Monday, January 28, 2013 - Day 27 of New Year Challenge


In honor of the super bowl this week I will post daily recipes for finger foods that would be great to serve at a party...like a super bowl party.

Read this article and thought you guys might be interested.  I'm a big fan of GSP and Dr. John Barardi of Precision Nutrition, so I was pretty excited to see that the two have been working together for a couple of years:

We're only 3 weeks away from the test-out week, so there's not a lot of time to get stronger, faster, and leaner.  I'm going to continue to push you guys pretty hard at the gym, and I strongly encourage you to step it up on your nutrition if you haven't already.  3 weeks isn't a lot of time if we're talking about improving our performance only through workouts; however, it is plenty of time to make huge advances if you do a combination of working hard in the gym and going very strict on your nutrition.

BTW...I made the Venison Butternut Squash Chili from last Tuesday's Blog Post last night and it was excellent.  Though I will say that the smell is so incredible that it is probably affecting my taste.  The cinammon/paprika combination made the whole house smell awesome last night.  The chili will be even better today after sitting overnight.  I bought a good dutch oven style pot to start cooking these types of things in and it seems to have helped a lot. I ended up going with this one because the Le Creuset I wanted was a little out of my price range.
