My Go-To Vegetable Curry Recipe

When writing my first book Essential Sports Nutrition , I wanted to include some type of recipe that was easy to prepare but also flavorful, nutritious and satisfying for athletes. On page 151 of the book, I created a delicious Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Quinoa Curry dish - packed with spices and veggies. Inspired by this dish, I recently found myself in the kitchen - being creative as always - and created a similiar recipe but with root vegetables (perfect for the winter) and lentils (rich in plant protein, along with calcium, iron, folate and potassium). Depending on what veggies you like (or what you have on hand), you can also be creative with this recipe. I hope you enjoy my new favorite go-to vegetable curry dish. This recipe is sure to leave your taste buds happy, while feeling satisfied and thankful for such delicious food in your belly.

Homemade grilled pizza

Last weekend we had our friends/athletes Anthony and  Peggy  in town (and their furry child Brutus) and we had a lot of fun. The primary reason for traveling from DC to Greenville was to get a RETUL fit/re-fit from Karel on their new tri bikes but we also did a little working out (exercising) and a lot of eating. With every meal, there was a lot of yumming. Like us, Anthony and Peggy share a love for home cooking but we couldn't resist going out for crepes at  Tandem Creperie  on Sunday morning after an hour run (our longest and 2nd run since IM Kona). After our "brunch", we picked up the doggies and we headed downtown for a few hours.  The dogs were almost exhausted as we were (we all hiked at Ceaser's Head on Saturday morning so our legs were a bit tired) so by 3pm, we drove back to our place with a quick stop at Publix to get some ingredients for our pizza dinner. Here are a few pics from our beautiful hike:  An...
