A Quiet Local Winter

Yesterday I attended a great set of presentations on social media strategies for the RD. I got thinking about this blog, and realized its focus has changed from September to present.
Then I realized why.
I started this blog to share my experiences with local foods. As 20" of snow blanket the ground outside and farmers markets are a memory of the past and a fantasy of the future, I haven't had as much to talk about on this front. It reminds me of the tone of Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal Vegetable Miracle during the cold winter months when the food situation sometimes seemed dire without a splash of fresh, homegrown tomato or the crunch of a freshly-picked cucumber. It also prompted me to take a deeper look at what I can do to support local foods in Massachusetts during the snowy, cold winter when not much is growing.
So how has my diet changed since I've not been getting a weekly box of fresh fruits and vegetables?
  • I focus on eating the bags and bags of vegetables I froze from my CSA. Just this weekend, I made a killer mushroom and kale quiche with leftover kale. I've been boiling frozen, cut beets on a regular basis. And staining the stove red every single time.
  • I focus on hearty, somewhat "seasonal" foods, even if they are not grown locally. I've been eating tons of citrus, pomegranates, and sweet potatoes. I still use local honey in my tea, locally-made tea, and local grains from the Pioneer Valley Heritage Grains grain CSA!
  • I experiment a lot with legumes. From simple rice & beans to lentil soup to lentil curry, I have the opportunity to explore these staples I don't get to as much during CSA season.
  • I spend more money at Trader Joe's.
  • I started to grow my own!
And I dream of spring.

March is National Nutrition Month! I have some fun posts in store...

Le Fashion and Funnies

Congrats to all of the winners and participants in the Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge. The 5 of us had a great time sharing this experience with you.
I've been a bit MIA from the blog world, as I'm going in a million directions. There are a few things I can't share with you just yet, but here are a few I can:
Marathon Update: If you follow my Twitter feed, you'll know I DNF'd on Sunday when I was supposed to run 19 miles, my longest run ever. For those of you who don't know, DNF stands for DID NOT FINISH. I have been "babying" (and by babying I mean running 30-mile weeks indoors) myself by running flats on the indoor treadmill in the warm workout room. No hills. No cold. No wind. Sure, I run Tuesdays with a friend outside, but I'm not pushing myself in the outdoor department on a daily basis. And April 19th weather could bring anything. Like the Girl Scouts say, Be Prepared. So, I had the bright idea Sunday to do a 10-mile portion outside, come indoors, and finish 9 on the treadmill. Nice compromise, eh? Here's how the inner mind conversation went for the first 58 minutes:
Minute #6: "It is REALLY windy and cold out today. Huh. Didn't expect it to be this bad. Well, I'm up by the golf course, and it's wide open, so I'm sure it won't be as windy on the flat low part in another mile."
Minute # 17: "Huh. Guess I was wrong. Well, when I get to the turn up here, the wind will be at my back and I'll warm up."
Minute #34: "Huh. Can't feel my cheeks. Wind is whipping my braids against my face and it kind of hurts."
Minute #48: "Okay, this is just ridiculous. The wind is getting worse!"
Minute #58: "No. More."
So, I took a detour, ended up at Tim's parents house begging to use the phone so I could be picked up. I headed home, banged out 4 on the treadmill and called it quits. Nineteen was not in the cards. Next week. (And yes, solo running leads to much self-conversation, a.k.a. "talking to oneself." Could be worse.)
I've also been busy planning a big fundraising event. As you may know, I'm training for the Boston Marathon and running for the Melanoma Foundation of New England's team, for which I am raising $$. Check out my fundraising page here. I've planned a Trivia Night in March. If you live in the Worcester area, or heck, the Boston area (and I'll even feed you) shoot me an email and I give you details.
Book Update
I finished McDougall's Born to Run this weekend. A MUST-READ for any runner or anyone who is thinking about becoming a runner. Total inspiration.
New York Fashion Week
I know a few of you have been waiting for a recap of my trip to NYC and my experience at 2010 Fashion Week. It was a blast! We attended the invitation-only J.Mendel Fall Collection showing on Thursday. Tim's bro is a designer and got us tickets for this exclusive showing. Here are the highlights:
  • We had a town car pick us up and deliver us to Bryant Park. When I got out of the car, I literally had papparazzi snapping up photos!
  • I got to wear a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I am also the proud new owner of a pair, too! I'm waiting until after the marathon, so if I fall off the 5 inch spikes, I won't ruin my chances of running.
  • The designs were absolutely beautiful. Alex, you did a great job!
  • Stood next to Brooke Shields. She is beautiful. Nice lashes. Very tall.
Check out this runway model! She looks more like a food blogger to me.
While in NYC, we sampled the local grub. Here are those highlights:
Turkish coffee from Istanbul Cafe.
Coffee from the Hot n' Crusty Bagel. (Not as bad as it sounds.)
Beautiful, yet undoubtedly not local pepper display.
A very authentic and indulgent post-fashion show Italian meal at Morandi.
And a very vegan burger at Five Napkin Burger.
On Friday night, Tim and I walked across Central Park to a place recommended by a dear friend for some vegan grub. The Candle Cafe was just what we needed: lots of vegetables and happy hippies surrounding us. Dinner went unpictured. You'll just have to visit it yourself next time you're in NYC!

