Hello and happy February! To start the month off right I thought I’d finally get Dr. Campbell’s last Principles of Nutrition up, so thank you for your patience! To recap on where we left off, just check the first two…
Thai Green Curry Dish – Marcella
This is really good. You can find green curry paste in the “Asian” or “International” section of the grocery store…I used some from Whole Foods. The shiitake was actually home grown, from a kit we got as a Xmas gift,…
Real Quick White Bean Chili – Marcella
We eat black beans a few days a week with lunch and I’m tired of them. I wanted something lighter, SO I threw this together late one work night. We didn’t have any cans of diced green chilies on hand…
Thanksgiving Foodstuffs – Marcella
I spent aalll day cooking yesterday: Clockwise from top left: Green Bean Casserole, Whole Wheat and Teff Chive Mini-Biscuits, Crustless Pumpkin Pie, Potato-Spinach Crustless Knishes, Roasted Root Vegetables, and Gardein Stuffed Turkey Roasts (which I did not make, of course).…
A Week of Work Lunches – Marcella
Working a white-collar job involves the constant presence of donuts, cakes, pizza, candy dishes…My colleagues always express sympathy for me and/or wonder at the discipline I must be exercising when I can’t partake but the truth is that I consider…
Principles of Nutrition Part 2 – Derek
I hope everyone out there is still voting. Only 10 days to go! Thank you all again for the support! To continue with Dr. Campbell’s Principles of Nutrition as outlined in my most recent certification, I will give a brief…
Protein Bars – Marcella
In most cases, you may as well eat a Mars Bar as eat a commercial protein bar. They have – as we used to say in high school – a metric butt-ton of fat and sugar. Derek and I used…
BodySpace Spokesmodel Contest, and Principles of Nutrition – Derek
I have recently entered a competition through bodybuilding.com for a chance to become the BodySpace Spokesmodel of 2011! If I win I will get a chance to be on the cover of Iron Man Magazine and attend the Arnold Classic…
Injury, and Plant-Based Nutrition – Derek
I am writing once again after a rather extended break. As my last post suggested, I experienced several injuries after my last extended bout of High Intensity Training. One of these injuries has proved troublesome, so I have decided to…
Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas – Marcella
Sorry the picture quality is terrible. We were too hungry to find good lighting. 1 can reduced sodium black beans 1 sweet potato, microwaved diced peppers, onions tomato-based salsa of some kind 15.5 oz crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce whole-wheat…
Building More Muscle – Derek
Preparation for our contest is underway! My goal at this stage is simple : gain weight. As much muscle as possible of course, but I want to number on the scale to go up. Routine wise, it was back to…
Yellow Quinoa Dal + Teff Flatbread ("Roti") – Marcella
I love Indian food. Most of what you can get at restaurants is greasy or full of butter or cream, unfortunately. Not ALL Indian food is full of dairy – like other “ethnic” foods available in the U.S. what’s available…
New Recipes! – Marcella
Yeah, I’ve been remiss in posting recipes, I know. Now that all the fuss of the wedding and Derek’s birthday is over I have a bunch of stuff I’ve made to post about… But before I do, here’s a picture…
A Muscular Marriage! – Derek
I am finally back to posting after our busy and beautiful wedding! Special thanks to everyone who came, helped out, and had fun with us on our big day. Check out how happy we are below, and if anyone wants…
12 Week Champions!
I want to take the time to give a belated congratulations to my Gold’s Gym 12 Week Challenge winners Michael Stewart, Jeff Kroll, and Steve Zivich! That’s right; this year not one or two but three of my clients won…
RVA Magazine!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to do a quick post to share that our pictures were just put up on RVA Magazine’s website! Check out the article here: http://rvamag.com/articles/full/8098/in-honor-of-frazetta Thanks again to Kimberly Frost for taking them and sharing them!
Barbarian Pictures!
They’re here at last! Behold our glory. I want to give a special thanks to Kimberly Frost for taking the time to set up an awesome set and taking such great shots! If you want to see more of her…
Marcella Shoot Prep, Phase 3
The final pictures are coming in today, so without further delay I want to go into Marcella’s final phase of photo shoot preparation! To recap a little: after Marcella’s Phase 1 routine she was losing body fat quickly, but also…
Derek’s Photo Shoot Prep Phase 3 – Derek
ANNOUNCEMENT: The final pictures will be released and posted shortly thereafter this Tuesday 5/18 so stay tuned! In the meantime I will describe Marcella and my 3rd phase of prep for that big day, starting with mine. After my Phase…
Omelets! – Marcella
Authentically “eggy” and rich, accomplished with tofu, chickpea flour, and black salt. The last two ingredients are really what give it the egg-like taste and texture. It’s genius – this recipe, very slightly modified, is one of many awesome recipes…
