It comes from the movie Cars, when Lightning Mc. Queen is learning how to race on dirt roads instead of his usual asphalt.
Okay, so that’s not really a saying; I actually just made it up. But there might as well be such a saying because it’s true and many of us learn the hard way. Becoming pace- obsessed and running full tilt every time is the surest way to burn out and not improve at all. Your slow runs need to be slow and your fast runs need to be fast and never the twain shall meet (another made- up saying, feel free to use it). Or, as my wise sister- in- law said recently, “learning to run slowly is as important as learning to run fast”. All of this is to say that I am trying to learn to run slowly and I am not always very good at it. ![]() Adapted from Choosing Raw. Yield: 6 generous servings. Ingredients: Mashed Potatoes. Being a rather speedy gal, I have a tendency to always want to best my own time. And not just when I am on the race course, but when I am out for basic, bread- and- butter runs. Trying to run at race pace each and every time stresses the joints and muscles and it can really make you hate the run. A proper mix of slow running, speed work and tempo runs is the key to getting faster overall. And so as I continue to come back from my stress fracture this past winter, I am trying hard to keep that in mind. ![]() Image courtesy of Regan Jones, RDThis past weekend, I ran with the Cabot Fit Team in the Vermont City Marathon and Relay as part of a 5- man (woman) relay team. We had multiple teams on the course, some people doing shorter legs, some people doing half- marathons and two runners doing the full 2. My leg was a lovely 6- miler that wound through Burlington and along the banks of Lake Champlain, finishing on an absolutely ginormous hill. It was a gorgeous day and a fantastic race. My team consisted of Marlow of Gluten Hates Me, Katie of Healthy Seasonal Recipes, Amber of Fit Foodie Runs and Deanna of Teaspoon of Spice. Other teams included Joanne of Eats Well With Others, Kelly of . Once again, the Cabot Fit Team brought back to me my love of running and racing. ![]() I had no illusions about this being a PR for me, and since that was off the table, I ran for the pure joy of it. Katie and I both ran the Beach to Beacon with Cabot last summer, so she knows my tendency to go hard and fast. She kept telling me “Be cool, Ketchum, you don’t want to get injured again”. Wise, oh so wise, that Katie Webster. And so I heard her voice in my head as I ran my portion of the race. I was aiming for a pace of between 8 and 8: 2. I have run since getting back to it this spring, but not so fast that I didn’t save energy for the huge hill at the end (or risking injury). ![]() This low carb meat and egg pie is ridiculously easy to make and incredibly delicious . Use your favourite taco seasoning and adjust the. A sandwich is a food item consisting of one or more types of food, such as vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally. Good morning, hello, how are you? Food blogging is a funny little part of my life. The temptation was there to go harder and I went out a little too fast on that first mile (as I am wont to do), but I dialled it back and stayed on pace for the rest of the run.

Most people I come in contact with in “real life” don’t even know I do it; whereas you guys only know about what gets posted here, only this little shared piece of me. Sometimes I feel like my head is bursting with ideas and all I want to do is camp out in the kitchen, test things out and share them with you. Other times, blogging is just off my radar completely. We just go about our business as a family for a while and suddenly (usually during a bang- up meal) I realize that I haven’t been blogging. Blogging has changed a lot in the past five years. Heck, my life has changed a lot in the past five years. When I first started blogging, I did it because I really enjoyed baking and cooking and documenting what was going on in my kitchen. I had no kids, I had plenty of time. Then the blog grew a little bit and I started to put more importance on posting however- many- times a week, making sure I was hitting up social media and doing all the “right stuff” as a blogger. And I went through a period where I felt really guilty if I wasn’t keeping all of those things going. Spoiler Alert: I can not keep all that stuff going. You better believe I have been churning out some great meals for my family that I’d love to share, but I just got out of the groove of setting up photos. Lots of good meals have gone undocumented. Sometimes I still feel guilty for not sharing all of that good stuff with you guys, but realistically, I know that you understand that I have a real life to live outside this slice of the web. So, just thanks for being awesome and going with the flow. I’ll start talking about the pie now. This Shepherd’s Pie wasn’t some long- thought- out plan to reduce potato consumption or GAPS- ify a classic recipe. I just had a head of cauliflower and some ground beef that needed using and this is what happened. I saw it coming out of the oven all bubbly and brown and my brain said, “Take a picture, fast, and then let’s eat this thing!”Cauliflower is like the classic nerd- that- turns- popular story, am I right? People never really gave it much thought before, but now it is everywhere! Cauliflower pizza crusts and faux- tatoes and cauli- rice galore. Good for you, cauliflower. Enjoy your 1. 5 minutes of vegetable fame. You and your versatility deserve it. This is similar to a classic Shepherd’s Pie, just with the potatoes swapped for cauliflower. I did add cheese on the top, but you can leave it off if you must. If you’re on the fence, though, definitely leave it on- it’s awesome. I used extra sharp cheddar. Treat Yo’ Self. Perfect meal for fall, you guys! Dinner on the table in about an hour. What’s not to love? Shepherd’s Pie with Cauliflower Topping (GAPS, Paleo, Grain- Free)Author: Oven Love. Recipe type: Main Dish.

Filed under Dairy Free, Egg Free, GAPS, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Main Dishes, Paleo, Refined Sugar Free. Paleo Shepherd's Pie Recipe. As winter afternoons settle into early evening. While there are many times when I default to a. When it is time to make dinner, I close my laptop, set aside my phone, turn on music, and begin orchestrating pots and pans. The traditional recipe uses white potatoes, but paleo recipes often call for either a sweet potato topping or a cauliflower topping. I believe I’ve found the perfect balance in this topping, blending cauliflower with parsnips. The parsnips add a beautiful sweetness, creaminess, and depth of flavor. Ghee is my all- time favorite fat for both health benefits and flavor. You can substitute tapioca flour. If you are on a starch- free diet such as the GAPS Diet, you can try substituting coconut flour or simply omitting it, but the filling will not. As I pulled the finished dish from the oven, it was so tempting that my friend and I devoured half of it. Steam or boil the cauliflower florets along with the parsnip pieces until tender. Steaming takes about 2. Set aside and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, brown the ground meat in a heavy- bottomed saucepan - I used a dutch oven. When browned, place it, along with the drippings, in a 9x. In the same pan, melt the 2 Tbs. Add the carrots, celery and onion along with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 1. Add the garlic and cook about a minute. Add the vinegar and turn off the heat. Whisk together the broth and arrowroot flour, Whisk this into the vegetables, and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add it to the casserole dish with the meat and stir to combine. To finish the topping, puree the cauliflower/parsnips with the 3 Tbs. Spread the topping on the filling. Bake for about 4. Let sit 1. 0 minutes before serving. Serving size: 4 generous servings.
