Micky D's doesn't mold

This just in - McDonald's food does not mold 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE.  Eek.  Can someone please try this with a Dick's burger?


(AB previously wrote about this phenomenon here)

We encourage you to eat fresh food that will mold when left out.  If your food naturally decomposes, that is a good sign.

It's getting a little colder which means it's time for me to break out the slow cooker and those stew and soup recipes.  This recipe for Chicken Almond Stew was a big hit during the Look Good Naked Challenge.  Have a fun fall-time recipe to share?  Send me a picture of it and a detailed recipe and we'll feature it on the blog!



2 chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 smallish carrots or 1 large
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup almond butter
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Optional garnish: Chopped almonds and cilantro

In a large pot, over medium-high heat, cook chicken in oil until lightly browned and no longer pink, stirring frequently. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients, mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until sweet potato is tender, stirring occasionally. If stew becomes too thick, add additional water. Top with sliced almonds and cilantro.

Yield: 8 (1 1/2 cup) servings

We encourage and ask you to push yourself to the limit everytime you workout so that you get results. That's right- YOU become responsible for your own success!

When we start approaching our maxes our goal here is to make sure that the only thing holding you back is weight. Not lifting with improper form or wearing the wrong shoes (AHEM!)

Focus on form and the weights will build and build and build...
