Trader Joes’s says about Creamy Toscano Cheese soaked in Syrah: 

Creamy Toscano Cheese Soaked in Syrah– begins with a Wisconsin-crafted cheese that seamlessly blends the nutty flavor of an aged Parmesan with the creamy texture of a farmstead Cheddar.  In a twist that’s exclusive to Trader Joe’s, each wheel is soaked in our very own Coastal Syrah.  The wine imparts subtle blackberry and plum jam flavors to the cheese, creating a marriage of flavors that’s destined to make you say “I do,” over and over again.

Ingredients in Strawberry, Chicken & Kale Salad Recipe

  • Kale- contains fiber, antioxidants, calcium, vitamins C and K, iron, and a wide range of other nutrients that can help prevent various health problems.
  • Chicken- has a very high protein content, which plays a very important role in sustaining our muscles. Rich in calcium and phosphorous for healthy bones. Stress reliever with tryptophane and vitamin B5. Immunity booster too!
  • Strawberries- Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food. They are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium.
  • Red Onion- is full of sulfur compounds that protect the body from ulcers and various cancers. They can also fight bacteria in the urinary tract. The most important of these compounds is called quercetin – an antioxidant compound that could provide protection against cancer, heart disease and allergies.
  • Mint- is a particularly good source of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that is critical for eye health and night vision. It is also a potent source of antioxidants, especially when compared to other herbs and spices.

Miss Nichole from Pure Clean Fitness

One of the greatest things about working out is finding that limits are not set in stone, they can be pushed and they can be broken. Weights that seemed impossible one day become liftable. Speeds that seemed a bit insane are now within reach. And workouts that seemed daunting become your bread and butter. This is one of those workouts.

Today we are doing a Tabata style workout with a weighted ball. Tabata is hard, it is supposed to be. You have to learn to embrace the hard, seek after the hard, and you will find that hard is fun. Hard is how we get better. Hard it how we make changes.
 
Quick reminder: Tabata is 20 seconds all out with a 10 second rest for 8 rounds (4 minutes). The 20 seconds is meant to be all out!
