Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

Do you ever make a dish, question whether or not it will be tasty and then find yourself non-stop yumming over it?  Earlier this week, I found myself doing just that.  Yumming with every single bite. I love it when that happens. This avocado edamame creation started before a bike-trainer workout on Tues evening. I often find myself preparing meals in the 30 minutes that I have to spare before an evening workout because prepping a meal and then waiting for it to cook  after a  workout isn't the most fun when you are hungry, tired and ready to eat. (plus, many times, a hungry and tired body isn't very good at making "healthy" post-workout food decisions). Because I had a very, very, very soft avocado, I wanted to do something with it besides smashing it up or chopping it on a salad. I decided to get creative in my kitchen with a big bowl and a few simple ingredients in my refrigerator and here is what I came up with.... I think you will yum over i...

What a delicious creation!  Karel and I went grocery shopping a bit late tonight (around 6:30pm) so by the time we returned home and unloaded the reusable grocery bags, it was 7:30pm. We didn't shop hungry thanks to a small snack before we left but come 7:45pm we were ready for dinner.  We both did our own meals this evening and I just wanted something simple.  My original plan was to cook my sweet potato and have a side of veggies. I steamed the edamame, corn and mushrooms and I was ready to eat. But then it came to me....why not combine everything together? Oh, what a delicious, simple creation!!! I cubed the sweet potato and combined it with a ladle or two of the veggie mixture. I seasoned with pepper and a pinch of salt and drizzled with olive oil.  Not pictured is the slice of fresh Mozzarella cheese that I enjoyed as I was getting my dinner ready and also the big dollop of Fage 0% Greek Yogurt that I served as a dip on the side.  I just lo...

The other day, someone asked me what I eat when I am really busy. I suppose I needed to give the reply of what fast food I order out or what's my favorite microwave dinner when I have no time to cook. Now, there's always an exception as I do not believe that there is a perfect way of eating but you will not find a microwave dinner in our freezer and Karel and I rarely (less than 5 times a year) go out to eat (unless we are traveling).  This doesn't mean I am good and you are bad but there's a reason why I wanted to write this blog.  I absolutely love real food and I make time to cook, even in my busy lifestyle. I know you can do it too. It's a lot easier than you think. You, me.....we are all busy. Who isn't busy? If there were more hours in the day, we would find a way to fill those up as well.  But it is because of my/your health that we are able to thrive in a world of craziness, business and never ending to do's.  The foo...
