Weekend Food Prep–Tabbouleh Mason Jar Salad

Tabbouleh makes a pretty good cold-season salad. Fresh parsley and cucumbers aren’t lower quality in the winter. I use grape tomatoes for more flavor and to ensure nicer quality, as chopped fresh tomatoes can get mushy over the course of the week, but if you’re making this for a summer lunch with several people, feelContinue reading “Weekend Food Prep–Tabbouleh Mason Jar Salad”

“You’re not a recluse,” Future of Fitness Podcast, Tony Gentilcore–Coaching for Introverts & Prepping for Life’s Dumpster Fires

I identify as an introvert, but most folks who interact with me wouldn’t know it. One of my closest and dearest friends once told me I was the “most extroverted introvert” she knew. I’m bubbly and energetic with others. I can be loud, over-the-top and silly. AND at the end of the day, I preferContinue reading ““You’re not a recluse,” Future of Fitness Podcast, Tony Gentilcore–Coaching for Introverts & Prepping for Life’s Dumpster Fires”

Weekend Food Prep–Pureed Ginger Vegetable Soup

This is a lovely, warming soup. It is also a great way to get some easily-digested vegetables when you’re feeling a bit off. I like it after a hard run when my stomach can be a bit tender. You can make it a complete meal by adding some shredded chicken or a heavy dollop ofContinue reading “Weekend Food Prep–Pureed Ginger Vegetable Soup”

When I’m workingContinue reading “What I Want Personal Trainers to Understand About Working With the Chronically Ill”

Are Folks Choosing Between Eating to Get Swole and to Save the Planet?

I became a vegetarian when I was 15 years old after my biology teacher explained the caloric energy inefficiencies of a meat-based diet. Each step up the food chain costs energy, and more people would have access to more food with less environmental cost if more of us ate lower on the food chain. TheContinue reading “Are Folks Choosing Between Eating to Get Swole and to Save the Planet?”
