Back To The Grind

The good news is - I LIKE the grind!  It's been great getting back to my Pittsburgh routine (especially because Roxy and Oscar are involved in this routine!!) and getting back on my normal training routes.  Of course coming home also meant going back to work but I guess we can't have it all, all the time...  :)
I DID get a new cookbook.  Which then necessitated the purchase of a rice cooker and food processor...


While I was in Denver I got to try several of the recipes from this book - first at Melissa's house and then at Sonja's.  I mentioned the book to my mom and wouldn't you know, when I arrived home it was ready and waiting on our kitchen table!  Thanks Mom!  Tonight we put the book to work...



I can definitely recommend the orzo salad and date/almond rice cakes.  They are all great recipes with good, whole foods and if you don't already have the book you need it...STAT!

In other news, today I got another package from SOAS, because they are the best and they really take care of their people!  But seriously, beyond that, they make GREAT tri kits and gear that fits well, looks great and are designed specifically for women.  SOAS gear is not just men's gear made smaller for us girls!  SOAS really is made for US with US in mind!  Anyway, check it out for yourself!

The only real question left though is...do you think I can pull off the trucker hat look?  (please don't laugh too loudly at my expense...  ;)

I tilted it a bit to the side for you Sarah P...  :)

Have an awesome week everyone!  Train and live happily!  :)

    I read the book cover to cover the first day I got it, but I still haven't made too many recipes from it. I WAS inspired by the sweet potato waffles and quinoa breakfasts though. Yum!!!

    YUM - I LOVE that cookbook! I haven't tried the orzo salad yet, but I've done the majority of the dinner recipes. The bison sweet potato tacos are a huge hit; I've subbed in ground turkey, and that's good too. You OWN that hat, wear it :)!

    I just LOVE that cookbook and enjoyed making so many of those recipes. They are even easy to modify when you are missing an ingredient or two :)
