The last post workout recipe you'll ever need

I love to run. 

I love to cook.  

I love to cook food that makes me feel good after I run. 

Let me tell you, replenishment does not have to be the same boring bagel and banana that so many of us eat after we work out.  Sure, quick and easy carb centric foods are a great way to refuel, but adding some flavor to your post work out routine - that feels good. 

Here is my Refuel Special, a quick and easy recipe that will keep your engine humming after a tough work out.

The Avett Brothers - Ridgefield WA Concert Review 8/9/2012

In 2007 my friend Matt, who is my Czar of Music, told me I had to check out this band, The Avett Brothers. So I went out and purchased Emotionalism. After a listen or two, I reported back that they were merely pretty good. I likened them a Country Music version of the Beatles, and remember thinking they were raw, a bit unrefined even, with some forced rhymes and some interesting harmonies. I never thought they would become my favorite band.

Watermelon BBQ Sauce

In honor of National Watermelon Day, I put together a watermelon inspired menu for a casual dinner party I was having.

Spice rubbed pork loin with watermelon BBQ sauce with a side of brown rice and green beans topped with a watermelon salsa.
