All in Recipe
The idea of cooking fish used to daunt me. After a full day of work and working out, I’d think up every excuse not to make it. My two biggest worries were that it would take too long and that I’d overcook it.
Then, I realized that if I can master three sports, cooking a piece of salmon should be a piece of cake. I surfed around the web looking at recipes and discovered that cooking fish is actually pretty speedy. Roasting seemed the most foolproof, since the cooking time is relatively predictable.
Last Sunday Melissa emailed us her recipe for a lazy dinner: “Green Omelet: Mix two eggs, two egg whites, a heaping tablespoon chopped parsley, a tablespoon or two of Parmesan or goat cheese, and half-cup leftover spinach, chopped.” Since I am all about "lazy" when it comes to cooking (and not just on Sundays!), I was very excited that it might be a dinner I could actually cook. If this blog project does one thing, maybe it will prompt me to remove my sweaters from their storage spot in my oven!
It's hard to imagine that I used to eat sweet potatoes just once a year, on Thanksgiving, since they are now one of our go-to snacks between workouts. Laurel and I got on the sweet potato kick because our gym, Chelsea Piers, sells baked sweet potatoes for a buck each. When we camp out at the gym for a full day of workouts, we need real food (not just bars) to keep us energized.
