Subscribe to a CSA?

When trying to eat real, unprocessed food, preparedness is key.  If you don't have fresh food available, but you do have lots of processed, preserved food around - guess what you're going to eat?  Make fresh food readily available.

AB gets something similar to this every week!

Consider joining a CSA like New Roots Organics or Full Circle Farms or using a service like Amazon Fresh that deliver fresh, real food right to your door (or the gym's)! AB and Moonboots both get their weekly boxes delivered to the gym- a place you're going to be at anyways, right?!


RECIPE OF THE DAY


Grapefruit, Avocado, and Fennel Salad (Serves 8)
courtesy of Bon Appetit

You can also use maple syrup instead of the honey (it's easier to work with!)

1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Method:
Whisk first 10 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
Using sharp knife, cut between membranes of grapefruits to release segments.
Spread fennel slices over large platter. Arrange grapefruit segments and avocado slices atop fennel. Drizzle dressing over salad. Arrange arugula atop salad.

Nike- shame on you!


Arien O'Connor ran the Nike's Women Marathon and had the fastest time, but wasn't rewarded 1st place because she wasn't in the "Elite" category.

Rival company Reebok came out of and awarded her a bunch of stuff with a trophy with the inscription "Winner and Heroine of Non-Elite Runners Everywhere"

BURN!