So I know I have been inspired by the Olympics. Have you? Well, if you need a bit of inspiration and you want to laugh, you'll be amazed by the capacity of this 5-year old... check out this Herb Brooks Pre-Game Speech! GO USA!

Question of the Day: What's your favorite place in NYC to eat?

Thanks to all who participated in the Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge! I definitely have a whole slew of new recipes I’m going to be trying out!

Banana Flax Muffins

The Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge #4: Quinoa WINNER!

Guest by Corinne at Green Grapes Blog

WooT-WooT! Folks—we got a winner! A Ka-Ka-Ka QUINOA WINNER! And, that winner is Ms. Carolyn Goodwin!

In response to last week’s post on the many health benefits of quinoa and call to the new-ingredient-breakfast-eating challenge, we received many calls to action—calls to action-cooking quinoa that is! BUT, there could only be one winner to claim Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge victory! And that winner, determined by a random number generator, is Carolyn’s quinoa Breakfast

Carolyn, take it away…!!!

I love my quinoa breakfast, which I’ve been eating almost every day for about six months and still look forward to each morning. This makes a batch that’s enough for about a week. I usually eat it cold, sometimes I warm it up. I pour a little plain kefir over it, or milk is good, nut milks are tasty too. It’s just good food, any way you eat it. Besides the wonderful nutritional value of the quinoa, you get a healthy dose of nuts, fruit, cinnamon, and coconut oil. And the combination of the cinnamon and the coconut oil tastes fabulous.

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups quinoa
¾ cup raisins (or to taste)
¾ cup chopped cashews or pistachios (or to taste)
¾ cup diced apples (or to taste)
2 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)
1 to 2 Tb coconut oil
Procedure:
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly, and soak overnight in water with a little yogurt added if desired. Put the quinoa with water to cover (quantity of water is not important, since you’ll be draining it later) into a saucepan, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain any remaining water, and put the quinoa in a steamer (or just in a sieve over boiling water), steam for an additional 10 minutes. This method produces piles of fluffy quinoa, much better than just boiling in water. Put the warm quinoa in a bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and fluff with a fork. Can be enjoyed warm or cold, with milk, yogurt or kefir or all by itself.
Cheers!
Carolyn Goodwin
Again, CONGRATS Carolyn! Send your mailing address to TheSuperBreakfastBowlChallenge@gmail.com and you’ll be receiving some awesome lip-lickin’ goodies on behalf of Newman’s Own Organics—everything from dried fried to decadent delightful dark chocolate. And, YES this is a nutrition blog … BUT folks if ya don’t know by now, I fully support a daily treat! Come on now … I’m all about the 90:10 “rule”—90% lean, green, mean disease-fighting machine foods—fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins/legumes, healthy fats—and a daily indulgence! So … Carolyn enjoy!
Happy Healthifying!

the Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge #3: Lentil WINNER!

Guest Post from Janel at Eat Well With Janel

Welcome to the Lentil Day winner announcement for the Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge! We had so many tasty looking lentil submissions to choose from. You guys really are creative using little legumes in your morning meal! I'm glad I cooked up and froze a big batch of lentils weeks ago so I have plenty to use in all of these new recipes. They all looked so tasty I had to leave it up to the random number generator to choose and the lentil winner is....Julie from The Doctors Rheum! I never would have thought to combine pear and lentils but love this Pear Lentil Patty recipe.


Pear-Lentil Patties

This was a total experiment based on what I had in the house!

