Review of Brute Women Showdown

Review of Brute Women Showdown

Here's my review of Brute Women Showdown. I know we've talked about listening to podcasts and watching TV while on the treadmill. Cardio activities, especially indoor cardio activities, can be pretty boring. It helps to find things to occupy your mind. Last year I was doing a challenge at my gym. We had to do swimming, biking, and running at the same distance as an Ironman race. Fortunately, we had four to six weeks to accomplish this goal and didn't have to do an actual Ironman event. I was looking around for ways to occupy myself while riding the stationary bike and came across Brute Women Showdown, a competition hosted by Brute Strength Training.. I'm not sure about that name but I loved watching the program. It...

A Variation on the Frittata

A Variation on the Frittata

I decided to provide you with a variation on the frittata. Chris posted her pepper frittata recipe the other day and she motivated me to cook one for my lunch. I took the opportunity to capture my version of the frittata and thought I'd share it here. Because I used a pan that could go into the oven, I decided to go ahead and throw the frittata under the broiler. I didn't have to do that but it gave everything a nicely browned topping. One of the things I love about making a frittata is that you can save the leftovers and enjoy them the next day. It keeps and reheats well. Another great thing about frittatas is that you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand....

Frittata with Pepper Stir Fry Veggie Challenge

Frittata with Pepper Stir Fry Isn’t Cheating on the Challenge

In one of the recent podcasts I was thinking about my Frittata with Pepper Stir Fry breakfast when I said that I was cheating on the 2021 Veggie Challenge. We are all trying to add vegetables to our meals. The challenge for me is to eat more vegetables in my diet. The way I've been cheating is buying frozen vegetable packs and using them instead of cleaning, cutting and preparing fresh veggies. Jill replied that she doesn't think it is cheating, so I've decided to share this "recipe" with all of you. It's very easy and delicious too. Some people cook the eggs in an oven ready pan so they can bake the veggies into the frittata, but I take the easy stove top way instead. Pop...
