My life is over. My beautiful wife, Leslie, joined a CrossFit gym a little over a year ago, but that’s not why my life is over. I’m super happy, excited for, and proud of her. She has accomplished so many things in the past year that she never dreamed possible before. And her squats areRead more

In my opinion, egg salad is a curious person’s meal. I mean, really, the first time I ever tried egg salad was because I was curious. I knew I liked eggs and mayo and mustard (sort of) so I tried it and I liked it, A LOT! I will tell you what I don’t likeRead more
Getting healthier has required me to really think about what I’m putting into my body. I have had to renew the way I think about the type of food that I eat because it’s my fuel. If i put crap food in, then I’m gonna feel like crap. Makes sense, right? On a daily basis, IRead more
I was watching a re-run of PSYCH the other night where Sean made Crab cakes with Coriander and Dill, and I got to thinking…Mmm…this sounds good, but I can’t afford lump crab meat today so what can I do??? I made TUNA CAKES with Dill and Cilantro! Here’s the recipe: Tuna Cakes with Dill andRead more
