Carbo-loading with Giovanni Rana Pastas
Last night I had the opportunity to host a pasta party courtesy of Giovanni Rana pasta! They sent me all different types of their fresh pasta to cook for myself, Chris and some friends. The idea they had was to have a carbo-loading pasta party for those of us who are runners! Thankfully I’m training for a marathon so I this worked out pretty perfect! A few of my runner friends came over and Chris cooked up the fresh pasta. I still can’t get over how fresh and delicious the pasta is. We had the cheese tortellini, spinach and ricotta ravioli, artichoke ravioli, and the fettuccine, along with three types…

Some New Tart Cherry Juice
We all know how much I love Cheribundi Tart Cherry Juice. I drink it a lot during marathon training, after races, and after strength workouts to prevent muscle soreness and fight inflammation.

DASH Juicer Review
Well, I’ve had my juicer for a few weeks now, so now would be as good a time as any to review it. I bought the Dash Juicer on sale at Macy’s after Christmas and I had a gift card so I didn’t spend much of my own money on this. I think it came to $50 after the gift card, which isn’t bad. I did a bit of research a few days before I bought it, but not that much. I read a few reviews, some good, some bad. But this one had some of the better reviews. I wasn’t looking to make juice three times a day every…