Cook 1/2 cup lentils in 1 cup water until soft.

Caramelize 1/2 a sweet yellow onion in EVOO with a dash of cumin and a dash of cinnamon.

Chop a ripe pear.

Combine all ingredients in a food processor pulsing several times until just combined.

Shape into patties and cook on a hot pan or griddle like pancakes.

Made: 4 large patties

I added a beaten egg to see if it would hold together better and it made it a little soupy. Use your imagination. They seem to me like "sausage" patties so I put one on a toasted English muffin and put a poached egg on top. The taste is a sweet/savory mix. They did not hold together too well but the ones that fell apart could be used as "sausage" crumbles.

Congrats Julie and thank you for the superb recipe and photos! Make sure you send your mailing address to thesuperbreakfastbowlchallenge@gmail.com so we can send you your prizes: the awesome book Thrive—The Vegan Nutrition Guide and the handy book 101 Optimal Life Foods by Registered Dietitian (aka Gu-a-titian) Dave Grotto.
Thanks again to everyone who submitted a recipe! And if you haven't yet, don't forget to send in your
quinoa, and walnut recipes! It's time to challenge your morning meal!

Boston Marathon Training Update
Believe it. I'm halfway through my training program! Nine weeks to go! I'm right on track, and hit the 250 mile mark this morning. I really slacked yesterday, and while I should of ran, I didn't (Does shopping count as endurance exercise?) Instead, I made up 4 miles this morning and scribbled it in on yesterday's training log. This is how my training is checking out...
I also wanted to highlight a product I've recently started using. Since I am running as part of the Melanoma Foundation of New England team, I wanted to talk a little bit about skin care/protection. Every day, we are exposed to UVA/UVB, and we need to be protecting our skin. Don't you want beautiful skin as you age? Well, here's a great facial lotion that has SPF 15 built in, as well as alpha-hydroxy. Since the start of my training, I've noticed my skin has had small breakouts and has not been as smooth. I did some research and checked out this product. Since using this product, I've seen a noticeable change in my skin.
I've also tried the Neutrogena sunscreen and find this one to be the best! With some recent skin cancer scares in my own circle of family/friends, I am taking new steps to protect my skin and get the word out there that skin cancer is real. Please do your part to protect your skin! If you have more questions about skin protection, feel free to email me at afeteforfood@gmail.com.
Reminder! As I train for the Boston Marathon, I'm still raising $$ my charity, the Melanoma Foundation of New England, and would be so happy if you would check out my fundraising page here and support this very worthy cause! I also started a "Get Rid of Your Old Gadgets" fundraising page where you can donate your old electronics for cash! That cash will go directly to the MNFE charity on my behalf. Check THAT out here.
Reminder #2! You still have chances to enter the Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge! Check out the rules here, and submit your walnut recipes for awesome prizes, including Futter Nut Butter walnut butter and Mollie Katzen's Get Cooking cookbook!! This is a pretty cool prize pack if I say so myself, so get creative and submit your breakfast walnut post by Thursday to thebreakfastbowlchallenge@gmail.com.
Question of the Day: Do you have a favorite skin care product?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Bradford Valentine's Day Road Race Recap:
Yesterday Tim and I ran in the Bradford V-Day Road Race. It was an interesting race, where one of us ran a 5 mile loop, the other a 6K loop, and the team with the lowest total time was the winner. The beginning of the race we ran together, but then separated to run our respective loops, only to rejoin at the end for a glorious finish. What a fun race!
The runners:
The finishers + cheering squad:
What do you think of those socks? :-)
I decided to run the 5 mile loop, as I was a bit behind on miles this week. I was happy with my 44:38 finishing time. Running fast is a whole different beast than running long. I was surprised with how exhausted I was when we returned home! I guess I can say I'm becoming a long distance runner. The "speed" (and I use that term lightly, as my pace was a swift 8:56) work will definitely help me as I up my mileage even more in the next 6 weeks.
After the race I googled "cafes in Haverhill" and ended up with the Wicked Big Cafe. We headed there and had a pleasant post-race lunch.
I ordered a hummus and veggie sandwich and a steamy mug of the Mighty Leaf African Nectar tea. This rooibos tea was delicious. I'm definitely going to need to pick some of this up next time I grocery shop.
This Valentine's morning included a steamy cup of coffee with coconut creamer...
... and a batch of Ginger Chocolate Cream Scones, recipe courtesy of Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone.
I recently received a huge shipment of samples from Turtle Mountain of coconut milk, creamer, yogurt, ice cream and ice cream bars, and I've incorporated the creamer into the scone recipe. The ginger, chocolate, and coconut flavor were a perfect combination for a Valentine's morning treat.
While coconut has a somewhat bad nutritional rap for its saturated fat content, the plant-based medium chained-fatty acids (MCFAs) that contribute to its make-up may not be as health-toxifying as traditional saturated fat found in animal products like whole milk, beef, etc. Just keep in mind that MCFAs are still fat, and contributes double the number of calories per gram than protein or carbs. So, use it in moderation.
On that note, I have five coupons for five readers who would like to try one of Turtle Mountain's products! Check out the Turtle Mountain website, check out their products, and leave a comment on this post about your opinion on coconut, how you use it (or not), or what you'd like to try.
Ginger Chocolate Cream Scones
(recipe adapted from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Deborah Madison)
1/3 cup chopped candied ginger
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces
2 eggs
1/2 cup cream + 1 tsp
1/2 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter a sheet pan. Toss the ginger and chocolate chips with 1 Tbsp flour. Add remaining flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter with your fingers until the mixture resembles meal. Combine the eggs, cream and vanilla in another bowl, then stir it into the flour mixture. Turn the dough onto a floured board and lightly knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll the dough into a circle about 3/4 inch thick, then brush the top with a tsp of cream. Cut into 12 wedges, transfer to the sheet pan and bake about 20 minutes, or until top is glazed brown. Serves 12. (Try not to eat every one.)
Oh yes, and this showed up this morning, too.
Can you guess what's in it?
Don't forget to submit your recipes for the Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge for either avocado, flax seed, lentils, quinoa, or walnuts to thesuperbreakfastbowlchallenge@gmail.com! Check out posts from last week for details!

