Friday Food Fun

My friend, Emily, told me all about this amazing Supper Club Camp her son attended this summer. Put on by a teacher in our area, campers spend the better portion of a day preparing meals from scratch to take home to their families. Campers learn all kinds of cooking skills, ingredient knowledge, and get a hands-on experience preparing gourmet meals from fresh ingredients throughout the week. Each night they bring home enough food to feed their family including a small dessert. Emily raved about the meals – vegetable enchiladas, lemon bars, lentil salad. And her son was so proud of his dishes! What a BRILLIANT idea! I cannot wait to sign Mazen up for this camp next summer.

This got me thinking how much of a food rut I have been in this year. Yes things were a bit rocky at home, but I think I have figured out the main reason why I just don’t want to cook by myself: food prepared by or with someone else just tastes better. Dishes in restaurants. Meals you make with your partner. Mom’s cooking. Even recipes with someone else’s touch taste better than something I create on the spot. The “made with a pinch of love” quotes are true. I have never been much of a recipe follower, but I need to make it feel like I’m in someone else’s kitchen, sharing the experience with them. Do any of you feel this way?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
