Day 40 and counting down!

I love PR days because athletes get to surprise themselves by how much better there form is, how strong they are getting and the ease with which they can now put up weight that they would not have even dreamed that they could have lifted a couple of months ago.

AWESOME!!!!!

The Kitchen WOD: Nuts to Loin

Sorry, there was no way to resist putting those words together in the headline. There are several other puerile comments that nuts and loin. Take a few moments to get them out of your system before reading on.

The first recipe of this week’s Kitchen WOD brings you a sun-dried tomato stuffed pork tenderloin that forms the cornerstone of a meal good for a date or a party. And speaking of parties, no party would be complete without a taste of Nate’s Spiced Nuts. Get that recipe here.

  1. Butterfly pork tenderloin.
  2. On one side spread the sun dried tomato and garlic.
  3. Lay the basil leaves on top of the tomatoes fold over the other half of the pork over and tie the pork with 3-4 pieces of string so that the stuffing stays in while cooking.

Nate’s Spiced Nuts

  • 1/2 fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (not hot)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shelled, raw nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250F.
  2. Whisk together lime juice, oil, paprika, salt and cayenne. Stir in pistachios to coat evenly.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the nuts over the parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack for about 30 minutes, or until the spice mixture has dried on the nuts. Let the nuts cool before eating them

Nota Bene: Experiment with this recipe by subbing the paprika and cayenne pepper with your favorite spices.
