Recovery Meals Blog Carnival – Cook Train Eat Race

If you miss the 30 minute to 1 hour recovery time frame you may have missed the exit to proper recovery.

Recovery meals are probably my favorite meal to make and consume, ok inhale.  I love the recovery meal because it provides you something to look forward to and for me it is usually composed of breakfast foods, which usually means waffles.  Not that there is anything wrong with waffles as I am on a 4 day waffle streak right now but variety is the spice of life and there are plenty of other endurance foodies out there that don’t eat waffles and I wanted to see what they eat when they are done with a long ride or run.

The concept of a recovery meals blog carnival got started and so I reached out to a few of the endurance foodies that I know from this blog and Twitter.  Let me explain what a blog carnival is since I have already filled you in on why recovery meals was the choice for this round.  A blog carnival is a way to get other bloggers involved with a concept to bring you the reader to new blogs and various ideas.  In this case the idea(s) is for recovery meals and should this go well we are looking to add more bloggers as well as choose different topics like a specific cuisine or a particular meal.  Each day for the next week there will be 5 recovery meals from 5 different bloggers and the links to those recovery meals posts will be at the bottom of each of the blogs.  I will have the list of blogs for you at the end.

I originally had my mind set on providing you with the recipe to these Chocolate Orange Waffles but during the lead up to this post my brain started firing and the concept of corn tortilla french toast was born but would that be enough food since I was going on a 5 hour ride with a 30 minute run.  Of course it would not be so I added in omelette and then the ‘icing’ on the cake or on this case corn tortilla french toast was an avocado salad.  This was going to be a recovery meal for the ages, or at least I hoped.  Well since I am providing you this recipe hope turned to reality.
