Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps

Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps

I threw this dinner together one night with leftovers and it was so good.  The last time I made a pork loin, I cooked it in the crockpot and then shredded it and froze most of it.  A few weeks ago I pulled some out 

100 Workout

On Wednesday I wanted to do a leg-heavy workout that would be a little more dynamic than the ones from the WOD Shop website.  I generated ten or so WOD’s from that would be good to do at the gym on my lunch hour and 

Praline Crowned Brie

This is one of my favorite appetizers to take to a party or holiday. It goes great with wine. Trader Joe’s usually has good prices on brie. Sometimes I just buy the wedge and use that instead of a round of brie – it doesn’t

Some Favorite Books

Apparently I have really good taste in books.  No one actually told me that, but so many of the books I love have been turned into movies.  I guess I can’t always claim that I read the book before I knew there would be a

Mexican Stuffed Portobellos

  Mexican Stuffed Portobellos Since we’ve started eating mushrooms, I usually order portobello mushrooms when I get a Green Bean Produce Delivery.  I made these last year – it was just a throw together meal of whatever ingredients we had – and we really liked 

Workouts of the Week: Jan. 22-27

Now that the tendon in my elbow is healed (13 months later), I can start to vary my workouts to where I can actually use my arms.  I’d like to do yoga at least once a week after work (either at PAI, Capital Club, or
