Before the Beach, 10-6 Workout

September 06, 2014/ sherri d'alessandro

Morning guys! Just wanted to share a quick workout with you before you hit the beach today! I modified one that Peanut Butter Fingers shared last week. Start with 10 reps of each move and work your way down to 6 unless noted to do 20, 19... etc. Things I love about this workout:

- It can be done anywhere (seriously no weights needed and only need about a 6'x6' space)

- It hits pretty much every muscle group

-Takes about a half hour and can be modified to add more sets if you have time

- It's fun!

- Makes ya sweaty!

Have a great workout and an awesome weekend! xo

Friday Favs_9.5.14

Hey, where did August go?

No seriously? Pretty sure I snapped my fingers on 7/31 and woke up on 9/4 wondering where in the world August went. Anyway, it was quite the month! Filled with birthday parties, travel, fun in the sun, and good times with friends and family. This weekend, I am looking forward to a little r&r right here in Southie. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend. Here are a few of my favs from the last week or so.

This was pretty cool. A storm came into Plymouth and we raced towards the sun on my dad's boat. The view behind us was unreal.

Sunset at Duxbury with a leftover spikeball net from the day's games.

Probably, no, definitely the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had from Wicked at Legacy. I shared it with Jessica from Gluten Free Boston Girl.

So much basil that made so much pesto.

Yeah! Sprinkle that shit everywhere! xo

ZOODLES!!

September 02, 2014/ sherri d'alessandro

I think I've mentioned before that there are a handful of Australian vegan bloggers I follow on Instagram who post the most beautiful smoothie bowls, salads, fruit mash-ups that I have EVER, EVER seen. It's like they're all professional food stylists. Here's a few if you're interested --> lonijane and onehungrymami and thefitfoodieblog

So, I've totally tried to replicate some of their smoothie bowls, but, lately I've been super jealous of the ZOODLES they've all been making! Zoodles are basically noodles made from zucchini or other types of squash or eggplant. I've never used any other blade on my cuisinart food processor besides the standard one, but, I asked my mom if there was another blade that might make something that at least shreds these vegetables into something like a zoodle. Alas, there is! Hooray!

So it definitely shreds the zucchini more than noodles it, but, whatever. It's still cool.

Anyway, I wasn't sure what to do with them so I figured pesto might be good. I defrosted one that I made a few weeks ago and mixed around the zoodle shreds in it with some fresh organic tomatoes, diced basil from my garden, parmesan and....
