My training schedule for barre took it up a notch today, and I was very nervous to say the least. I can’t really explain this feeling very well; it’s not so much a fear of public speaking, but simply screwing up. It’s a whole different ball game when choreography is involved. First thing this morning, [...]

Today I decided to make a turkey alfalfa sprout sandwich that has been one of my favorites for years. My mom has been making this sandwich for me since middle school, and I had forgotten about it until recently. I would eat this exact same sandwich every single day of the school week… it’s THAT [...]

I have been a member of Lifetime Fitness for almost 7 years, the locations always worked well for where I was living/working and I felt like it was my only option. Since we are hoping to move soon there may not be a Lifetime close to where I live. I had to actually think about [...]

I was quite excited when I saw that berries were on sale last week! You bet I bought some, and of course I had to make some yummy desserts with them, but that was not all I made. I made a few delicious salads as well! One of which I decided to share because it is so simple and so lovely. Lately my boyfriend Eric and I have been making a lot of salads with fruit based chia seed dressings, lots of greens, fruits and/or veggies and nut chevre to top it off. My favorite is this one, the triple berry salad. It is delicious as it is here, or with beets added which is how we had it last night.
The sweet berries are perfect with the creamy chevre and it is heavenly (if you can call a salad that, which I believe you can)! Try it out and I have a feeling you will love it as well! Berries will be abundant soon, and it is the perfect time of year to take advantage of them in all sorts of ways, including savory dishes.
Triple Berry Salad with Macadamia Chevre and Raspberry Chia Dressing Serves 4Macadamia chevre:2 cups macadamias, soaked for at least 4 hours and drained1/4 cup lemon juice1 tsp cider vinegar1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)2-3 Tbsp filtered water as neededDressing:2 Tbsp chia seeds6 Tbsp filtered water1 1/2 cups organic raspberries3 Tbsp cider vinegar1 Tbsp raw coconut nectar2 Tbsp olive oilsea salt1 1/2 cups organic raspberries1 1/2 cups organic blueberries1 1/2 cups strawberries, slicedabout 6 cups of mixed baby greens To make the chevre, combine all ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth, adding a Tbsp or two of water as needed to create a goat cheese like consistency (do not add too much or it will be too thin.). Place the cheese in 2 layers of cheesecloth, fold it around the cheese and let sit in the fridge overnight.To make the dressing, soak the chia seeds in the water until they soak all of it up (about 15 min). Add them to a food processor, along with the 1 1/2 cups berries, vinegar, coconut nectar, olive oil, and sea salt to taste. Process until smooth and well blended. This dressing can be stored in the fridge for 2 weeks. To assemble the salad, place greens on four plates, top with the berries. Then pull small pieces off the chevre and scatter them about the salad (you will most likely have extra chevre for another use). Drizzle the dressing over the salads and serve!

After my marathon I’m planning on taking a break for running, at least for a few months. My foot isn’t completely healed, and I want it to be 100% when/if I start training for the Ragnar Relay and the Mohawk Hudson half marathon this fall. Ultimately I want to be a better and faster runner, and . . . → Read More: Post-Marathon Plans
