Feel Good Eating –   From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Thank you to anyone that ever took the time to read my attempt at a little blog. I’m not much of a writer, and I sure never made it easy on any of you reading, to keep up with my incoherent thoughts  patterns and grammar mistakes. I hope that over the years, you found some useful recipes and thoughts/ideas here. If even one of those, put a quick smile on someones face and/or  made their day a bit better if only for a second, I’m pleased and gr… Read more

Feel Good Eating – As I mentioned yesterday, life on the road brings along a few challenges if you have a regular routine of prepping your own food and exercising. With some planning and tricks of the trade, you don’t have to give in to fast food and a treadmill while away from home. For the exercise part, I’d like to refer you to the experts. One of those experts I think is Steve Maxwell. Take a look through his site and  if you are not familiar, this post, gives you a good feel for his personality and approac… Read more

Feel Good Eating – Well…. I guess I’m not totally to blame as I don’t really ever use the microwave, but it’s true, eggs like to do the funky cold medina if you stick them in the microwave. As Jim Carey would say: holy hell! Life on the road requires a little more discipline if you want to keep to your way of eating and exercising. So yes, my little  travel cooler had some yummy eggs in there and wanting a few for breakfast I used the microwave in my hotel room. I’m glad the warm scrambled egg … Read more

Feel Good Eating – Chris Highcock posted this wonderful video I can tell you that a few years ago (5), I saw a huge change in my attention span. My Crackberry had slowly hijacked my mind and focus. Even though I have become an Apple guy, which offers yet more distractions, I have made a very conscious effort over the last years to take back control. Every time my beautiful wife and I take a walk through one of our local trails or parks, I realize how incredibly good it feels to just unplug and let nature do its thing to me. T… Read more

Feel Good Eating – The art of keeping things simple. Even at the highest levels, the person handling a complicated task (usually) breaks it down to single manageable simple step. That’s how it’s done, by the fore most experts in any given field. Want expert? We all know Keith Norris right? (those of you that don’t click the link please) Keith plays in the upper sphere of physical culture/strength and conditioning. If you ever look at the videos he shares, you will see him “working it” one simpl… Read more

Feel Good Eating – In my little shed in the back yard, one smart mommy sparrow built herself a nice little protected nest in the bag of some of my bbq tools: It’s nice to see life/nature so real in front of your own eyes. It does a person good… So instead of a more exposed nest, the mommy sparrow figured she would negate some of the risk of having a nest. Perhaps a bit more out of the way of the neighborhood cats and other threats. I’m pretty sure though the mommy bird didn’t worry about it as she went… Read more

Feel Good Eating – I watched another  (if you are not making eggs his way…make sure you watch that video) great little cooking demo by Mr. Gordon Ramsey, ( less than 3 minutes long).Pay close attention as the “recipe” is a nice blue print for all sorts of experimentation. I actually made his recipe not with halibut but with chicken the other day and it was superb. SUPERB…..that even sounded a little Ramsey-esque. So really. Use a base of fresh herbs or spices and mix with yogurt. This a cilantro, mint… Read more

Feel Good Eating – A gift my beautiful wife gave me this past Valentines day: I have been using these flavored salts with much success. They are all flavored with a different spicy pepper, from jalapeno to ghost pepper. They are huge on taste in a very simple way. Delicious sprinkled on some avocado, tomato or potato. Of course excellent on grilled and roasted meats too. Interestingly… http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK50958/ You can make your own flavored salts very easily, take a look:  http://www.marthastewart.co… Read more

Feel Good Eating – Yes, cheap. More and more, I’m seeing packaged free range organic chicken legs. My speculation is that for the more well heeled crowd able to afford the very expensive free range organic chicken, the dark meat/legs are not as popular a cut as the tasteless breast. (there’s plenty of organic chicken around now, but organic and free range not so much.) Also many people still seem to believe that the white meat is the “healthy” part of the chicken. Anywho, keep your eyes peeled for it i… Read more

Feel Good Eating – It could be I think.Frittata seems to be one of these dishes you make a few times and than you forget about it for a while. Well, that seems the way it works for me anyway. Had some left over roasted veggies (zucchini, carrots) and shredded pork feelgoodeating style. (recipe needed? Hit me up in the comments) Cast iron pan works so nicely for this, maybe it just looks nice in that black pan who knows, but grab a pan that  can handle the oven. You will need: 8 eggs (beaten) 1 pat of butter or fat of your ch… Read more
