Food tip: Buy in season.
I think we all have our favorite foods. Sometimes we just have to adapt. When it comes to vegetables ,the best advice that I can give you is to buy in season. Not only will it taste better, but the prices are lower when in season. This may force you try something else. I remember when my other half hated Brussel sprouts. But now in the winter, he can’t get enough!

Fitness tip: Supersets
Ok, so sometimes we fatigue. Let’s face it, the gym can get boring. That is unless you have me as your trainer. Here is a bit of advice - the superset. Pick two opposing muscle groups, like biceps and triceps, and rotate one exercise from each muscle group back to back without break. This will cut the rest time significantly and keep you fresh from over-thinking in the gym. Plus it will get your heart-rate going too!

Recipe: My Famous Meatballs

2 pieces of stale bread (or not so stale)
1 oz milk
1 tbsp garlic powder,
1 pinch of nutmeg
1 tsp of fennel seed
1 tbsp minced onion (dried is great)
1tsp oregano
　
Take bread and saturate in milk for a few minutes. Then ring it out. This makes really moist balls! Yes I said it. Place in mixing bowl. Combine last 5 ingredients in a coffee grinder and blend. Add to a mixing bowl with bread and turkey. Mix until even. Roll into quarter -sized balls. Place on a cookie sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Place in some store- bought marinara or whatever and enjoy pasta or some polenta!
