Tea Smoothies + Recovery Nutrition Workshop

On April 17, 2013 / Recipes / Leave a comment

Lets start with the workshop… I will be holding a sport nutrition talk in Victoria, BC on Monday, April 22nd, 7:30-8:30pm. The topic is recovery nutrition. Every athlete knows how important recovery is. But there is so much information out there, which can be confusing, not to mention inaccurate. This talk will cover basic recovery nutrition strategies as well as more complex strategies based on recent studies to promote recovery while creating the appropriate stimulus to help with training adaptation and performance. The interactive format will allow each participant to gain knowledge and tools to design their own personal recovery

It has been well over a month since the last time I baked anything. Life has been crazy getting ready to move to Vancouver, catching up on a few projects (still working on that part) and working a lot. Although the last few weeks have been busy, I love my work and I have been enjoying my work load. I just had to adjust a bit and get more organized! My last day in Victoria (at least on a full time basis) will be April 26th. If you need to see me for a bike fit or meet for nutrition

Other than the ISAK course, everything was unexpected and things gained a lot of momentum, fast. It was interesting

I made this Pad Thai a while ago, but completely forgot I had taken some pictures and written down the recipe… My normal cooking method is throw a bunch of stuff in a pot/pan/in a bowl, add a pinch of this and a bit of that and see what happens. I usually don’t write down recipes unless I intend on posting them here or they are for the cookbook. Going through my notes while working on the cookbook recipes today, I realized I should have posted this recipe months ago! Pad Thai is my favorite Thai food dish, but I

Chocolate Orange Pudding

Going through my emails this morning, I deleted some, replied to others, and filed a few under ‘to read later’. One of those ‘to read later’ emails was today’s recipe on 101 Cookbooks for chocolate pudding. I finally read the post in the late afternoon, before heading to the pool for coaching & I just had to stop at the grocery store on my way home to get some dark chocolate and make some pudding. We all need a little treat every now and then, right? It took no time to make and the hardest part was having to wait
