagna in that there are no noodles or red gravy. The dish that I created was 100% vegan where as your typical lasagna [...]
Quinoa and tofu is not something I typically put together as it seems like protein overkill. There is 8g of protein per cup of quinoa while there is 10g of protein per 1/2 cup of tofu. 18g of protein in one meal would be nearly 35% of the average needs of a man and that [...]
Brownie Banana Ice Cream Waffle Sandwiches……let those 6 words roll around in your head and think about the possibilities of that brownie goodness matched with bananas and their sweetness. Seriously stop drooling and wipe the slobber off your keyboard and stick with me for a moment. As you may know I went on a 21 [...]
Roasted red pepper hummus is something that you see in the grocery store and then you read some of the labels and think to yourself why is that in there, why is that in there.

Fritters of the carrot variety came across in an email and I immediately put them into my menu planning. I had been seeing fritters for a while but decided that I didn’t have time to shred or would rather just eat a carrot than go through the entire process. One way or the other I [...]
Quinoa was one of the first foods I discovered when I decided to live a plant-based lifestyle. I had no clue what quinoa was but everything I read touted its terrific qualities. It was high in protein, it was tasty and it was easy to make. All of these items fell right into my wheelhouse [...]
Navy beans are not something I cook with frequently and since I am an honest blogger that word should be never. I picked up some dry navy beans a few months ago and used them when making a dish that included parsnips and mofongo thinking that I could make a black and white dish. When [...]
Mind games are going to happen when you race an Ironman and is, what I believe, to be the difference between people of similar ability. Your thought process is going to swing all over the place during an Ironman but playing mind games and controlling what you are thinking of will help you tremendously in [...]
