After a recent trip to the supermarket, I wondered if spending double for my wild salmon was a worthwhile investment. I remember reading a few articles many years ago when salmon hit the Top 10 List dissuading folks from purchasing farm raised salmon for a multitude of reasons, but surely we have addressed these issues by now…or have we?

I would love to claim this one as my own but at some point, somewhere along the line, I tore it out of a triathlon, running or cycling magazine and didn't jot down the very noble creator of this dish. So if you're looking for a warm hearty meal to share with your family (and that is true to The Core), this one will knock your socks off with all its nutritional benefits AND taste.

My posts have been seasonal as of late, so what better way to continue the trend, than by focusing on another fall "favorite"… the flu. Yes folks, its flu season once again. Are you washing your hands regularly? Have you gotten your flu shot yet? Sure, a quick stab (ouch!) in the arm and a sore bicep for a week can help ward off the dreaded "bug", but what can you do from a nutrition stand point to prevent spending your winter with a box of tissues in hand?

As we approach the off-season, conveniently coinciding with the holiday season, the tendency to forego strict nutrition and loosen up is understandable. We've all worked hard and sacrificed for the passion of sport. The time is now to celebrate our accomplishments and live it up! Cereal parties, pancakes and Halloween candy (if you haven't read Rachel's latest bog, check out which treats may trick you) are the perfect choices now that training and competing are wrapped up. Well…(insert audio of needle scratching across the vinyl here)…not so fast.

Grass fed Beef….What is it? Why should I care? Read on and find out!

Yes it is true. Cows like grass. They love it fresh but they will take it dried as well and they have the digestive system to handle it, four stomachs in all, pretty great stuff.

Fall is my absolute favorite season! The color of the leaves, the crispness in the air, great temperatures for long runs and rides… it's the perfect time of year! Now that I've dug my most comfy sweater and slippers out of the box in my basement, it's time for another of my fall favorites: cooking (and eating) soups, stews, and chili. Or as I like to call them, "stoups"!

Some of you know me by now, but to most I am likely a new face. I have recently started with QT2 as a dietitian after years of working with runners and other athletes specific to the New York market. During my recent relocation process, one that was a bit bumpy, I continued to run. However, my training and fueling were not well thought out as I had given them the back burner to other more pressing priorities.

It's almost Memorial Day weekend which is the start of summer and the start of cookout season. I used to always struggle with what to bring when Jesse and I were invited to family or friends for a cookout during the summer.
