Hi everyone!! Just a quick catch up on what I’m up to, plus I share a new discovery for an absolutely FANTASTIC oatmeal recipe (and I know how much you guys have loved my oatmeal recipes in the past, so just WAIT til you try THIS one!! mm mm MMMMM!!). Its chock full of protein and is great for post-workout, pre-workout, breakfast, dinner, whenever!!! Any time is a good time for oatmeal!!

Enjoy:

So, here’s the recipe again (courtesy of my fabulous beach pal and fellow fitness fanatic Rod):

Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Equal Parts (ie, 1 cup/1 cup/1 cup):
Regular (preferably organic) Raw Rolled Oats (oatmeal)
Non Fat Cottage Cheese
Eggs (or Egg whites, but why chuck out all the nutrition, I say), preferably Free Range, Organic

Plop the whole mess into a blender. Blend for about a minute, enough to grind up the oatmeal… this will make a pasty mixture… sounds delicious so far huh? LOL

Cook ‘em just like regular pancakes: heat the griddle, pour some mixture in the pan, wait til it looks dry around the edges and is showing bubbles/air pockets in the middle, flip. Simple Simon!!

According to Rod, it goes great with butter (do yourself a favour and try to find some of the raw milk variety) and Maple Syrup (prefereably organic, right? seeing a theme or pattern here yet? ha ha), but I know that they also go great with just organic honey or your favourite All-Fruit Spread (mine is raspberry).

I haven’t tried THIS yet but it just occurred to me that you could probably even add banana chunks or blueberries to the mixture before you cook it, too (after the blending, I mean)!! mmmmm…. that’s what I’ll try next!!! Can’t wait!

Okay, so the recipe above I discovered from Rod, but I’ve also got another HUGE, fantastic resource with LOTS of great nutrition information right down the same alley…

Hey everyone! I’m trying something new with my diet these days. Just a little experiment based on some ideas I’ve gotten from a new eBook I’m reading: Eat Stop Eat by Brad Pilon.

I also share one more oatmeal recipe with you today. I love oatmeal, can you tell?

His trademarked Eat Stop Eat program has been featured all over the Internet and been seen on national television, and has helped thousands of men and women around the world lose fat, gain muscle, and heal their relationship with food.

Hey everyone!! How’s everyone’s week coming along?? I continue to be losing my mind (how is there never enough time in any given day?) but managed to get my workout in today anyway, sleep deprivation and all! Yes, my insomnia has returned. Oh well, I just power through it these days. Anyway, Tom Venuto and the awesome advice and principles he talks about in his book “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” came to mind again as I was sweating it out thinking about what I’m going to have for my post-workout meal. Tom is one of those guys that believes in HARD WORK and eating good nutrient-dense food as your ticket to true fitness, and he’s got the body to back it up (click the link at the bottom of the page if you don’t believe me).

I also share another recipe that I invented. I always get weird comments back when I post one of my weird oatmeal combinations but I swear!! Its tasty!! REALLY!!! :-) .. and its super healthy too, and full of protein to boot!!

I also share a little tip about how to get a complete protein into your meals if you aren’t eating any animal products in any given meal and without touching the evils of soy!!!!

Check it out!!

Hey everyone!! How’s everyone’s week coming along?? I’m still doing my headless chicken routine, but managed to get some hillsprints in today and that got me thinking more about interval training and Tom Venuto and the awesome advice and principles he talks about in his book “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle”. Tom is one of those guys that believes in HARD WORK over starving yourself in order to lose fat.

I also share a recipe that I invented. When I first published this recipe on Twitter, I got a few incredulous responses asking if it actually tastes any good. Well, YES, it does and if you don’t believe me, ask one of my converts!! My friend over on www.thefightgeek.org didn’t believe me, tried it anyway and now eats it regularly! Its a super good, nutrient-rich combination for pre or post workout with lots of protein!!

And finally, are brown eggs more nutritious than white eggs?? I answer this question too!
