One thing most may not know about me is that I LOVE a good cookbook. I can spend hours turning the pages and planning out new menus. For the most part these days Scott has been cooking dinner but I jump in a few of them as well. We both love to cook and I am glad that he loves to cook healthy as well. I LOVE baking muffins, breads, cakes…you name it.
So when I first came across this cookbook I knew it was a must have! I will save you the drama of how I got it (note: Amazon does not take Visa gift cards. STUPID if you ask me) but I have it and LOVE it.
If you are looking for Athlete focused foods rich in taste with just the right balance of calories, carbs, proteins, and fat than this is a must have. The book even makes notes of which recipes are best for Training and Recovery.
First up - Roasted Tomato, Shrimp and Linguine with fresh basil. Page 87
Part of my fatigue comes from not properly fueling before, during, and after a training session. So what does a girl do? Makes changes. Period. Enough said. I am doing it!

Looks like a great cookbook! I need to try some new recipes... maybe I'll check it out.
Oh THANKS Robin! I love a great cookbook.
That looks awesome and would make a great gift too! I'm struggling with the lack of energy as well.
So, guess what, I'm buying the cookbook!!!
Awesome! I will pick that up. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks, Robin that is a great post. My wife is getting that cook book for Valentines Day...is that a good idea...;-)
WHY is my picture blank?!? Grrrr... Email what book that is cuz I lurves cookbooks too! I am uber focused on nutrition this year! and my body shows it, already.
good girl! we had the same exact pasta last night, basil and garlic. and shrimp and tomatoes. so good. so weird that its the same as on your blog!
I have looked at that book before but didn't know if it was any good. Thanks for the recommendation! The shrimp pasta looks yum yum!
You always have such great suggestions -- hence the reason I ALWAYS check your blog. Great book idea...
So if I start making recipes from that book, will I get arms like that? Because they rock!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Oooooo....that shrimp dish looks and sounds heavenly. To think it's also healthy. I think they just made another sale...
ISBN# ???
I will check it out at Amazon as I am looking for a few more 'go-to' recipes.
I've been eating more acid in my diet the last year or so. It helps with the absorption of calcium and iron. Iron, girls, iron. Hint, hint.
Lilly, you might give 300mg of Co-Q10 a try for 5-6 weeks. I took it for a yr and a half. It got my heart strong enough to start exercising again after a 'coronary event'.
Great book recommendation! I'm not good at the fueling before/during/after either. Have a great weekend!
Change that from shrimp to chicken, and I'll be over in a minute!! Love you! You two have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Best. Cookbook. EVER. We have a couple hundred cookbooks in our collection and I use this one the most. Glad to know all FTC members now can endorse this book! :D
