After eating peanut butter and rice cakes for a few days in the aftermath of Sandy, I was feeling famished, stressed and lacking energy. Oh and yes, in a bad mood too! Things turned right around when I met Bec in upstate's Rosendale, NY at The Big Cheese for this tasty lunch full of Athlete Food favorites. This Mediterranean spread was my first bite of savory food in a few days and for this storm refugee, it couldn't couldn't have been better!
The Menu:
-roasted beet salad with parsley
-Fresh greens with light dressing
-homemade hummus
-olives
-portobello capped with labne, sundried tomates and chard
-chick pea, carrot, radish and celery chopped salad
-crispy Turkish bread
...and for dessert: a long walk on the Rail Trail
