Hey, hey! Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? Ours was really nice. It was fairly low-key, but we had plenty of fun too. Here’s a recap of our weekend via  High Low High , which also includes my less-than-stellar workouts from last week. More on that in a minute. Ok, here we go with High Low High! HIGH : I did CrossFit Open WOD 17.2 on Friday morning and linked together 15 T2B, which is a PR for me. Woohoo! I could barely do 2-3 linked during last year’s Open, so they’ve come a long way!

Yes, actually. “Generally the brighter or darker in color, the higher the antioxidant content,” says registered dietitian nutritionist Serena Ball, MS, RD, who writes about food and nutrition at Teaspoon of Spice , as well as for Healthy Eats. “Think turmeric.”  Ball advises health-minded cooks to keep spices such as cinnamon, cayenne and cumin on hand, as well. “Several teaspoons of cinnamon a day could help increase insulin sensitivity in people who have diabetes,” she says.

I’ve really been into Thai flavors lately. I go through phases quite often when all I want for an entire week or two is a particular type of food. I’m not sure why, but as long as I keep it clean,… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://ift.tt/2n20ghV
