Comments Off on Better Eating to Stay in Shape When You’re on the Road 
I’ve laid down a couple posts recently about how to make fully flavorful, energy-sustaining instant hot cereal from cold cereal and how to take that instant hot cereal from simple to exciting when you’re at home.
But what if you’re on the road for either work or fun and have no choice but to eat out for meals?

Like I mentioned in the last post, I learned a lot about European cycling culture at Eurobike 2017 in Friedrichshafen, Germany last week and also had some terrifically flavorful foods. Regarding cycling culture, the Europeans are way ahead of where we are and continue to improve. Always actively improving: I love it!
Here’s a German example of how downtown driving, cycling, and pedestrian access is put into practice. The car travel lane (not visible in the picture below) is far left. Cars park up to the sidewalk. The left side of the sidewalk is Read more »

As I mentioned in my last post posted a few weeks ago (Ow!), one of my favorite summer foods is fresh tomatoes right off the field, and one of my favorite ways to have those fresh tomatoes is sliced and topped with fresh basil, mozzarella chcese, a shot of olive oil, a good shot of balsamic vinegar, and a good crunch of freshly ground black pepper (or chopped fresh jalapeños – yah!). Terrific!
Here’s a slight twist on that combination made with what you see below: heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, feta cheese and Read more »

Live coverage of Tour de France stage 7 from Troyes to Nuits Saint George in central eastern France is on. Guys will be rippin’ it for more than 125 miles very challenging miles in the saddle – maybe some of it chased by women on horses as shown above during yesterday’s stage 6. Cool!

Yesterday’s post showed how to use your favorite bread to make French toast either in the pan or microwave oven.

May 30th, 2017 Blog, Breakfast, Cycling, Cycling Food, Fitness Food, French Toast Comments Off on 12 Days to Cancer Ride and French Toast Training Fuel
12 days to the 100 mile Bicycles Battling Cancer ride through Central Massachusetts – you bet, I’d appreciate your support.
Regarding training, French toast, which combines sustained energy from the protein in eggs with the more immediate energy provided by complex carbohydrates in bread, is a great fuel for a good ride, run, or any activity that keeps your body in motion. I made the French toast shown above with a great local find: Seeded Levain bread from the BirchTree Bread Co. in Worcester, MA – I’ll be back for more soon! Tomorrow I’ll show how to take the French Toast I made above from “Simple to Exciting” to power a gorgeous 60+ mile training ride last weekend.
May 23rd, 2017 Anti-Inflammatory Foods, Blog, Cycling Food, Fitness Food, How To & Tips Comments Off on 19 Days To Bikes Battling Cancer Ride and How to Cut Avocados Safely 
Avocados are packed with health-promoting, anti-inflammatory whole body nutrients, which makes them great for those of us who keep our bodies active (click this link to a comprehensive avocado nutrition article from Medical News Today and this link to the World’s Healthiest Foods detailed description of avocado nutrition and preparation tips). I’m planning to have a good shot of avocado when I get back from a training ride around lunchtime. (19 days until the Bicycles Battling Cancer ride and still plenty of time to contribute to its very worthy cause by clicking this link.)
Regarding avocado prep, you might’ve seen some recent headlines like those shown above. The problem: people cutting Read more »