It takes a Village...

Recently, Village Harvest Rice sent me samples of their hot-off-the-press samples of frozen grains. On a cold winter day, these frozen bags of quinoa, "un"fried rice, Thai brown rice, and wild rice showed up on my doorstep.
We decided to sample the "un"fried rice first, with the Thai rolls and edamame pods we were prepping for dinner. In seconds, we had a steaming bowl of rice that complimented the Thai rolls and edamame perfectly. The "un"fried rice is tasty and has none of that "heavy" feeling of traditional fried rice. Each grain is perfectly cooked and has a bit of crunch to it, which was a perfect accompaniment to the soft bits of carrots and peas.
While I could cook up my own grains, it was nice and convenient to just be able to pop this in the microwave for 45 seconds and it be ready.
Yes, I said microwave.
I have been having a discussion with some fellow foodies about use of the microwave. I believe that although it is a helpful invention for quick cooking, people abuse it! Think: Lean Cuisine, Hot Pockets, Microwaveable soup cups.
But, microwaves are also used for vegetable steamer bags, reheating homemade food, and even heating up grains like the Village Harvest unfried rice! I don't necessarily think we all need to toss our microwaves out the window for liberation (think bra-burning) but we do need to reflect how we use it and what for.
Sure, old-fashioned oats can be cooked in the microwave, but they can also be cooked on the stove (and are way better). Not to say I don't eat old-fashioned oats nuked to death, but I feel better when I scoop them out of a pot. And for some oats, like steel-cut oats, it's better to cook them on the stove. I'll save you the disastrous mess and advise you NEVER to attempt steel-cut oats in a microwave. Plus, to get the maximum benefit of whole grains, old-fashioned oats and steel-cuts need to be well-cooked. Otherwise, you are not getting the full benefit of the food, as it needs to absorb water so the soluble fiber can act appropriately. I equate it to eating raw dough (cookie, pizza or otherwise). Never a good idea for your GI.
Anyway, my bottom line is to reflect on how you use this kitchen tool and use it for good, not evil.
Back to Village Harvest Grains. I give them an A+ for taste, convenience, and nutritional value. If you'd like to give them a try yourself, you can print a coupon for 50 cents off here and use it at your supermarket; Village Harvest Grains can also be found on Amazon.com here.
Question of the Day: Have you submitted your Super Breakfast Bowl Challenge recipes yet?
I am not being paid to endorse, promote or market this Village Harvest Rice products.
