Happy Valentine's Week!

We had another full kitchen this week for Community Meal Prep! There were 12 people in the FTR kitchen cooking. Everyone came home with 5 meals for the week. Free February continues this week, but CMP is already full! If you haven't joined us yet, reserve your spot for the last meal prep for Free February on the 26th. 

On the menu for this week: 

1. Thai Chicken Soup

2. Chicken Curry and Veggies 

3. Rotisserie Chicken Salad Sandwiches with sweet potato fries

4. Lime chicken thighs with fiesta salad

5. Roasted Veg and Chickpea Pesto Quinoa

We hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day with all of your loved ones. Food To Recover kicked off Valentine's week with a Couples Cook event! Cooking can be a great way to connect and show the people in your life you love and appreciate them. The couples in the kitchen worked together to cook a 3 course meal for themselves. 

Did you try this week's post-workout snack?

Morning Glory Muffins

2 cups almond meal

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp fine sea salt

1/2 cup walnuts

3 eggs

1 cup grated Granny Smith apple (about 1 apple)

1 cup grated carrots (about 2 carrots)

6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup honey

1. Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups. 

2. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, oats, walnuts, currants or raisins, if using, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.  

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, zucchini, carrot, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 35 minutes.  

Nutrition Tip of the Week:  Our post-workout snack this week contained walnuts. Many people think of fish for omega-3 fatty acids, but walnuts are also a good source of them! Omega-3's help decrease inflammation in the body, support the brain, and may help stabilize moods.
