Homemade mini cinnamon rolls

This isn't the first time I've posted this recipe as I love my homemade cinnamon rolls. This time around, I made the cinnamon rolls in mini-size and added walnuts and shaved coconut - perfect for snacking and yumming. Enjoy! Easy-to-make Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients Dough: 2 cups all purpose flour 2 tbsp white sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 3 tbsp butter (softened) 3/4 cup milk 1 egg Filling: 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp ground cinnamon 1/4 cup shaved coconut 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (Use as much/little of the filling as you'd like) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch square baking dish with melted butter (or cooking spray). Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Work in 3 tbsp softened butter into the flour mixture using your hands. Beat milk and egg together in another bowl. Pour into flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.

Planning your race travel

Race-cations (as we like to call them) provide a special opportunity to travel to a destination, race somewhere new and (hopefully) enjoy a little sight-seeing and R&R after the race. Although traveling to a race should be exciting, racing outside of your home environment can be stressful, as there are many unknowns and potential logistical nightmares of racing in an unfamiliar venue. For many athletes, the normal anxiety, worries and fears that occur during race week can be doubled when racing outside of your home environment or in a new location. While stories like lost luggage, a broken bike or a cancelled swim may have worried about a race-cation, some of your most memorable racing experiences will likely occur at a destination race. Here are a few race travel tips to help you make the most of your traveling experience: Plan ahead - Although you can't control everything, you can reduce anxiety/stress by being meticulously prepared.

My new Ventum NS1 Road Bike

As I prepare for the 2020 Haute Route Alps , I will be training (and participating) on my new road bike. The Ventum NS1 Road Bike. I am so excited....I've got all those new-bike-feels. Even though my primary sport is triathlon, I still spend time on my road bike (at least once a week outside). I love the feel of riding a road bike - plus it's a lot more fun to ride on our challenging terrain.  Equipped with disc breaks, Rotor Aldhu 155 crankset, Shimano Ultegra r8000 Di2 and size 50 (XS), I feel so comfortable and efficient on the Ventum NS1 road bike .

The bike was shipped to us from Ventum in a large box, which made assembly pretty easy. I love the little details that Ventum puts into their shipping process. After two full seasons on my Ventum One triathlon bike (which I absolutely lov
