Recipe of the Month – Cowboy Cookies
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”
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 […]

PATTI’S GLUTEN FREE HIGH ALTITUDE PUMPKIN BREAD

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
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 […]
