Recipe of the Month- Favorite Granola

December 29, 2021 by Diane Frederic Leave a Comment

This recipe is called Favorite Granola for a reason…it’s just that good! Shared with us by member Janel Ferrin Anderson of Mountain Rebalance who also shares: “This recipe is delicious, is loaded with minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, plus it provides healthy fat, clean protein, and fiber that make the perfect balance in any meal or […]

Recipe of the Month – Cowboy Cookies

October 22, 2021 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

I’m always experimenting with real food as running fuel and various cookies are frequently in the rotation. However, I find it’s hard to find the right balance between durability, moistness, digestibility, and appeal, particularly because I have some food sensitivities (gluten, egg yolk, dairy…) I’ve been playing around with Cowboy Cookie variations for a while, […]

Recipe of the Month – Homemade “Awesome Sauce”

July 19, 2021 by Renee Jacobs 6 Comments

Chances are you’ve tried (or at least heard of) Spring Energy Products. They offer real food based products that many runners enjoy, including myself. Cannaberry has been my staple for some time, but I’m really excited about their relatively new Awesome Sauce flavor. In his recent member highlight, Kelly Barber raves about Speed Nut. The […]

Milking the Options

March 31, 2021 by Tiffany Swan Leave a Comment

When you venture down the milk aisle of any grocery store, you will likely notice an overwhelming number of options. And those are just the dairy options! For those of us that avoid dairy for any reason, the alt mylks are nearly as overwhelming: sweetened or unsweetened, vanilla, coconut, chocolate, stabilized, natural… it is dizzying. […]

Member Highlight- Kathy Slocum

December 29, 2020 by Diane Frederic 2 Comments

I had no idea what my new friend looked like. I met her somewhere between the Cal2 and Cal1 Aid Stations as the climbing becomes relentless on the way back out of the Canyon. She was chipper and chatty I was just thankful for someone else to do the talking and keep my mind off […]

Recipe of the Month: No-bake Peanut Butter Fudge from South America

June 24, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

While bike touring and mountaineering in South America, a good friend of mine discovered a confection sold in stores under the label Mantecol or Nucrem. It became a significant source of calories on his big days and he brought some back to the states to share with me. I packed some in my bag for […]

PATTI’S GLUTEN FREE HIGH ALTITUDE PUMPKIN BREAD

May 31, 2017 by Lesley Dellamonica Leave a Comment

My amazing pastry chef aunt, Patti Dellamonica-Bauler was at my house the other day and I was grousing about my applesauce muffins that turned out like flat marshmallows. She started explaining to me about almond flour being all fat and needing to cut back on baking soda and cooking the muffins for more time…and while […]

FLAVORED NUT BUTTERS

March 30, 2017 by Lesley Dellamonica Leave a Comment

We eat a lot of nut butter in our house, it’s easy to throw in a smoothie or slap on a piece of fruit or bread and go. Last year I scored an inexpensive Vitamix Blender (thank you Craigslist) and have started to make my own nut butters which makes me feel very food nerdy […]

Breakfast Apple Pie Chia Seed Pudding

February 27, 2017 by Lesley Dellamonica 1 Comment

Recently, I’ve been trying to reduce my carb addiction or at least contain it to simple, good-for-you carbs. In my search for more breakfast options I came across Chia Seed Pudding and have had varied success with many recipes. The following is my favorite version that I have come up with after all attempts. Please […]
